Honestly I don't mind representations of Antiquity which change the "race" of the character, my issue is with people who try to pretend there was such a thing as "race" in Antiquity and that it would have mattered and needs to be "addressed" or something.

Shitposting aside, what was the deal? Is using race the same as calling the Greeks gay (modern interpretations of older and more complicated thought?)

Yeah, pretty much. Liberal academics (not left-wing academics, liberal ones) tend to insist on vague similarities being the proof that the same phenomenon is happening under a different guise - whatever it is, they will make it fit into their system.

It's not that they're hurting the Classics because "we need to defend it against the big meanie French continentals :(((" but rather because they have nothing worthwhile to say. "Euripides problematizes gender" - okay, big news, that's the point of the Bacchants, we got it.
