This guy is absolutely right. How can you "reclaim" voices from a culture that's not yours?? Ancient Greek women are not from your own culture - if you even recognize that Greek culture is its own culture, separate from yours.
On top of that, those authors have no idea about the History of Greek women. We have a voice of our own and you are not trying to amplify it. You just pretend you care so you can get your fame and money.
Oh snap that's me
I made some great points ngl I do fully believe you can write for any religion/Mythology that's not your own I would be a MASSIVE hypocrite if I said otherwise just be very mindful when you are adapting the stories and names and gods and locations
Again great video and very handsome
Hahahaahah hi I didn't know you were on Tumblr too! In one of the reblogs I also added that one can write about many other cultures as long as they have a good understanding and they are respectful about it. (Also who am I going to Sensitivity read for otherwise? a Greek has to make money somehow in this publishing landscape)
Also just saying if you're interested in series with themes and characters inspired by mythology and folklore for it's setting consider checking out this cartoon I (The guy in the video) made with more in development
I do A LOT of research behind these characters and the inspiration behind them and while I do play with the stories they're inspired by I try really hard to not hijack any culture
@greayworks that looks cool! Many different characters, some references to Greek Myth, and an intriguing villain! It sounds like the voice actors had fun, too!
