It's normie-bait bastardizing shit I got picked on for liking back in high school, of course I'm going to be angry at people who hate history suddenly calling themselves history buffs.
Your reasoning for hating Hamilton is fucking retarded, and has nothing to do with the play itself. Um, duh? It's a casual, entertaining musical. If someone is going around calling themselves a history buff because they saw the play, they're a retard. Again, not the fault of Hamilton.

Yes really. How often do we get serious adaptions of history where accuracy isn't taken into account other than Hamilton?
Not really. And even if that was the case, that doesn't mean everyone has to follow the status quo. Hamilton isn't a serious adaptation, not by a long shot. If I had to put it between Vampire Lincoln and Day-Lewis Lincoln in terms of intentions and role, it would be much closer to the former. Seems you misunderstood the entire point of the play. It's goal is to entertain; make you laugh, cry, and stay on the edge of your seat. Not to teach.

Everyone who has to put up with dumbasses that tout it as fact.
Who gives a fuck? He did his part, and you can't hold it against him or the play without being as moronic as those who take it as fact. Boo fucking hoo. Everyone has to put up with dumbasses. I hate the assholes who pretend Walter White is some misunderstood hero, but that doesn't mean I'm going to hate the source material. Your reasoning for hating Hamilton is fucking retarded, and has nothing to do with the play itself.

There is an argument to be made that influential media has a responsibility to not deceive it's audience with it's influence.
And Hamilton didn't. It would be deception if Lin Manuel Miranda claimed his work was historically accurate, but time and time again he's stated that it's the opposite of that.
Meh, there's not much point in saying you're going to do one thing, and then inadvertently doing the opposite. Again, I'm not interested in defending idiots from themselves, but saying "I didn't mean to be deceptive" isn't a defense for being deceptive.
Course, I'm speaking generally here, I've never even heard of Hamilton before this week and have no interest in learning about it.
Except he didn't fucking do the opposite. His goal was to tell a deeply fictionalized and romanticized version of the story, and that's what he did. He has no obligation to make his intentionally fictionalized play some completely truthful biopic any more than the guy who wrote Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter does. The problem here is that most adaptions go out of their way to be accurate, not embellish it.
If you watch ANY historical adaptation and believe that what was presented to you was the complete truth, you're a moron. That's not the fault of the adaptation. Not really. And even if that was the case, that doesn't mean everyone has to follow the status quo.

The fact that he has to say it more than once means no one's listening to that fact.
And Hamilton didn't. It would be deception if Lin Manuel Miranda claimed his work was historically accurate, but time and time again he's stated that it's the opposite of that. Who gives a fuck? He did his part, and you can't hold it against him or the play without being as moronic as those who take it as fact.

Vampire Hunter is balls to the walls over the top to the point that you can tell it's full of shit, it's also common sense that vampires don't fucking exist.
The problem is the Hamilton cast may even say they're taking liberties but how often do you hear that? You still have mindless masses eating it up believing everything in the script and then they go and tout their knowledge of the founding father. Not many people bother to look into this shit past high school and only at a college level will you find these true facts, so this will be passed off as common knowledge.
And who gives a shit if people think that Angelica was into Alexander? That's on them, not the play. If people thought that Lincoln actually hunted vampires, would that be the fault of that movie? No, because it never claimed it was historically accurate, and neither did Hamilton. And that's on them, for believing that an obviously fictionalized version of the Hamilton story is some kind of biographical history lesson. LMM set out to tell a good story, not one that's true to what happened. If you watch ANY historical adaptation and believe that what was presented to you was the complete truth, you're a moron. That's not the fault of the adaptation.

no one gives a shit about historical accuracy holy shit
stop being autistic
it's just a heartbreaking, catchy musical
I bet you think the movie where Lincoln was a vampire hunter was better than the Oscar winning Lincoln.
Caring about historical accuracy this much is pretty fucking dumb--especially when it's not TRYING to be historically accurate.
that said i have no idea if hamilton is trying to be historically accurate
Historical accuracy is important because then we have dip shits running around thinking Angelica Schuyler really did lust after Hamilton.
I don't. Lincoln with Daniel Day-Lewis was far better, because of the acting, cinematography, direction, cohesion, etc. The fact that it was historically accurate is meaningless. And who gives a shit if people think that Angelica was into Alexander? That's on them, not the play. If people thought that Lincoln actually hunted vampires, would that be the fault of that movie? No, because it never claimed it was historically accurate, and neither did Hamilton.

>The more inaccurate the song is the better it is
This is a tragedy, to both music and history.

it's not LMM has openly admitted that telling a good narrative was his goal with the musical, and that he took many liberties to make that happen, and have the Burr/Hamilton relationship be as gripping as possible Ian is just being pedantic and autistic, as usual he thinks every historical adaptation is shit unless it's completely accurate like dude go watch a documentary

Because Hamilton is already a joke that can't be taken seriously when they can't even get historical facts right.
And no one complains with something like Hamilton, where black people "appropriate" the culture of whites. lmao dude get that hate boner back in your pants

Or, y'know, somebody who is genuinely interested in that culture and wants to see what it's like. It's pretty obvious when somebody is trying to mock a culture and when they're merely curious about it. It's also pretty obvious that you don't have to be intentionally making a mockery of something to be making a mockery of something. There are cultural symbols that have meaning behind them--to appropriate something like that without grasping the meaning behind it would be a mockery, and you'd be a shithead for even attempting to be a part of it.
You're a cultureless swine so I can't blame you for being unable to empathize.
Is it really any different if an urbanized, upper-class black person who drinks lattes all day wears an african tribal headdress? He's just as secluded from that culture as the white guy who works in the office next to him, and it's just as mocking. Just because his great great great great great grandfather's great grandfather was part of that culture doesn't give him any justification to appropriate it. And no one complains with something like Hamilton, where black people "appropriate" the culture of whites. All this concept really does is divide us more and create more issues.

it's because video games are post-mainstream now, they're part of the culture
Or maybe they realized that games don't make people violent
Social acceptance drives forward thinking. There was never any actual evidence video games caused violence, it was just an acceptable target to put the blame on.

It seems like itβs important to the creative folks behind the scenes of Rogue One to establish right off the bat that this film exists within the Star Wars universe but stands apart from the Skywalker family saga. Thereβs no better way to start off than by switching up the narrative crawl. Nothing wrong with this.

bruh, singular they has been a thing since the 14th century
Only because of lazy, ungrammatical idiots. It's still considered informal and improper, and for good reason.
I use it all the time as a singular pronoun and I understand it's not "correct." I just don't care. It should be able to be used this way.
It creates lexical ambiguities that would look puerile and unprofessional under a formal setting. If you were reading an article about someone in the newspaper who insisted on being referred to as a "they," the average reader is going to assume that the story is referring to more than one person. It just creates unnecessary confusion.
Then we need a word to refer to agender/gender nonbinary people. Because whether you like it or not, it is a thing.

pics or it didn't happen. This is the second Trump related car incident you've posted and both times you didn't show any proof. I'd link you some instances of people faking Trump induced harassment, but Chally will bully me.
I told you, I could give a shit if you believe me or not. I'm not here for sympathy or validation. Do I think there are asshats that believe that Trump entitles them to this sort if f behavior? Obviously that's a big ten four. Do I care about convincing you or anyone else? Nope. You'll believe what you will despite what's proven to your satisfaction or not. And what does convincing you mean in the grand scheme of things anyways? Not very much.
I mean why not just post a pic of the letter
