This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.
Race DOES exist. It's just a social construct.
Right. Just like canine breeds are social construct and don't exist without humans to recognize them.

We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the shitlord scripture the Bhagavad Reeeeeeeta; Kek is trying to persuade the prince that he should save his people, and to impress him takes on his frog-headed form, and says, "Now I am become meme, the destroyer of cucks." I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.
Let's roll through the logic here, because it all stems from this:
Quote
When someone who is not part of your culture tries to emulate said culture, they're just embarrassing themselves. You have to be at least partially ingrained within the culture to not come off as either a clown or someone who is trying to be offensive.
Culture spreads by emulation, that's it's method of transfer. By condemning emulation you're saying it cannot and should not be transferred, which has two implications. 1) Since you're proposing that we shouldn't transmit culture, then it will naturally die off. But you're clearly not trying to destroy cultures since your worried about them being diluted, so you must be tacitly admitting that there is a way for culture to persist without emulation. Hence, culture is directly inheritable by members of that culture. 2) The fact that you're trying to protect cultures from harm means you value them and think that they deserve to be protcted, hence sacred.

But you lack the self awareness to understand the logical implications of your own words, as i've already stated.
QED.

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.

>Calling someone a Person Of Color is appropriate

Fucking black people I swear.

When I fuck white girls I make them yell their pussy belongs to people of color.

I'm not worried about shit. It's just that when I see white people wearing chains, talking "black," and calling each other "nigga," it makes me want to shrivel up and die because I cannot handle the cringe.

Nope, I don't care at all. I just hate people and I hate when they make fools of themselves--and cultural appropriation is one of the many ways in which people make fools of themselves. That's it. I hold no culture sacred whatsoever.

Catering to idiots is exactly what artists are doing though by taking huge ass liberties. Because idiots can't be bothered to open a fucking history book.

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.

serious question, do you actually have any values you hold beyond anti-natalism and snarking at people? Not even taking the piss here, just curious.

There is an argument to be made that influential media has a responsibility to not deceive it's audience with it's influence. But I'm not going to make it since I actually agree that idiots deserve what they get.

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 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.

The fact that he has to say it more than once means no one's listening to that fact.

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.

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.

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.

The problem here is that most adaptions go out of their way to be accurate, not embellish it.

Veganism. I would say ultra-leftism, but I'm honestly much less of a leftist as I am just anti-alt-right.

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.

Not really. And even if that was the case, that doesn't mean everyone has to follow the status quo.

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.

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.

I sure hope you've got your own garden started. I've finally got mine up and running and already some of the plants are dead, but it's really nice seeing them grow.

And that's good because I'm not alt-right either, I'm a republican.

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.

I'm really not trying to debate about a play I've never seen. The point I'm making is a general one. IF an artist  says he'll do one thing, and then IF they do something else, THEN their initial statement isn't really a defense of their later action.

IF Hamilton is historically deceptive then this applies, IF it isn't, then it doesn't.

I will admit this is mostly anecdotal, but that's not how the fans I've come across see it. In fact, you're the first to say otherwise.

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.
