Everyone knew that any Netflix documentary about Alexander the Great was going to be a gay porno.
This is despite the fact that there is no actual evidence Alexander was gay. It’s just a big scam, like everything else.
Greek Cultural Minister Lina Mendoni is outraged by U.S. streaming service Netflix’s take on Alexander the Great with its new show “Birth of a God.” The Greek minister of culture is upset that Alexander the Great — one of the most prominent figures in ancient history — is portrayed as homosexual, along with his main friend in the show.
An opinion piece in the Greek daily Eleftheros Typos had already been published earlier, saying that this was a “distortion of the truth.” In the article, Oliver Stone’s 2004 film Alexander was blamed for “launching a propaganda campaign about Alexander the Great’s homosexuality.”
That’s true.
I like Oliver Stone, actually, but he’s a communist Jew.
There is only one good media portrayal of Alexander.
They really need to release a BluRay, frankly. That shit was so cash.
Dimitris Natsios, the president of the right-wing Niki party, called the series “deplorable, unacceptable and unhistorical” and said the film aims to subliminally convey the idea — without any basis — that homosexuality was acceptable in ancient times.
Natsis also asked Mendoni what he thought about all this. The culture minister said the series was full of historical inaccuracies, which “shows the negligence of the director and the lack of quality of the script.”
Netflix? Poor quality script?
Say it ain’t so!
“There is no mention in the sources that this friendship goes beyond the boundaries of friendship as defined by Aristotle,” said Mendoni.
Asked by Nathosios whether the Greek government would take action against Netflix over this, Mendoni said that “such a move would be unconstitutional. Greece’s constitution has protected artistic freedom since the early 19th century.”
“The Ministry of Culture does not censor, prosecute, ban, manipulate, restrict or control the dissemination of information and ideas in a preventive, punitive or repressive way,” added Mendoni, according to The Guardian.
This isn’t exactly true.
The show is arguably homosexual pornography, which is not protected by Greece’s constitution.
Netflix could argue that this is “artistic expression,” and maybe they would win, but there is no reason for the Greeks not to take them to court and attempt to get the show banned from the country.
Even if they lost, it would prove a point.
