    Disney movies are obviously the best source of accurate portrayals of historical events/myths.

    For example: Hamlet was a lion named Simba.

      In all earnestness is frighteningly common for people who don’t have the first clue what they’re talking about.

    Even if we ignore the fact that Zeus was a serial cheater and r*per, isn’t Ares he and Hera’s son?

    Besides it being easier to list the sons Zeus didn’t produce, it would be easier to list the animals Zeus didn’t take the form of two seduce women.

    Thinking about that, women in ancient Greece must have been very easy to seduce.

        Hmm, yes, maybe. But to be honest, they were probably just trying to hide affairs and not really shagging Zeus. But don’t quote me on this!

          Male gods raping mortal woman was canon.

          As in, nearly every Greek myth with a male god and a mortal woman featured rape. They weren’t coy about it.

            Rape or attempted rape. There was the whole Io(?) situation where Zeus was thwarted by Io running away and Hera being done with his shit.

    What’s funny is only half remembering the stories of the movie and the myth. I remember asking my wife about the movie, “didn’t they give him a potion to make him immortal? Because he was a demigod?” But in the movie Pain and Panic give him a potion to make him mortal.

    I’m just waiting for the ‘not all men’ crew to show up. They should be here in an hour or two.

      What a strange comment. This was about a particularly stupid person, and your immediate assumption is that its about men. Get offline sometimes

          Not being able to tell the difference between grass and thistles only goes to show how much you need to spend more time outside.

    My favourite genre of feminist meme is “woman not spotting an obvious joke, unironically getting likes and shares for her story about how dumb a mansplainer was”

      I speak here as a man - you obviously have not met many people outside of your field of specialization; else you’d realize that there innumerable people who are genuinely dumb as fucking rocks with regards to your field, and convinced that they’re right and you’re wrong.

        As the parent comment is deleted, I have no clue what this is all about. But I just wanted to chime in that, yes, there are people so incredibly stupid, it physically hurts to listen to them.
