Why Does “Variety” Celebrate Cultural Representation in “Moana,” but not “The Odyssey?”
The double standard surrounding cultural representation in Hollywood media coverage reveals a clear ideological bias. Rich breaks down why outlets like Variety enthusiastically celebrate representation in films like Moana, yet view classical European epics like Homer’s The Odyssey through a critical or dismissive lens. From highlighting how modern culture critics selectively praise heritage and tradition depending on the culture involved to exposing the absurdity of applying progressive diversity metrics to ancient Greek literature, Rich dismantles the mainstream media's inconsistent rules for storytelling.
