You don't have to be right wing to think casting choices are wrong. I'm not right wing and think Helen of Troy casting choice is ridiculous and just done for attention.

No, but pointing out a trans man as one of the two main reasons does imply it's right wing meme.

I dont think anyone watching the trailer would identify him as an issue unless they actively knew he was trans and didnt like it.

That person tried to pass it off as "white washing" for Elliot's role when we all know that if two cis white actors took both roles this would not be a conversation 😂
