The main narrative of 300 is a skewed, propagandist tale told to inspire a small army heading into a suicide mission.

I feel like a lot of people missed the point of it and try to view it through today's world views/politics when it's ultimately not that deep.

Nah, sis, people knew it was fucked up back when it was first published too, it's just back then nobody ever called Frank Miller out on his BS

Dismissing complaints about racism through a combination of "it's racist on purpose" and implying that the people complaining aren't smart enough to understand the movie is not a good look.

Are you projecting? I literally wrote the movie that wasn't that deep.
