This is virtue signalling how, because of one actor cosplaying a (very effeminate) man on the cast?

DEI cast.  How can they cast a woman of African descent as Helen of Troy?

You realize that The Odyssey is fiction, right?

Also, Troy was in modern day Turkey. Not Africa, but not far either. Lots of trade with Egypt. And Turkish people are darker skinned than pasty Brits.

So, it is as reasonable to have Helen played by a dark-skinned person as it would be if she were played by a light-skinned person.

And, since it is fiction, they could have had the character played by a male child or an old grandpa. What difference does it make?

The problem is that Helen is described as hot, so blacks are out, especially that one.

Personally I'd ask the Greeks how they feel about the race swap.

Apparently the Greeks are cool with the race swap since The Odyssey has already drawn over 400,000 viewers in Greek cinemas.

What they say is immaterial.

It's a fictional story about a fictional person.

Also, Greeks didn't even exist at the time of The Odyssey.

You'd really need to ask the Thebans.

MOMMY!!!! GREECE WAS A NATION STATE IN THE 13TH CENTURY BCE!!

According to myth Helen was born from an egg after Zeus raped her mother while he was in the form of a swan.

WHY DIDN'T THEY CAST A WOMAN WHO WAS BORN FROM AN EGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Virtue signalling is about politics, really.   I am not sure you are virtue signalling by the products you listed.  You are signalling that you have money and decent taste, for sure, it is a signal, but not a virtue signal.

virtue signaling vs status signaling. Funny thing about status signaling is you get burned by your own hubris - people start showing up wanting handouts or bailouts or "a place to crash bro...just for a few weeks "
As far as anyone's concerned I'm broke, drive a beater car and live in a cardboard box.

As far as I can tell it was founded by a Green Beret who had only small success and was roasting in his house when he met up with Mat Best (Army Ranger) and partnered using Mat's Internet fame to greatly boost sales.  I don't think either of them are jews, but I really mostly know Mat and he is not Jewish.

Gemini says Evan Hafer is a Jew, but he is also a Green Beret so take that as you will.

You are a piece of shyt.
