@mtaibbi I think you might be under valuing the impact Polynesian men had on the social fabric of Medieval France.

Why do you hate Islanders?

A huge part of the story of Joan of Arc has to do with her sex, and the additional difficulties she faced because of it. If you cast The Rock in the part… what are you watching at that point? Bizarre

@mtaibbi "Would you cast a man as Joan of Arc?"

Who cares if he was the best and most qualified applicant?

The statement is part of a broader conversation about casting choices in media, specifically regarding gender and race. It touches on public discourse as it involves discussions about representation in media, which is a societal issue. The tone of the statement is somewhat sarcastic, as it responds to a hyperbolic claim about Polynesian influence in Medieval France, which seems to be a satirical comment on the original topic of casting choices.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not directly cause harm, but the sarcastic tone could be seen as dismissive of the original topic, which is a sensitive issue about representation. [-1]
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The statement does not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech, but the sarcasm could be perceived as disrespectful to the dignity of the conversation participants.
  3. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement does not promote understanding, empathy, or compassion, as it uses sarcasm rather than constructive dialogue. [-1]
  4. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement does not engage in constructive criticism or dialogue, as it uses sarcasm rather than addressing the points made in the conversation constructively. [-1]
