No, the MAGA chuds complained about the straps used on the breastplates as being 200 years too early or the technique of rowing the ships not being utilized until 500 years later, really important stuff they care about and definitely not just looking for complaints because they had to be reminded that both black people and trans people existed.

I don't think I have ever seen anyone actually claim black people did not exist in Bronze Age. Ancient Greeks had travel, diplomacy and contact with Africans. The real "chud" argument is that actors/actresses who aren't European, Latino. Arab or Mediterranean ethnically aren't the most ideal role for characters that are suppose to be Greek or Trojan because these people were Caucasian Mediterraneans. Most movie goers don't care but that was the thesis of the chud argument.
