“Just saw a comment by a guy who said she helped destroy the world by moral relativism.”
Times have changed. In the original book, Atticus was portrayed as the hero since he defended an innocent black man from the false rape accusations of a white woman.
Today, we would be expected to believe the woman’s false accusations no matter what, Rolling Stone would publish a major expose about the incident as if it were true, the democrat candidate for president would tweet that the false accuser “has the right to be believed”, the false accuser would carry a mattress around the Maycomb town square every day and be invited to the state of the union speech in Washington. While Atticus might be able to clear the guy eventually, we would never actually learn the identity of the woman as the media would refuse to reveal her name in the interest of “privacy” - while the innocent guy’s reputation would be ruined forever due to conviction by social justice warriors via online social media.
True. But gotta say... Lena Dunham has a striking similarity to “Mayella Ewell” of the story. Fabricated rape charges to get attention and cause destruction to an innocent person, coupled with the uh, looks to go with it.
