Tell that to Ursula Le Guin when she saw all those white people in the Earthsea adaptations.

Note: There are few characters in the Earthsea books who are white precisely because most fantasy is white.

If you can’t tell the difference between random white people on the internet complaining about a film adaptation of the Odyssey and the author of Earthsea not liking the TV show they made about her books just because they’re both fictional narratives, you might be a bit out of your depth in attempting to critique Le Guin about anything.

That's partly on me. To be clear, I wanted to point out there are cases where it's a valid complaint, outside of the usual white genocide dipshits. The current "controversy" with Helen is not one of those cases
