The ‘End Wokeness’ account complained about Netflix portraying Alexander the Great as gay and it didn’t end well for them
Netflix have recently released a six part documentary series about Alexander the Great, the Macedonian king who is considered to be one of the world’s greatest military generals.
He died in 323 BC, aged just 32, having built a huge empire and having changed the course of history forever. We confess that we don’t know that much more about him (we’ll have to watch the documentary).
The endearingly entitled End Wokeness Twitter account, however, were absolutely furious (we imagine it’s their default emotion) that Netflix have portrayed Alexander as being gay.
Their post has since had a community note added to it, but not before they were flooded with replies stating that yes, Alexander the Great quite famously had sexual relationships with men.
Let’s have a look.
And now the replies.

I don’t think it was Netflix that made him gay.

Conservatives are so funny, they genuinely can't wrap their heads around the fact gay people existed before Netflix turned the masses woke in the mid 2010's. https://t.co/IfBxI1mlyq

There, of course, being absolutely zero suggestion in the historical record that Alexander was to any degree homosexual… https://t.co/WTSrQ5f3OX pic.twitter.com/tmfkRmrT87

Reading a book on ancient Greece would just absolutely destroy the online right. https://t.co/vlQX77HI9t

He actually was bisexual. This isn't wokeness, it's accuracy.

Uhh…most people have heard of Alexander The Great. And 90% of those people only know 2 things about him–that he did some conquering and that he liked dick. https://t.co/BaIkQPLBa9

“They turned him gay” my brother in Christ, Alexander the Great WAS gay. It’s well documented that he was banging his general and best friend Hephaestion. This was hundreds of years before Christianity outlawed gay relationships and the Greeks are known for their fluid sexuality https://t.co/6kxuizGEb1

I dunno man, I guess if the famously heterosexual Alexander the Great could get gayed in under eight minutes you’d better watch yourself. Sounds like our powers are vast and your own heterosexuality exists only as a charitable grant from us. pic.twitter.com/XfZ0drkEfk
