And then Hamilton came out and fans are raising a GIANT FUSS about HOW DARE they change the bill Hamilton is THE BEST.
Which, just, like, I feel there should be a discussion about how RPF stories about people are fundamentally transformative/wishful works, and are not exact reflections on how the people actually were. AND EVEN IN THAT RPF WORK, hamilton does not come off the best of all possible worlds?
Like, I get really really liking Lin-Manuel Miranda. But no one is discussing putting LMM on the money. Alexander Hamilton was a white dude who did not know how to rap. They are different folks. ;)
