After watching the rest of Todd's video on James Somerton, here are some more howlingly obvious lies:
10) Pirates were basically Robin Hood and not, well, pirates. And the only reasons this isn't well known are because England was particularly illiterate during the Golden Age of Piracy and academia forces this into obscurity for reasons.
11) Booing the prosecution is something juries can apparently do.
12) Francis Ford Coppola's Dracula is uber-faithful to the original Bram Stoker novel, Bela Lugosi's Fake Shemp from Plan 9 is supposed to be a vampire, and Anne Rice's vampires are sexless.
13) Kabuki and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf are master classes in subtlety.
14) Someone can apparently watch Yuri on Ice and not pick up on the fact that the main characters are supposed to be gay. Even though the fact that it's gay media is LITERALLY IN THE TITLE.
15) Katherine Hepburn, well into her 50s, had to have it explained to her that gay men were a thing, and consistently balked at the idea when she had it explained to her. Even though she's long been alleged to be LGBTQ. Even though she'd been known to have gay friends. Literally all she'd need to do is talk to George Cukor, her friend, and director of 8 of her 44 films, and ask, "Hey, George, is gay sex a thing?" and he'd tell her "Yeah, I do it all the time. Isn't that right, George Towers?"
