I can see how they got away with not saying any Arabic terms in the last movie, but come on, are they really gonna ret-con the whole vocabulary of the setting to avoid upsetting some cracker groypers?

    All culture is bastardised in the Dune universe

    Which is bad for the same reason South Park making fun of everyone is bad, it hurts some people more than others regardless of it’s supposed equality

      But that’s not the point in Dune. It’s about how human culture shifts and absorbs itself over time. How marginal cultures become central, and central cultures become marginal. That’s how I saw it at least.
