That's the weirdest shit I have ever heard, even taken race out of it. Also, the original Medusa story had no rape in it, Medusa always looked monstrous and she and Poseidon had contextual sex in Athena's temples to piss her. The one we equate with rape came later. I think it was Ovid.

Anyway, I just like pointing that out cause I prefer that myth. It's kind of funny cause as a Greco-Roman, Athena is my least favorite Goddess. Regardless, who tells anyone they look like a monster from Greek mythology?

You should tell them they totally have a Scylla vibe, maybe even bring out the Harpie mythology. Confuse and insult them at the same time.
