OK so I have questions about this cartoon. I get Hulk, Mr Incredible and Goku, but why Mighty Mouse?

[–] [email protected] 42 points 4 months ago (2 children)

To appeal to children, which is an important focus of religious propaganda.

Need to get the programming in early to make it stick. Especially developing brains can be put into a completely fictional world and their young brains assume it's reality. The CIA did some fun stuff on this, but religion has hundreds of years of experience with child abuse in all of its forms.

Pretty sure kids these days are going to be more familiar with Goku and Hulk than Mighty Mouse.

Do church leaders know that?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I don't know, but it seems weird that they wouldn't know that but still know what Super Saiyan Blue is.

Because mice sin too.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Curious what sins mice do.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 months ago

Fun fact: all mice are devil worshippers

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

False idols. Lots of gold statues in mouse dens.

It's like they've never seen an episode before. He was always lifting up crosses and crucifying Jews.

Why would the first three make sense, but not Mighty Mouse?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Because he has almost completely faded to obscurity. Most people under 30 probably wouldn't recognize him at all.

Superman not being one of the characters in this image is also kind of baffling. Unless the artist believes that Superman could bear the cross.
