It's almost as if THE WORLD DOESN'T FUCKING REVOLVE AROUND AMERICAN EVANGELICALS

[-] [email protected] 30 points 11 months ago

Between US evangelicals and the oddest French Tradcaths alive posting about this it is fucking exhausting.

Most actual religious people I've talked to have said it was a pretty fun mixup of The Last Supper with Pagan symbolism because they've read a book that wasn't the NIV Bible or Harry Potter.

What is she talking about? I live under a rock

Also NIV is the worst Bible, I refuse to elaborate

[-] [email protected] 23 points 11 months ago

It is, no elaboration needed. All the flaws of the KJV but with shit prose.

Basically there was a scene in the opening ceremony with drag performers imitating loosely the last supper by Da Vinci, but with Bacchus presiding. Trads be malding.

Literal idol worship as they act like parody of some dudes work of art is an attack on the bible itself

Heresy Detected. Exterminatus approved.

an international celebration of physical ability featuring a rave and runway performance, dancers, and historically relevant metal performances contextually centered on the host nation

I remember reactionary weirdos praising Russia's Olympics for being trad while freaking the fuck out over England's because there was an interracial kiss. Same outrage.

Conservatives: "Conservatism is the new punk rock."

Also Conservatives' first reaction to literally anything: "@ Authority Figure: Are you really gonna allow this?"

[-] [email protected] 19 points 11 months ago

Personally I'm really offended that there were Fr*nch people in the ceremony.

I'm just gonna go ahead and say it, sometimes I like the French

They strike and shut shit down, they aren't afraid to riot because they have to work and extra hour a week or their retirement age went up by six months or something

I'm from the US and we are comparatively cucked and docile as a populace

Mega downside: the French are racist and xenophobic as fuck tbh

[-] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago

They're butthurt about a performance at a tradition older than Christianity. Deeply unserious

[-] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago

What is the context of these tweets like I have no idea what they're talking about

[-] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

It is about drag queens in the Olympics opening ceremony

[-] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

Naked blue guy

[-] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago

the Olympics opening ceremony should only ever be a giant wooden cross covered in blood, with thousands of people whipping themselves and crying in ecstatic exaltation and a choir of castrato singing about eternal torment in a long dead language.

the only event should be marathon groveling and no one ever medals, because no one is worthy.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

Also quick note : it's not a parody of the last supper, it's a reference to a painting named the Feast Of Gods

It's literally not a reference to Christianity but to ancient greek/roman mythology. The blue guy is literally Bacchus and it totally flew over people's heads

[-] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Damn that blue guy really let his nuts show. Wild.

Goddamn burgerland peoples, jesus the world doesn't revolve around you. And also you deserve to be mocked if you cry on twitter like this about American values. Sorry not sorry
