What if I am offended by Christian characters, something wildly inappropriate for young impressionable minds?

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Honestly it is two faces of the same coin

[–] bitwolf@sh.itjust.works 1 points 23 minutes ago

Yeah I'm being facetious and flipping that coin over 🙂

Don’t watch it! We should always vote what we like with our wallets. If we all do, it will all figure itself out.

Disney be like: "Friendship ended with rainbow capitalism, now christian capitalism is my best friend."

Nothing seems to be holy to these 'Christians'. Some are making terrible jokes about all Muslims having to deal with the consequences of hell, because of their fake believe - Others are even joking about the holocaust.. why do you even need a book if you have no morals?

Most Christians don't read the Bible. Of those that do, most don't understand it. Of those that do understand it, most aren't Christians anymore.

Source: 5 years of seminary and 15 years of teaching scripture.

The State Religion, I guess.

Disney has a history of gay censorship, and seem to have Christian movies every year à la Christmas

Spineless? They're rainbow capitalists through and through. Fuck them.

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

No, they aren't. They're just capitalists and will say and do whatever makes them the most money. Previously, that was slapping rainbows on shit, but now it's not.

But yes, absofuckinglutly fuck then.

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 12 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

it was only a matter of time. Ms Marvel had openly Muslim characters and Turning Red had Buddhists.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame

The Chronicles of Narnia

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 6 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Crazy how they just gave up on the Narnia series. You'd think the original YA novel series would have been easy to punch up and deliver as AAA Cinema slop. Instead the whole thing fell apart inside three films (the first two of which were fairly well received, and riding tight on the LotR blockbuster adaptation, to boot).

I guess it was just too many characters, too much technical expertise, and too much hard work. Far easier to release a bunch of Sound of Freedom tier psycho-sexual thrillers. Something you can film with a handy cam, a fist full of confused child actors, and a dime bag of columbian white to get Jim Caviezel zooted out of his gord.

Religion or LGBT is a false dichotomy and shit like this just fuels division.

Fuck you Disney

[–] NutWrench@lemmy.ml 12 points 10 hours ago

Yup. Disney doesn't stand for anything. They just pander to wherever they think the money is.

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 hours ago

Priesthood was a religious answer for gay men historically, before more modern sects that are openly accepting. The modern non-denominational Christian churches are just cancer.

Really hope Jesus makes his comeback via an appearance on RuPaul. The bible does say it will be unexpected.
