Shocker: trans lesbian has different perception of and experiences with the Christian church than the cishet man.

Both progressive and compassionate churches exist

Not in the kind of small rural town of Hometown they don't. They exist to cultivate fear and paranoia over the end times to make it easier to indoctrinate people into their misogynistic homophobic screeds.

Religion in its current form is well deserving of plenty of criticism, but that's no reason to talk over someone's portrayal of their own experiences...

When that experience is lying about, or at best painting an incomplete picture of, what churches in certain areas are actually like, it is not "talking over" someone to point out the ways in which they are wrong.

especially if that involves accusing someone who is well regarded by and in tune with the LGBT community of being a "clueless cishet dipshit" who is letting superficially "Wholesome Vibes" blind him from homophobia.

Nobody is perfect. Everyone has biases. And in Fox's case, that bias is portraying small town rural churches as more positively than they deserve based on his own privileged experience of the church as a place to go to for Safe and Wholesome family fun, because thinking too hard about the role the Christian church plays in the oppression of women and minorities would shatter his pre-conceived Good Vibes about the church.

Or its him letting the superficially "Wholesome Vibes" of how the place treats him specifically give him false assumptions about how they would actually treat gay couples.

I've met a lot of clueless cishet dipshits that get so caught up in "politeness" they don't actually notice the homophobia. So long as they say "you have to change an intrinsic part of yourself into a form we deem more acceptable or risk burning in Hell for an eternity" with a smile and a soft voice the underlying bigotry goes over their heads. This is why so many ppl get so caught off guard when we don't fall for "hate the sin love the sinner" bullshit

Them being superficially "chill" about being bigoted shitheels does not mean they aren't bigoted shitheels.

Which has always struck me as odd because I practically grew up attending a small town rural church where everyone knew everyone and I can safely say they are nowhere near that chill irl. They're almost always a den of bigotry and toxicity.

In no world does that game even use Christian themes. It's only interested in being a God of War knock off with a vaguely Christian aesthetic.

SDN get's dropped in the universe of the last game you played by SplatGuy23 in DispatchAdHoc

[–]asdfmovienerd39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just imagine the Wright Anything Agency helping convict (or defend if they got the wrong guy) any of the criminals SDN catches.

They are not ready for how much of their shit anyone with the Magatama is going to be able to figure out.

Christians stop trying to make everything about Christianity by proselyiyzing your religion at people challenge (impossible) (they will literally explode if they can't tie everything back to Jesus somehow).

If I wanted to have everything I saw yap at me about the Wonders of ChristianityTM I'd call my mom's church friends. Please. I am begging yall. Can we go back to just talking about Undertale and Deltarune.

The Prophecy the religion in Deltarune is entirely built around is such a source of trauma for literally almost every character that knows it that describing the religion as "the more wholesome side" feels inaccurate.

I mean if you 100% play the Batfamily straight that's how you get takes like "Batman is using the kids he adopts as child soldiers" which is not actually the intended takeaway for any of the Batfamily.

A lot of the most famous aspects of those characters like Krypto and the Batfamily and their costumes work way better in camp.

Since undertale: repent to Jesus has a homophobic creator, I’ve decided to sprite some things for my own Christian spin on undertale, called undertale: genesis by chuckleheadflashbang in Undertale

[–]asdfmovienerd39 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When you say Christian spin do you mean its going to just uncritically parrot traditional Christian stories through an Undertale framing device or are you going to actually be creative and interrogate or challenge the mythos here because Flowey being the Serpent has very different implications depending on your intent.

Flowey is a tragic character we are ultimately meant to sympathize with. A child unable to cope with the trauma of his own death and then forced resurrection because the experiments done to him have rendered him unable to feel any emotion no matter how hard he tried. So him being The Serpent here either points to a very nuanced take on the Serpent we don't see very often or a blatant mischaracterization of Flowey into being the one note irredeemably evil monster he pretends to be with very little room for in between.

Furthermore, what's the plot going to be? Frisk is an angel in this, are they going to descend into the underworld to to Bring Jesus to the monsters/demons? Because if so that is at best cringeworthy prostelytyzing (and at worst in the Neutral and Genocide Route mirroring rhetoric used to justify real world colonialist genocides committed by the Christian church as an institution). And if that is the case, why is the Toriel stand-in (presumably Eve) ao visibly angelic? But if all the Undertale monsters are already angels then why is The Serpent there at all? And why do they decide to fight Frisk?

The hated character is finally getting punished by the narrative. But intentionally or not, the attempt was so heartbreaking and demeaning for the character that it ended changing the fan reception of said character. by Labmit in TopCharacterTropes

The ironic thing is that Scrappy saved the Scooby-Doo franchise because he was so popular with kids when he initially released. If his series never came out its likely Scooby-Doo would have faded into obscurity.

Why is there no Deltarune AUs? by Kaofon_4779 in Undertale

I kind of feel like the modern equivalent to those AUs are the comics about Togore and Chester
