I'm sorry, but every time I hear a conservative, Christian man complain about feminine men just ✨existing✨ all I hear is: "me not like effeminate men. He pretty like female. He confuse my peepee, which is also my entire brain."

This is about that guy in Spain who got mad at that new "sexualized" and "effeminate" Jesus painting, btw, which actually turned out to be a pretty regular, old, stereotypical depiction of white Jesus.

This type of criticism is so fucking hilarious to me, like, literally every depiction of Jesus after the Renaissance has basically just been everyone jacking DaVinci's style, and that dude was gay as hell! These folks have no one to blame for "this," but themselves and their weirdo fetishization of "the old masters," but without any nuanced understanding of the people behind these great works they drool over, and their history as the living, breathing people they were.

I swear, this refusal to make any effort to understand the people they champion as purveyors of the "Western Ideal" as full people, is so intentional. They are simply crafting an alternative history for themselves by dehumanizing the creatives/thought leaders that built their chosen ideals/aesthetics, and that becomes especially apparently when you realize that they have effectively being doing this exact same thing to Jesus himself for DECADES— you know, that guy they are constantly insisting was/is real. They don't really treat Jesus as a person, so much as they do an object and pawn they can use as a figurehead, to push whatever ideals they want to enforce on their fellow Christians. And it's so funny, because they have strayed so far from the original depiction of Jesus in the bible, that there are now tons of evangelicals who have gone on record, complaining about how annoyingly "wimpy" they think Jesus is portrayed in their own scripture when they actually do go back and read it!

"Helping the poor and forgiving sinners? That shit is woke propaganda."

The media literary these folks have is EXACTLY ZERO and I would be cackling if these folks didn't have so much power in this world. GOOD LORD, HAVE MERCY! 😭
