Dionysus wants you to know…

I’m out of the loop. What’s going on?
-
Drag queens reenacted a painting of a Greek scene at the Olympic opening ceremonies.
-
Christians naturally thought it was about them and started crying persecution, other bigots took advantage of the fray to attack the LGBT community.
-
The world rejoices at another opportunity to mock the latter into oblivion.
TLDR; The usual
There’s serious “this photo of a buff woman completely derailed a podcast about the state of the white man for three episodes” energy around this image
the problem we (although i can only speak for myself) have is that this is not appropriate for kids. i don’t have any problem with what people do in private, but this being broadcast to the whole world with no age restriction is the problem.
I assume you feel the same way about straight couples holding hands at the park because that being broadcast to the whole world with no age restriction is the problem.
i don’t have any problems with anyone holding hands at the park, my problem is that the guy in the back has his balls hanging out.
That’s a hole in his costume, not his balls hanging out. The closeup shot shows the hole. Watch the video and you’ll see it. No one was showing off their junk.
Side note, do you have a link to the full video? I had to use a VPN to try and find it and got terrible quality.
What exactly is a child seeing that is inappropriate? It’s a bunch of people dressed funny. They aren’t blowing each other on the runway.
there’s literally a guy with his balls out in the posted picture.
Hope you don’t watch any swimming events then. All those guys are wearing speedos.
There literally isn’t though
His parts are covered. Even so, what is the issue with nudity? This is a global event, in many parts of the world people are not as prude as occidentals. Some go naked to public baths, or beaches.
Boy are you new to the world of art. And greek gods.
i don’t know man, seems like quite the sisyphusean task to try to keep kids from seeing testicles on tv 🤷

It’s about looking like idiots.
Oh no someone expressing an opinion that doesn’t conform to kissing the LGBTQ people’s ass! Let’s downvote them. Bunch of retards.
When you think a bit you realise that the expressed opionen is stupid and has nothing to do with not kissing humans ass.
If your ‘opinions’ are insults, you should think about your worth as a human being
… and the worth of human beings insulted.
Yeah, because why would anyone reenact an ancient greek performance during the OLYMPICS
To insult the Greek gods, obviously. Christ is not enough.
May Dionysius withhold his blessings.
Jesus, that’s good.
My new goal is to use this in casual conversation sometime this year
Thank you and good luck!
Better to look the fool than open your mouth and prove everyone right
It doth take one to know one! Baha! I have japed thee!
“Can you move?”
Either get with it, or get out of the fucking way
live and let live
Watch your mouth, buddy.
Have you not been fucking listening?
All right, all right… smugly begins to remove sock puppet †

as he hopes the downvoters realize this is a bit inspired by the caption in the post
I mean seriously! I can’t really understand why people must have such polarized and toxic reaction over some art performance. I get that this may not be for everyone, but just like the movies series before had mixed reaction, this live action Smurf Musical will find his fan base in time…
btw. what aboth dionysus?
Having polarized toxic reactions to things, and being outspoken about it, is the conservative way of life!
Dionysius is the smurf in the picture
Was Papa Smurf names’s Dionysus? I didn’t remembered that.
The Greek? I think. God.
Fun fact: Dionysus, Greek god of wine and festivity, and Zagreus, Greek god of blood and rebirth, are the same being!
Blood for the blood god?
You’re so vain you probly think this meme is about you

Boo daa
This was a horrible waste of money and time, and only really produced something that I can only describe as disgusting. Someone who recognises that doesn’t automatically become a bigot.
You decided something informed by the insecurities and beliefs you were raised with. You’re a slave to the world around you and you think you had an original thought. Pathetic.
think you had an original thought
Much to the contrary. My thought is anything but original, and I’m far happier for it.
Additionally, being informed by the ‘insecurities and beliefs’ (as you say) one is raised with hardly makes one a slave to the world providing these ‘insecurities and beliefs’ - I would think that learning from lessons told is much smarter than trying to come up with stupid original thoughts.
Additionally, could you elaborate on what you mean by ‘insecurities’?
While I may agree with the waste of time and money, I see the whole thing of Olympics a waste of time and money but if people want to have some fun who am I to stop them. People find your use of the word disgusting well disgusting and that you recognize it as so even more intolerant. Maybe even bigoted? Also the whole thing from what I see falls under ART. While you may find it disgusting others my find it lovely, fun, and entertaining, I did. While you can have your opinions I hope you don’t stop people from having fun when you disagree with them. Have a wonderful day!
I was mostly confused
Well your problem here is you’re conflating opinion with fact.
You didn’t “recognise” shit.
I apologise if my opinion here (this ceremony being ‘disgusting’) came across as me finding it to be fact, because I didn’t. My opinion here is one I consider sensible, and as such would find anyone disagreeing insane.
Perhaps you took this:
This was a horrible waste of money and time
Out of the context of being an opinion formed by me?
Legitimately curious here, what did you find disgusting? The message of the song, the callback to classical art and religion, performers in costume, or something else?
Mostly the costumes.
The emperor has new body paint
Personally I preferred punk in the “deliberately ugly” way
Who’s that fatty behind the Smurf? She looks like she could use a man snack
Not how I would try to pick up a date, but shoot your shot I guess.
Me neither, trying to hit and quit
