every time i see someone exclude, mock or ignore queer religious people's existence (whether from bigoted religious people or bigoted queer people) i think it should be perfectly acceptable for us to punch them in the face for that

I. Hurt.

And I was hurting anyway, I'm pretty down this morning, but this hurt came from an outside source, and affected me in a way I'd honestly not have expected.

See, we bought Nimona last week. After seeing the movie, my kids wanted to read it. And I ended up reading ahead, and I just finished it.

Bonus content at the end, it said, and I was like, oh, an epilogue to the epilogue maybe? That'd be nice. I don't love bittersweet endings, I'd rather...

...no, it's not the conclusion.

It's CHRISTMAS.

In a book that'd had no religion that I noticed up to that point, BOTH bonus extras...were Christmas.

Ya know, usually it doesn't bother me. Usually I just suck it up. I think it helps that I was raised around mostly Jews and people who, if Christian, it didn't matter much to them. I'm from the Upper West Side of Manhattan, the descendent of Lower East Side immigrants, and while the world outside was brutal - my grandfather was a World War 2 veteran and among the soldiers who liberated Dachau, I can't remember a time when I didn't know that most people would look the other way if people like me were slaughtered wholesale - my bubble was safe, we were accepted, we were insiders.

I honestly can't think of another time I've interacted with a piece of media and felt so immediately, instantly knocked across the face by OUTSIDER as I just did when I excitedly turned the page to see what these fun extra bonuses were...and it was fucking Christmas.

I didn't even read them.

I'm honestly. So disappointed.

I don't have a thick armor for this kind of hurt. I'm Jewish, and as an adult living outside my old UWS bubble, that's often meant I've felt like an outlier, but I've hardly ever had this feeling where I was welcome to something only to be suddenly, violently shoved out the door.

And I've heard nothing, n.o.t.h.i.n.g. but praise for this book. And on another day, it might not have bothered me. I've never really felt like I had to fight to be seen, especially since I'm tremendously secular. I mean, I've celebrated Christmas my entire life, for starters.

But why. Why was this fantasy setting suddenly Christian? Why was this the touted extra content? Why is THIS special, when the areligious world established to that point was apparently not special enough?

I can't say yet if this ruined the story for me. It's far too soon. But I'm *intensely*, viscerally let down, and...I hurt.

Christians...maybe stop doing this shit.

#unforth rambles #im not sure how to tag this #i dont want to tag fandom since its kinda anti #and i dont want to tag antisemitism cause its not really #and i dont want to tag microaggressions cause thatll just show my privilege that ive been lucky enough to not have this feeling more often #but seriously WHAT THE FUCK #im genuinely considering rereading just so i can see if it was always christian and i just missed it until then #because its so fucking ubiquitous that it slides right off #but i dont think it was!!! #WHYS IT GOTTA BE CHRISTIAN WHAT THE HELL #and why have i never heard this mentioned surely im not the only person to notice this #maybe it was less jarring for people who rwad along with the webcomic #since these were extras released along thw qay #not shoved in the back of the book like in the print edition #i dont fucking know #i just know i hate it #this special fun thing could have been anything #and instead it was for one specific segment of the audience #and thats honestly so unnecessary and kinda yicky #dont you guys every get tired of making everything about your fucking dumb holidays you stole from other cultures #give me back passover i demand you turn over easter as a reparation

nobody can convince me that cultural christianity in western culture, particularly the USA, doesn't exist when i specifically remember one time me and my family used to go to this plant based restaurant a few years back, and i remember that the owner was openly Buddhist and had put Buddha as part of the logo for her restaurant, and then I had watched a show that had a segment about Buddha, which I found really cool, so I proceeded to tell my conservative Christian mother about what I learned, then she told me "that's nice honey, but I go here for the food, NOT the politics." with a passive aggressive tone, and i'm not gonna lie, i think it's FUCKED UP that being a part of a religion that isn't Christianity or even being atheist/agnostic is "too political" and is even considered "pandering to an agenda"

#this wasn't even that long ago too! i was around 13? also this restaurant closed down but whatever #sorry that this isn't jewish related but you get what i mean by this #cultural christianity #christian hegemony #xtian bullshit #jumblr #jewblr #<- target audience #buddhism #buddhist #aggie talks

If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. That's why bad things happen to me. It is about the sins of my father. And my sins.

not a request but how's the askbox looking?

Kinda full 😂 127 asks not counting this one right now. I did not expect this blog to get NEARLY this much interaction when I made it, but I'm so glad it's making people happy!!

#queue is set to 5 posts per day and my personal goal is just to add at least 5 to the queue every day 😂 #which is honestly manageable. i don't need to clear it out; just keep up with it. and they really don't take long to make #ask #i guess i didn't realize how many other Christians like to headcanon that their favorite characters are Christian too! #i do it so much. we should all continue doing that and talk about it more i think #Christian character headcanon agenda!!! i think we should all continue to headcanon characters as Christian AND #talk about it more and also write about it more and share the headcanons #cause maybe it's just me but i sometimes worried about it that people would get mad at me or i guess just call it cringe #and I'd be nervous to talk about mine just because i was worried other people wouldn't like the headcanon #this blog has made me pretty sure there's an audience 😂😂

If I had a nickel for every time I was in a fandom where Christianity did not exist but somehow characters had functional Christian guilt, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice..

This is referring to Genshin where for some reason worship of Barbatos follows Christian conventions (nuns wearing habits, Christian style worship, cross iconography, ‘sins’ like alcoholism being punished- ironic with how Venti behaves, and other things I’ve probably forgot).

Barbara and Jean are so interesting to me, they both are religious (the only characters having crucifixes in their clothes and Barbara being the literal deaconess, both daughters of the Seneschal), and there is clear conflict between the restrictive practices of the Church compared to how Barbatos actually wants his people to have freedom (a nice nod to actual Christian doctrine vs practice). Also the implications of Jean actually meeting Barbatos are so interesting, I wish they were explored more fully.

The second (or first, I was in this fandom before) was the dream SMP, where Church Prime & the Holy Lands were a repeated part of the storyline, with worship and even exorcisms being included. This lead to a lot of C!Tommy designs with crucifixes or rosaries, because the Church prime also had Christian iconography (the cross, pews etc.).

Anyway I love franchises having faux Christian influences (even if they’re like some animes like evangelion and death note which literally only have them for aesthetic purposes which I find hilarious) especially if characters are portrayed with pseudo-Christian guilt, I will eat that sort of portrayal up every time.
