dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Only if the anime Catholic is a liberation theologist that might join a band of plucky adventurers to eventually kill gods.

Qo'noSian catholic church - We killed the gods. We will do it again.

I just find it very ironic that the church has a bad rep for abusing children and then they decide to make the anime mascot a small child.

Sweetie, it's not Christian unless it's John Wayne in a Knight's Templar helmet shooting a black kid in the back.

Tbf I guess, the first thing that came to mind is

Luce -> Lucifer

C'mon it's the literal first thing that comes to mind!

Yeah it's so obvious that I can only think maybe it doesn't have the same connection in Italian and they just didn't focus group it lol

[–] theturtlemoves@hexbear.net 15 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Luce = light, Lucifer = light bearer (his job before he rebelled)

There are only so many Latin words; at some point they've to use some word that looks like some other word.

Fun fact: Latin have at least 24 synonyms for "fame, glory" and it's not like they were obscure, they were all in common usage

So Lucifer is her mother, got it

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 13 points 8 months ago

Half of tradcaths are bigger weebs than I am, what is so offensive about Luce?

[–] Tomboymoder@hexbear.net 12 points 8 months ago

She is my new comfort character

[–] Moonworm@hexbear.net 12 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I just don't get why they called it Luce. Like that's such fertile ground for the conspiracy theorists who are all about how the catholic church is putting out secret statements that they follow the devil.

[–] theturtlemoves@hexbear.net 16 points 8 months ago (1 children)

While the Latin mass bollocks is gone, Catholics are still expected to know a few Latin words, and Luce = light is one of them. So any conspiracy theorist who stirs shit over this can be safely dismissed as an ignoramus.

Latin mass bollocks is gone

Unfortunately not, there's a fairly sizeable (and growing) subset of Catholics still doing everything in Latin.

No, they have a point. If organized religion doesn't suck. How are you going to build up a debt of energy so that you cna never leave because of sunk costs? Making you suffer is a key feature of that form of social organization reproducing.

Look, all I'm saying is they missed a PRIME chibi in a giant hat moment, and I am incredibly disappointed.

[–] StalinStan@hexbear.net 5 points 8 months ago

The church has an official Shota now. This is a little on the nose.

Counterpont: it's basically a funko-pop.
