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.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

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

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

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.

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 2 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.

So Lucifer is her mother, got it

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

I find it funny that "Trad" Caths reject the most basic and essential part of Catholicism and hate the pope.

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 2 months ago

Hating the pope is actually one of most basic and essential parts of the catholicism, just after XVIII century stakes fell considerably lower.

Yeah I was raised catholic, gave it up when i was like 10, but the one thing that pisses me off is these new catholics. Old mexican catholics don't dare disrespect the pope but these new age catholics think they can?!?!?! cross-and-sickle

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago

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

[–] Moonworm@hexbear.net 12 points 2 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 2 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.

[–] DaPorkchop_@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

Latin mass bollocks is gone

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

She is my new comfort character

[–] StalinStan@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] TreadOnMe@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago

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 2 months ago

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

Counterpont: it's basically a funko-pop.
