I always suspected Christians were secretly into homosexuality.
After all, they’re the ones down on their knees hoping for a man to come for the second time.
Damnnn…
Forgive me Lord, for what I’m about to do…Wow, quite wild to see some Lemmings get wooshed this hard by an Adam Ellis comic. Though I guess it’s mostly aimed at his audience on Bluesky or Reddit. I follow him on the former. He’s been experimenting a lot ever since he left Buzzfeed.
Anyway, look at the exaggerated arch in his back. Look at the barbie-font Jesus poster. Acknowledge Ellis’ work is often very LGBT (when it’s not horror, lol). He’s poking fun at hypocrite religious folks, or maybe he’s making fun of how very gay it is to get on your knees for Jesus. Or maybe however you interpret it… I mostly just giggled at that fucking ARCH of a back.
Basically, Christianity is so gay, lol.
Hold up… But everything you said was immediately obvious to me. Surely the point isn’t that easy to miss?
As someone familiar with Adam Ellis, I read this and kept looking for more panels where he would take the joke from subtle to obvious.
For once, my aspie ass could understand the joke behind it.
Yeah, I mean there’s not a big huge punchline, but this was clearly a bit of a general send-up, and also prodding at a very specific “Tim Tebow” type of muscular Christianity.
That type of Christian man is big and strong, but also extremely manicured and soft-spoken (even while saying the usual heinous shit) and “effeminate” by certain heteronormative standards. The look and vibe lends itself to fairly easy jokes about men who are closeted or so naive they don’t realize they’re closeted, which will needle some and maybe give others food for thought. Anybody who’s spent time in the Bible Belt will have met the dude in this comic, and maybe his wife.
Some of us have had the dude in this comic, in the garage while his wife was asleep in the house. Personally I won’t do these types but they’re a favorite among some of my friends.
It also helps to be familiar with evangelical worship music. Strong Jesus-is-my-boyfriend vibes in many of those lyrics.
I don’t think anyone is being wooshed. It’s very on the nose. It’s also lazy homophobic humor.
Looks like you’re completely wooshed.
Does an exaggerated arch suggest fellatio? I think I get the premise, but I’m not 100% confident.
The exaggerated arch suggests getting in position to be taken from behind. The man’s a bottom.
I think so. It’s also really feminine which is counter to the alpha male thing.
I see; thank you for the response.
nice booty pal
Do you have the love of Jesus inside you?
He’s got that superheroine spine lmao.
This guy goes to bed at 7 pm?
Yeah so he can rise and grind.
Ah, so that’s why he’s got a grindr account.
Yeah. Their man-o-sphere morning routine starts at 3am. Gotta get your 8 hours in.
I won’t object to someone doing this as long as they shut up about it, don’t boast to me about it, and basically don’t say any of that stuff in the speech bubbles under any circumstances. I find that these kinds of people are unbearable and eat other Christians alive rather than nurturing a community.
Eating people alive is pretty damn important in Christianity. They made a whole ass ritual about it. Sick cultists as they are.
Uhhh you’re wrong, Jesus was crucified
Crucified, resurrected, and now snacked on by millions of cultists in this violent and insane sect.
He got nailed by some sweaty Italians!
But then he came back to life
Almost thought this was a Mango Pablo ("I did it… I saved the town" guy) post…
I dont get it … Or is it just homophobic?
It’s a gay comic by a gay man about how gay it is to get on your knees and beg for a man (or two guys and their enby buddy) to give you what you want.
two guys and their enby buddy
I love it. The woke Holy Trinity.
Gotta get down on my knees & please Jesus.
Yeah, I got that. But I was looking for some kind of punchline(?)… Probably its just not my sense of humor
The punchline is the homophobic theist being gay for their religious daddy.
I’m pretty sure the joke is a gay thirst trap
Christian cartoon + not funny.
Well that tracks…
He’s on his knees shirtless waiting for a man to come. He’s gay… i mean happy for jesus.
It’s making fun of Christianity. The fact you didn’t get it doesn’t make it not funny.
I got it, the fact it’s poorly done makes it not funny.
Here’s a good one:
Your comic isn’t funny or even trying to be funny. It’s didactic, and really boring tbh.
It’s all just opinions I guess. My opinion is that the comic you posted stinks. 🤷
