why do Japanese appropriate Catholic imagery?
It looks cool
>>727706041They crucified christian missionaries back in the day
>>727706041Same reason we appropriate Norse and Greek imagery.>>727706190
Because Catholics tried to appropriate Japanese at few points in history.
You may as well just ask why Western and Medieval imagery is used so often. It's a pretty integral part of Western history and culture.
>>727706041Easy way to make some cool looking bad guys
>>727706041looks cool
japanese people include christian imagery because they think it looks cool, it's innocent and harmless.western atheists on the other hand constantly deliberately mock jesus and christianity
>Japanese media has Christians >they're evilevery time
>aesthetic naturally goes with evil group>real life group is evilhuh... really makes me think
>>727707562>japanese media had servants of the demiurge>they’re evil Wooow
catholics are cool they're like european wizards
japs take judeo-christian shit and make it kinomuch better than westoid faggots that take it and make gay demon dating sim #666
>>727706041The Catholic Church is a satanic institution.
>Christfags getting upset when fake christians are portrayed as evil and manipulative.
>>727707562link from zelda is christianchristians are the good guys in dragon quest
>>727709379No that was Druids
I do wonder how Christians feel about the fact that a lot of Japanese games made bad guys who are based off of Christian aesthetics.
the thing you have to remember with the japanese is that they did not encounter christians, they encountered jesuits
>Japanese use Shinto imagery>nothing>Japanese use Buddhist imagery>nothing>Japanese use Norse imagery>nothing>Japanese use Hindu imagery>nothing>Japanese use Judaism imagery.>nothing>Japanese use Catholic or Christian imagery.>REEEEEEE THE JAPANESE HATE US THEY'RE ALWAYS SHITTING ALL OVER US
>>727710587>that wasn't real communism
>>727710578I wonder how the rest of the world feels about Christians making everyone who isn't Christian look like a bad guy.
>>727706041Why did the catholics bring their imagery to japan?
>>727710471Especially funny in Japanese media where the Jesuits were literally being evil and manipulative and immediately tried to start a bunch of rebellions as soon as they showed up.
>>727710508>christians are the good guys in dragon questPlease actually play a single DQ game
>>727706041Fuck your jew on a stick, you worship immigrants, Heill Óðinn, Sire.
>>727710716Acting like the victim is what they do.
>>727706041Japanese want to be white, nothing wrong with that
>>727706041they don't understand it, but like the aesthetic
>>727706041Why do Catholics appropriate little boy buttholes?
>setting is a corrupted fallen western fantasy kingdom>wants the priests to be buddhistsWestern horror movies are so much worse about using Christian imagery for depraved shit why don't you complain about that more instead and leave teh vidya alone?
>>727711837>Fuck your jew on a stick>Heill ÓðinnDo "Odinists" not see the irony in this statement?
The cult of the deep used catholic imagery as a way to communicate that they were a rigid, ritual focused, hierarchical, institutionalized religion controlled by internal politics developed over many, many ages of organized moon worship under a distant tranny god who didn't even want humans looking at his face and created this rigid institution of humans under his control that operated with minimal involvement from him, to explain how they eventually got subverted by a charismatic ambitious psycho worshipping a giant slug monster to which he fed the god that couldn't stand humans, out of spite.
>>727712120well no because he's not one and doesn't knowkek
>>727706041Same reason Protestants are pretending to be Catholic
>>727710793even the p*pists excommunicated them TWICE
>appropriateIt exists, ergo you can make art with/of itnext question
>>727712503"How" is not "why", poseur-autist.
>>727710793the greater point is japs got to skip the centuries of posturing and "we're the good guys ;)" placating, and their first introduction was with one of the most evil groups that let them see the truth right from the start.Christianity brings nothing but doom to new countries it enters.
>>727712593I'm pretty sure the word "appropriate" implies the question in full to be "why are they allowed?"otherwise, I'd guess for the same reason they do knights and other medieval stuff. It's cool and, to them, exoticalso I'm not a poser ;__;
>>727712758My favorite part is when the jesuits shot themselves in the foot by screaming up and down at the Japanese authorities to execute the real life Wirriam from Nioh because he was a pirate, and were so insistent that the shogun himself wanted to see what this guy was actually about.
>>727707562The Japanese never got Christianity as a civilizing and moralizing force, only its use as tool to destabilize governments and allow for imperial takeovers.
>>727710716Indians have constantly thrown shitfits about their gods being depicted as "demons" in SMTBa'al and Yahweh are Jewish gods, read what you're posting. Nobody got butthurt about being able to summon Archangel Michael or the literal Virgin Mary that Catholics practically worship, you're talking about American Evangelicals
>>727706041WOAH IS THAT A WESTERN FANTASY USING WESTERN TROPES WHY ARE THE JAPS LIKE THISkys.
>>727713198>Ba'al and Yahweh are Jewish gods, read what you're posting.What? I posted this:>>Japanese use Judaism imagery.>nothingAre you a bot? Are you reading what I'm posting?
>>727711841>r/Atheism post crying about Christians>it's Evangelical retardationEvery time
>>727706041The Portuguese spammed 'em with missionaries.And they did eventually resist to put it lightly, even so it survived. At this point it's not appropriation, they're fair-n-square part catholic.I mean half the fucking point of the age of discovery was apostolization. So why the fuck are you complaining about it now? You did this to yourself, plus the west is currently sucking Muslim cock IRL, nevermind catholic representation in game, in fact Japs have been carrying 90% of that weight for the past 30+ years.
What are some evil vidya factions with islamic aesthetics? Bonus points if its fantasy.
>>727706041Why would they not?Are westoids still trying to push that "cultural appropriation" nonsense?
>>727706041Because the first christfags to japan for a few hundered years were overwhelmingly cathloic.>>727706332That too. >>727712758>>727713172>>727713173>>727713687When the first expedition from asia to the west ever from an asian country launched from Japan, they landed in Mexico. The saw what the cathloics, spanish and the like did there to the natives and thought it could happen to them.>>727714354The Gerudo.I want to say dune, but everyone's kind of evil there.
>>727714546>Are westoids still trying to push that "cultural appropriation" nonsense?Absolutely. It's one of the reasons why new pokemon regions are so weird.
>>727706041Because it's the most a extremely ostentatious death cult and that's metal as fuck
I mean it's not as if they were always evil just because they eventually became mindless hollows
>>727706041just bugmen things
