Lmfao anyone see the movie Dogma, this is modern day Buddy Christ! 😂

BuddyChrist

Buddy Jesus would have been an a better choice. The internet fanfiction might have worked for them. I predict they won't be pleased by the fanfiction they're about to get from under age manga.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 hours ago

not...publicly pleased, at any rate...

but amongst themselves? probably swapping their favorites around.

Better than Bloody Christ, for sure.

The Buddy and Bloody of Christ, though… Now, you’ve got a sacrament going.

Because an official anime boy mascot would be too apropos?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 42 minutes ago (1 children)

There's more than the one who are (I assume*) boys, also I don't understand what you mean by 'would be too apropos', could you explain?

* I assume because I couldn't find much information about the side characters other than their names Fe, Xin, and Sky. All the references on the Wikipedia page just say their names and include the photo at most or don't even acknowledge them at the least.

Young boys especially, but young girls too are probably a little touchy for them to use. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Church_sexual_abuse_cases

Missed the chance to call her Vati-chan.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 18 minutes ago

Oh damn, in German, "Vati" is an affectionate form like "daddy", except it's the word stem of "father" ("Vater").

And wouldn't you know it, Christians also use "Vater" to refer to priests, the pope and their god.

Are they running so low on young people to molest they've resulted to youthful dolls?

Pope played Elden Ring and fell head over heels for Ranni

[–] [email protected] 2 points 50 minutes ago

Look, she had 4 arms, a body to kill for, and had a way of getting in your head

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

These are useful for luring new victims back to the rectory.

"Hey little girl, would you like to come to my office to read from the old testicles?"

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 hour ago

All I hear is, the Vatican is after the young crowd. Imagine that....

[–] [email protected] 1 points 25 minutes ago

Hmmm.

Are they ignorant to the "art" that will be created inspired by this, or was that their intention?

How is this NOT the onion...

Child Rape, Incorporated really shouldn't, they really really shouldn't, they really really really just should not

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 hour ago

So is it blessed anime, or holy anime?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Her name is Light? Like the guy from Death Note?

For seeing, duh.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

Yuru-kyara but for the pope?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 hours ago

Don't let this distract you from the fact that the Pope still doesn't have a moe moe

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

No way they're going to regret that decision....

[–] [email protected] 2 points 36 minutes ago

Don’t worry, the R34 artists are already on it.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

that's adorable. I like the frog looking one, as my name implies.

Oh god, I can’t help but see the reflection in their eyes as a hand with way too many fingers

I hope this goes the same way as the Tony T Tiger VTuber career

Thank god they didn't go furry with any of their characters.

2034: The Vatican unveils official furry mascot

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

That's when they finally get me.

To learn more google "Rule 34 Vatican mascot"

Aslan from the Narnia series is basically a feral fan-made fursona for Jesus

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

Please no. I think I'd have no choice but to firebomb the Vatican.

Edit: Catholic furries are fine, I don't have anything against them so long as they're not trying to proselytize or something; but I don't want the Catholic church anywhere near me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

Yeah I feel the same, I was just joking

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

"Ara Ara! Popu-Sensei is so kawaii!" /s Too bad there are so many cases where Catholic anime turns into the darkest type of hentai.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

For young people? What? That doggo there has me rediscovering my faith

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago
