"Last Supper" depiction at Olympics Opening Ceremony

Is there one in the room with you now........

Finally, a nuanced and thoughtful response made in good faith, rather than “lol, why u so outraged”

You would.

It was a slightly odd artistic stylisation within the performance alright.

If the DaVinci painting was on display in Paris, I could understand the reference (as with the Mona Lisa running gag), but it isn't, its in the Convent of Santa Maria della Grazie in Milan, so I don't really know what they were on about.

But to be fair, they did have a gag about fundamentalist Muslim jihadis; the lad running about the rooftops with a ballyclava and an improvised pipe-bomb, so people can relax TF.

By the way, fair play to Universal and the animators at Illumination Arts, the Minions interludes were actually flippin hilarious.

They’re not ‘aghast and angry’ at the portrayal. They’re questioning a possible double standard.

You know drag artists are not transgender?

Well, obvs some might be , but drag is entertainment, nothing else. Been around for centuries.

Whatever about the last supper what was the story with the naked obese smurf? Who was he representing?

Some absolute all time greats on that list.

I always thought the Battlestar Galactica one was particularly well done.

It does beg the question, why doesn't the OP see this as 'an homage to The Last Supper' rather than straight away assuming it to be negative and derogatory? (It can be a bad homage too by the way)

Lefty Gays. That's what the L actually stands for 🤣

If you think that drag artists are transgender, then you are wrong 🙄

its all the same schtick, be honest. Its yet more 'only gay in the village' attention craving.

Its not that people are opposed or offended, its that theyre tired.

You get a whole month. Can someone else please have their turn.

Maybe the elderly, or the disabled, or highschoolers. There are other issues and other people out there struggling too you know.

You're ignoring the obvious.

Drawing the prophet Mohamed resulted in 12 people dying, in the very same city no less.

A few people being slightly put out by drag artists mimicking the last supper isn't the same thing, so the question of why it's ok to say or do things about one belief system and not the other is valid.

Its not diet coke, its pepsi lite.

As a western Christian I take it as a compliment and am also very glad that majority of us are relaxed about religion (and no longer overly controlled by it) and won’t protest or cause harm when our region is lampooned.
I don’t think there was much artistic merit in it as it’s getting a bit lazy and passé maybe the drag stuff but I’m certainly not offended. I’d also see it as progress that our western culture has become more secular and isn’t afraid or ruled by the church anymore compared to even 20 years ago when there would actually be trouble and protests for slagging Jesus . Ask Steward Lee who had his career ruined for a good few years after lampooning Jesus in a play and that was central London not bible bashing US rednecks.
That other religions/heavily religious influenced cultures haven’t evolved enough to take a joke is on them not on western christians .

I still go to Mass every month or so and my kids say prayers before bed at night but I’m not offended by this. Considering its the Olympics which strives for values like higher , stronger, faster etc they could have left out the token inclusion of an obese person.
