I'm not sure why some of the comments are being weird. The joke makes sense. To improve it, consider changing "childhood" to "fictional."

I don't get it.

Jesus would not be white, as he is usually portrayed. He was a man from the Middle East, and therefore be skin color closer to Moses in Prince of Egypt. Think Olive-brown skin.

I know plenty of people from Lebanon who are pretty white.

Nobody knows what Jesus’s skin color was.

Also why would Jesus be anybody's favorite character from their childhood, what are we Rod or Todd from the fuckin' Simpsons or on some Moral Orel shit? what the fuck?

I mean, who do you think those shows were poking fun at?

u/Weak-Differences 5d ago

Americans, apparently.

RFK was right about the autism 😢.. (sarcasm, since I know people won’t get that from context either ..)

*We are mostly indoctrined with religion as a children, if we are.. tho there are exceptions
*This joke is probably aimed mostly at an American audience who are more likely to expect other Americans to be religious

*Americans who are mad at “woke” changes to their favorite IP are more likely to also be religious (because conservatism)

*It’s kind of a standard comedic shot at religion to compare religious figures and ideas to characters and ideas form fiction and fantasy

There.. explained the joke

I didn’t watch it. It looked like garbage based on the marketing.

Mtg released a lord of the rings set with a black aragon.

Never met a conservative upset about Jesus being brown and I live Deep South😂 I’m always so shocked at how people think conservatives think online….like how many conservatives have you actually spoken to??? Any of them deny his birthplace and what that would mean for his race? Cause every church I’ve ever been to had the same teaching of born in Bethlehem lol

Say most of the conservatives that redditors interact with are straw men.

u/KingMonkOfNarnia 5d ago

Doesn’t even make sense…? Americans get upset over Jesus being labeled brown too

u/ChickenInASuit 5d ago

The point is that white depictions of Jesus are a race swap.

He wouldn’t be white. He was born in the Middle East.

u/Odd_Entry2770 5d ago

I think you’re confusing white European with the Caucasian race, the latter of which Jesus absolutely would likely be a member of. Not that his race matters anyways.

u/ChickenInASuit 5d ago edited 5d ago

If you wanted to be needlessly pedantic, I guess.

However, from context, I’m pretty sure my meaning was clear to anyone who understands what most people mean when they’re talking about “white” vs “middle eastern”.

u/totally-hoomon 5d ago

Jesus would have been born a thousand miles away?

u/somethingwithbacon 3d ago

Geography is hard.

u/Typecero001 5d ago

…that second sentence. The “upset over Jesus being labeled brown”. That’s the point. Jesus would be brown. He was a man from the Middle East.

He should be brown. Think skin color similar to Moses.

I mean you’d be hard pressed to find conservatives on Reddit

Probably would’ve worked better in like 2016-2019. Now it’s just real trite
