continued Thatfucker discussion

[anonniemouse]

Since we've been kicked off FFA for the week, please feel free to continue the anon discussion here. Apologies if this is a big flop - I've never made a DW community before!

The rules are vaguely the same as they are over on FFA. Please refrain from being too much of an asshole, making personal attacks, posting identifying information or engaging in transfail.

ETA: If there's information you'd like to see archived (journal/blog posts related to Andy, etc.), please dump it here and link to it from the main post for discussing.

Re: Social Justice Points

"No" comes screamingly to mind at that thought not because the co-play is 'revealing' but because it is a house of worship.

Yes, my thoughts exactly. My very liberal, urban Reform synagogue (where, in the summer, when it's largely lay-led services with a dozen people, several of those people will be in jeans) doesn't allow any photography in the sanctuary itself. Even b'nei mitzvah's parents aren't allowed to take pictures in the sanctuary, and they're not just there because it will add an ~exotic flavor~ to their kids' cosplay. It's not about the clothing. It's about the fact that it is incredibly disrespectful to treat a real religion as nothing more than a prop for your fannish fun.

Of course, given that Andy views real people themselves as little more than props for his own personal fun, I should hardly be surprised that he might view real people's religion as the same.

As someone else pointed out in the thread, there are plenty of places that would not only be more appropriate but might well look more interesting anyway. It's such a lazy, transparent performance of Sensitivity.
