cmon onion, that's James Gunn level of comedy

Drama has done a lot worse for a lot less tbh

At least it's satirizing something real (pedophilia in the church) and not just edgelord ramblings about kiddy diddlers for no reason other than twitter fight baiting. Which reminds me, we should make Gunn a mod here.

Thank for reminding me how cancerous twitter is.

Why are people so touchy about child molestatopm>

Nobody likes a kinkshamer

Of course we are outraged...they are disparaging our religion. Where are their Muslim “jokes”? I’m tired of Catholics being targets of ridicule, but the left is too afraid of calling out Muslims (did you not see the compound in New Mexico?

Irony is dead and we killed it.

The Onion has mocked the ever living shit out of Islam too.

It is what make that boomer post so good.

Reminds me of when Charlie Hebdo got all sorts of support from christian burgers and they were like "lol, christianity is gay too."

Charlie hebdo reporting is trash but it trigger so much people it wrap all the way back to good.

Charlie Hebdo getting themselves killed is something we can all rally behind for one reason or another.

I liked Cabu work in the canard enchainé. No bully.

I spent hundreds of hours of my life learning French for this moment, when someone is talking about Paris newspapers and I can just nod and pretend like I know what they're talking about, and maybe the people who know even less French than me will be impressed.

Cabu was a dessinator that made satiric drawing. The canard enchainé is a satiric newspaper that publish only news about corruption (they are a very serious article wise, and honestly one of the best newspaper in the world, but they are focused only on corruption in france). They also have political drawings, (like r/politicalhumor, but actually good), and Cabu worked there.

One of his best work (for me) was a strip that was at the end of every canard enchainé, that was called the beaufs (the translation would probably be white trash), that was hilarious, mocking everyone from socialists to FN.

In what way?

Highly doubt they would make a joke about Muhammad being a pedophile

In fact I dont remeber them ever even depicting Muhammad

They literally made a drawing of every major religious figure in the world fucking and said no one died from this drawing. They called Islam a homicidal religion full of snowflakes.

They literally made a drawing of every major religious figure in the world fucking

Not every major religious figure , sacrilegious icons for almost all religions sure but one big one was missing

Such as?

Mohammed not being there was literally the point you utter fucking moron

The point that they can and will only profanely insult certain religions

That was the joke you mouthbreathing moron.

Completely uncalled for. Nothing funny about this post. Stick to BS topics. Making fun of any religion is a no go and will get you banned from my feed.

Oh no! Not an entire person's feed! Guess we better kill attempts at comedy aaa.

Catholics:

Kicking pedos out of your religion? Nah!

Unfollowing the Onion on Twitter for writing a mean piece about pedo priests? Sure!

This is why I believe in defenestration.

I'm guessing they didn't see this one from back in the day: https://www.theonion.com/pope-forgives-molested-children-1819566450

So they're just ignoring the whole church protecting pedos thing? That did happen and people have been making priest pedo jokes since then. So why be butt hurt now?

Ignoring the Church's numerous institutional problems is Catholics' bread and butter.

Don't really care one way or another, but I find it kind of sad if this is considered 'edgy' by the Onion's editorial staff.

I mean, c'mon, we're all thinking the same thing - try that with the Religion of Peace. Now that's something that could really send dramacoin skyrocketing (or body parts, smh)

It's not like a story just broke about the 300+ pedo priests in Philadelphia. There's plenty of time to mock Islam too. Catholics whe won't cast the pedos out of their own house have no room to call out Mohammed without becoming huge hypocrites.

That joke in 21st century is like drawing Mo PBUH in .... never.

I’m just happy nobody is gonna die over this.

Pertinent Onion article (featuring Ganesha titties): https://www.theonion.com/no-one-murdered-because-of-this-image-1819573893

It’s pretty good, but it’s just a bit craven to show all the religions you CAN’T mock, rather than having to stones to just say (and draw!) “Muhammad was a goat-fucking pedophile”.

Hey now be nice, he only had a thing for little girls not for goats

I’m not sure where I read about shiva fisting whatever moongod I just saw there, and the Eiffel Tower didn’t even exist back in the day.

Man, they were so deprived.

Christian terrorist attack incoming, any day now.

Every time I see the onion mentioned, I utter a silent prayer for an autistic reporter meets feminist article.

Lol, holy shit that cuts deep. Hahaha.
