Perhaps you have never been oppressed by professing Christians before?

Perhaps I’m not a gay man in a majorly Christian Orthodox country that has some pretty choice views of homosexuality?

If only it were thus…

Nevertheless, there’s nothing creepy about crosses and you know it. The fact Christian churches have some nasty views on some issues doesn’t make their iconography creepy.

I grew up around icons and other Christian accoutrements. I don’t find them scary. Neither do you.

This is all performative and tiring.

I was raised catholic, I’m heterosexual and OP. I don’t find crosses creepy, I do find OTT shrines creepy. Shrines to anything, not just Christian iconography. I also find overly realistic crucifixes creepy, as I commented elsewhere.

This isn’t performative, this is a lightheaded community about weird estate agent photos. It’s not meant to be deep, just mildly amusing. If you find it so tiring, feel free not to interact with this community. If you’d like to continue to participate here, please read the rules in sidebar and refrain from bad faith arguments, unasked for criticism or insults in future. This is your warning.

Maybe not creepy; but you can admit, at the very least, off-putting.

Is it possible that someone else sees the world differently from me?

No, they must be lying, my viewpoint is the only one that exists.

talk about god of the gaps lol

Most people don’t find crossed creepy. Some might think a shrine like this is weird.

If you truly recoil at the sight of the Christian cross, then I guess you’re Dracula.

Terrible Estate Agent Photos

!badrealestate@feddit.uk

Create post

Terrible photos listed by estate agents/realtors that are so bad they’re funny.

Posting guidelines.

Posts in this community must be of property (inside or out) listed for sale which contains a terrible element. “Terrible” can refer to:

  • the photo itself (finger over the lens, too far away, people in the shot, bad Photoshop, etc.)

  • the property (weird layout, questionable plumbing, unsound structure, etc.)

  • the interior (carpeted bathrooms, awful taste interiors, weird mannequins/taxidermies/art, inflatable pools indoors, etc.)

  • the actual listing itself including unusual descriptions and unrealistic pricing. However, this isn’t a community to discuss the housing market in general. This is a comedic community - let’s keep it light.

  • Photos can be sourced from anywhere and be any age, but please check they haven’t already been posted.

  • Censor any names/contact details of private individuals.

  • Mark the post NSFW if it includes nudity or sensitive content

Rules.

This community follows the rules of the feddit.uk instance and the lemmy.org code of conduct. I’ve summarised them here:

  • Be civil, remember the human.
  • No insulting or harassing other members. That includes name-calling.
  • Respect differences of opinion. Civil discussion/debate is fine, arguing is not. Criticise ideas, not people.
  • Keep unrequested/unstructured critique to a minimum.
  • Remember we have all chosen to be here voluntarily. Respect the spent time and effort people have spent creating posts in order to share something they find amusing with you.
  • Swearing in general is fine, swearing to insult another commenter isn’t.
  • No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia or any other type of bigotry.
  • No incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies.
