> I just don't understand how people can be that mad about something that _they've clearly not watched_. It's beyond me. Perhaps I lack some fundamental cultural context. There is a very simple explanation for this type of outrage: many religious people get offended when what they consider to be sacred gets criticised or denied. This is even more true for new converts who often fail to see the nuances in their religion and take religious dogma as absolute truth. Religious extremism is incompatible with rational discourse, as is proven time and time again - it does not matter whether the extremists follow a theistic religion like Islam or Christianity or a secular one like "Wokeness", the "new religion of the left" or whatever name you want to give it. Now add this this a faith without atonement or salvation and the seeds have been sown for a life of outrage.
