There's no reference to or invocation of cults, just a playful use of the cartoonish idea of evil people. I'd find it distasteful if there were like, references to kool-aid or Manson or whatever, but there aren't. Is it your position no one should poke fun at the idea of "evil"? Honestly that just seems like no fun.
- reactordev 3y agoBelief in a mystical Lord is a cult belief. Yes they use it in satire but I don’t think religious tongue in cheek has any place in the business world unless your business is selling snake oil or bigotry.
- camgunz 3y agoThere's a pretty big difference between what most people mean when they say "cult" (compounds, suicide pacts, etc) and your average person who goes to church/mass/temple once a week. Like, feel free to be a big stick in the mud about this, but this is a lighthearted example. It definitely doesn't mean their product is trash or their business is fraudulent. That's bonkers.
- j45 3y agoIt’s definitely lighthearted.. not possibly a Will Ferrell type of absurdity or.
- j45 3y agoWhere Religion is communicated as as a proxy for cult, it seems to be based on an experience and/or assumption that all religions are the same because an individuals person experience of one religion obviously represents the totality of all religions and the only experiences that are possible. It’s accidental righteousness to carry on this evangelical view even when dissociating from one particular experience or thread But, let’s do yoga.
