Olympic boxing is considered amateur leagues because they wear headgear. Professionals only use headgear during practice and sparring. There are a couple of Olympic boxers that have gone professional but they tend to be in the rule heavy lower league where if you get two knockdowns in a round then the match is ended.

I'm not even religious and even I thought the opening ceremony was a disgrace. If you don't like religion that's fine, but there's no reason to mock people who do. One of the great things about living in a free country is that you're allowed to like and enjoy something that not everyone else might like or enjoy. But there's a certain group of people who have decided that they have the right to try and tell others what they should or shouldn't like. It's the same group of people who say they are against oppression, yet all they do is try to oppress peoples rights of free speech or freedom of religion.

I'm going to be honest with you Lav Luka this Moon channel is honestly just plain boring and repetitive, he basically just makes the same "everything is getting worse" video about anything even remotely controversial. Its like he could go deeper on the topics he talks about, but he just doesn't and just lists a bunch of headlines and cherry-picked statements from news articles (which he doesn't cite). I mean for goodness sake some of his longest videos that are an hour long are were made in a week or two, that is not enough time to make a video essay that long without it being rough draft level writing. He's like one or two steps away from being an AI generated slop channel.

As an actual Christian i didn't have any problem with the opening ceremony bc Jesus would have had dinner with Queer people also it wasn't even depicting the Last Supper these Christians in name only need to remember that God and Jesus said LOVE not HATE

[@wednesdaay_]

A man had his balls hanging out his shorts ಠಿ_ಠ He was standing next to a child right before that and I doubt they were tucked neatly in. Does Jesus want testicles in front of a childs face and on display for an all ages audience across the world? You do know they were INTENTIONALLY mocking and disrespecting Christians when they did The Last Supper, right? They were trying to offend people. Christians don't have to be happy, agreeable and tolerant of everything, especially when people are going above and beyond to mock god. Just because 'Jesus said love not hate' doesn't mean you HAVE to LOVE pedophilic behavior and evil intentions. 🤦‍♀️

Supposedly the "Last Supper Parody" is actually a parody of a painting of a Dionysian bachanal in some French museum. But the similarity of DaVinci's famous painting and the other one is close enough that the Olympic organizers should have known better (especially since the French are known for their post-Revolutionary anti-clericalism)

[@lalitabyrd4182]

Except that many Enlightenment paintings depiction Christianity were actually taken from older religions of the middle east and northern Africa. Example the painting of the Madonna and Child is an exact replication of the statue of Isis and Horus. The story of Noah and the Ark is a repeate of the ancient Babylonia story of Atrahasis and the boat he was instructed to build by the god Ea

[@BTinSF]

@@lalitabyrd4182 Well the painting to which I'm referring has Dionysius in front of the dining table like the tableau. I'm not sure whether it or DaVinci's is older but it hardly matters. Christian imagery doesn't include a Greek god or gods. I spent a few minutes rechecking the painting to which I referred above and found "“Does this painting remind you of something?” the Magnin Museum in the French city of Dijon asked (with a wink) on X, inviting people to “come and admire” The Feast of the Gods, painted by the artist Jan van Bijlert between 1635 and 1640." DaVinci's painting was supposedly painted in 1498 so maybe it was van Bijlert mocking Christianity.

Here is the most understandable elucidation of the boxing controversy I've read--and note that it has to do with more than one "condition" and also that it's probably erroneous to compare the various similar controversies without going into the details of the person and their "condition". It's from Colin Wright, an "evolutionary biologist", as published by the WSJ: "(Different Sexual Development) DSDs can prevent a person who is genetically male from developing male physical traits. One is Swyer syndrome, which occurs when the SRY gene on the Y chromosome, which directs male development, is missing or inactive. Without this gene, the body can’t develop testes. Instead, the gonads remain undifferentiated. No testes means no testosterone production, so the fetus develops female internal and external anatomy. The lack of testosterone also prevents male puberty, a process that confers masculine features and a physical advantage in sports. Given Imane Khelif’s masculine features and upper-body muscle mass, we can almost certainly rule out Swyer syndrome. Another possibility is complete or partial androgen insensitivity syndrome, known respectively as CAIS or PAIS. Persons with this condition have XY chromosomes, develop normal testes, and produce male levels of testosterone. But their cells have defective androgen receptors that respond poorly if at all to testosterone. People with complete androgen insensitivity exhibit a totally female external presentation, despite being biologically male. Given Imane Khelif’s androgynous appearance, complete androgen insensitivity can be ruled out. Partial androgen insensitivity is a possibility. Individuals with PAIS undergo a partial male puberty, which confers physical advantages in sports, justifying their exclusion from the female category. The most probable DSD for Imane Khelif is 5-alpha reductase deficiency, or 5-ARD. People with 5-ARD have XY chromosomes and testes that produce testosterone. But because of a gene mutation affecting the 5-alpha reductase enzyme, their testosterone can’t be converted to dihydrotestosterone, which is essential for developing male genitals. People with 5-ARD, though biologically male, are born with female-appearing or ambiguous external genitals, leading to potential misidentification as female at birth. Many with 5-ARD are raised as girls, only discovering their condition at puberty when their internal testes trigger male puberty. This results in masculine features and a physical advantage over women in sports." My own opinion is that only XX physiologically normal females should be allowed to compete against each other in sports where physical bulk and strength matter.

[@Tattletale-Delta]

Then there are the men, who have all the male reproductive organs and all, but have XX and it's called de la Chappelle Syndrome.

In America the conservative politicians and pundits spent days doing nothing but peddle outrage against the “wokeness” of the opening ceremony and the boxer, but were way less vocal and communicative to their audience about the literal child r*pist. They were busy apparently with more pressing issues. It pains me to think how big a deal they would have made it if the child r*pist was gay or a drag queen. The people going around claiming to be “anti grooming” wouldn’t have been so silent if that was the case

[@joesmith701]

The boxing one has parallels to US policies where schools in some area's would allow trans to compete in women's sports so there is political reasoning to be more focused on that compared to the other story even if it is just as bad if not worse. Also doesn't help it's not like the US is the one that sent that guy or in control of the Olympic process that allowed them to compete.

[@_dybaIa]

​@@MrCoreyCW1 TL;DR: that stuff leaves an impress on kids and lgbtq doing an opening with the scenery similar to "last supper" can be viewed as a mocking tone to Christians. By any means, anything can be considered as "art". But, the point is that many had young children watching the olympic opening, letting your child see a bunch of gay homosexual man doing sexual dances can leave a generally impressionable mind with confusion or questions they may not be ready to fully understand or process, leaving them obviously more curious on a topic that shouldn't be learnt at a young age, in turn possibly creating an new ideology in the minds of young adolescents. Literal kids who learn about LGBTQIA+ before multiplication and division. Additionally, the tone of the opening is obviously set to replicate the scenery of the "Last Supper", an extremely important piece of art to Christianity, which then is filled with men and women doing sexual movements and wearing sexual clothing; conveying an entirely divergent message from the one in the "Last Supper". Many Christians do not fully support the LGBQTIA+ community, meaning that if you show a group of people of LGBTQIA+, whose ethos is about supporting same gender relationships, gender switching, no gender, etc., in the setting similar to the one of the "Last Supper" to groups of Christians (or anyone else) whose doctrine emphasizes staying true to one's biological gender and believing in only heterosexual relationships, then there's obviously going to be a problem.

[@thatreddude7700]

The Olympic opening wasn’t a rendition of the last supper. It was inspired by Dionysus, the Greek god of wine-making, fruitfulness, and ecstasy. It was weird and stupid nonetheless.

[@johnmerrill973]

Dionysus is used by pagans to discredit Jesus as he can turn water into wine. The woman depicting Jesus even posted online that it was a gay last supper.

That's what they're trying to say for damage control. But as stated in the video it has a lot more similarities to the last supper. The woman in the center has a halo around her head like Jesus, at one point the actors pose in the exact same poses as in the painting of the last supper. The woman in the center even put out 2 tweets referring to it as a spin on the last supper which she deleted after the controversy.

@@Sandman60077 I can't post the link but I've seen the Renaissance painting in a French museum that I think the tableau was based on and it does have a remarkable similarity to DaVinci's Last Supper, including the halo, but is supposedly showing a Dionysian bachanale. Still, the mistake is so easy to make and the confusion so obvious, I can't excuse the Olympics and still take this as an example of French anti-clericalism.

You only need to look back to when _really_ bad shit happened at this event to realise most of the stuff people are grumbling about here is just more of the same culture wars BS that the internet is looking for reasons to argue about.
