This was a horrible waste of money and time, and only really produced something that I can only describe as disgusting. Someone who recognises that doesn't automatically become a bigot.

I was mostly confused

You decided something informed by the insecurities and beliefs you were raised with. You're a slave to the world around you and you think you had an original thought. Pathetic.

think you had an original thought

Much to the contrary. My thought is anything but original, and I'm far happier for it.

Additionally, being informed by the 'insecurities and beliefs' (as you say) one is raised with hardly makes one a slave to the world providing these 'insecurities and beliefs' - I would think that learning from lessons told is much smarter than trying to come up with stupid original thoughts.

Additionally, could you elaborate on what you mean by 'insecurities'?

Well your problem here is you're conflating opinion with fact.

You didn't "recognise" shit.

I apologise if my opinion here (this ceremony being 'disgusting') came across as me finding it to be fact, because I didn't. My opinion here is one I consider sensible, and as such would find anyone disagreeing insane.

Perhaps you took this:

This was a horrible waste of money and time

Out of the context of being an opinion formed by me?

Legitimately curious here, what did you find disgusting? The message of the song, the callback to classical art and religion, performers in costume, or something else?

[–] devraza@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 months ago

Mostly the costumes.

While I may agree with the waste of time and money, I see the whole thing of Olympics a waste of time and money but if people want to have some fun who am I to stop them. People find your use of the word disgusting well disgusting and that you recognize it as so even more intolerant. Maybe even bigoted? Also the whole thing from what I see falls under ART. While you may find it disgusting others my find it lovely, fun, and entertaining, I did. While you can have your opinions I hope you don't stop people from having fun when you disagree with them. Have a wonderful day!
