"Anime has crucifixions just to look cool it's not really Christian" is half true
But it's also feudal Japanese history to tie folks to a "t" for execution, was practiced hundreds of years before european missionaries.

![The Winged Victory of Samothrace, or the Niké of Samothrace,[2] is a votive monument originally discovered on the island of Samothrace in the northeastern Aegean Sea. It is a masterpiece of Greek sculpture from the Hellenistic era, dating from the beginning of the 2nd century BC (190 BC). It is composed of a statue representing the goddess Nike (Victory), whose head and arms are missing, and a base in the shape of a ship's bow.
The total height of the monument is 5.57 metres (18 ft 3 in) including the socle; the statue alone measures 2.75 metres (9 ft 0 in). The sculpture is one of a small number of major Hellenistic statues surviving in the original, rather than Roman copies.
Winged Victory has been exhibited at the Louvre in Paris, at the top of the main staircase, since 1884.[3] Greece is seeking the return of the sculpture.[4]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ebgc2if76vqhdtkcpneo36re/bafkreicbws26bbiwjkscolarwaihtqehzm2esb5lcko5uvyse522mgfaba@jpeg)

Unsurprisingly Indonesia's politicians that call protestors "stupidest people in the world" are big Disney Marvel consumers.

![“If someone is the enemy, it’s okay to kill endless numbers of them,” he continued. “Lord of the Rings is like that. If it’s the enemy, there’s killing without separation between civilians and soldiers. That falls within collateral damage. How many people are being killed in attacks in Afghanistan? The Lord of the Rings is a movie that has no problem doing that [not separating civilians from enemies, apparently]. If you read the original work, you’ll understand, but in reality, the ones who were being killed are Asians and Africans. Those who don’t know that, yet say they love fantasy are idiots.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ebgc2if76vqhdtkcpneo36re/bafkreie4oepx656uiepnnwlqirbq63tuxuttcgv4qxd2yo5ps2wdqnwp6e@jpeg)
![Even in the Indiana Jones movies, there is a white guy who, 'bang,' shoots people, right? Japanese people who go along and enjoy with that are unbelievably embarrassing. You are the ones that, 'bang,' get shot. Watching [those movies] without any self-awareness is unbelievable. There's no pride, no historical perspective.
