Why Christian Seders are antisemitic (don't fucking do them), and what you CAN do.
Alright, not to ruin everyone's fun but it's Spring, which means Pesach (or Passover) is coming up and that means a whole host of things are also going on that I want to talk about.
Why are Christian Seders bad?
Christian Seders are bad for a whole slew of reasons, but I'm going to focus on a couple.
Appropriation:
Some Christians feel that because Christianity originally grew out of Judaism, they are entitled to Jewish rituals and practices. This is false and feeds into supersessionism, or replacement theology, and is antisemitic. Replacement theology asserts that Christianity is the logical completion of Judaism, and that it is inherently superior. It has been the driving force behind countless conversion attempts (which are also antisemitic) and is harmful to Jews.
Taking Pesach and making it a Christian ritual is also appropriative for other reasons. Taking Jewish traditions and warping them to be Christian is the definition of appropriative (Using Matzoh as a representation of "the body of Christ", as one easy example). The whole thing comes across as a gross mockery of important Jewish rituals.
The long and short of it is that Christians are not entitled to Judaism in any degree, and to take on Pesach as a Christian ritual is highly inappropriate and offensive.
History:
The history of antisemitism, specifically from Christians, around Pesach is vast. I'm focusing on a few aspects but rest assured there are more.
Easter:
Easter and Pesach are very close together. While many people react with incredulity at this fact, references to Jews as "Christ killers" are not uncommon, and in my (and others') experience these tend to escalate in the time surrounding easter.
Blood Libel:
Blood libel is the old, but still prevalent in modern forms, concept that Jews would abduct Christian children, especially to use their blood and even more specifically to make matzoh.
So I hope it is clear that the idea that it is appropriate for Christians to claim Pesach as their holiday, while having such a history of persecuting Jews for celebrating Pesach is absolute bullshit.
So what can you do if you're a Christian and want to celebrate Pesach?
Good news! If you're a Christian and want to celebrate Pesach, there are options! Here's some tips!
Attend a Jewish Seder
Many Jews are willing to open their homes to people of other faiths (or lack of faiths!) to celebrate! Don't just ask any random Jew though, allow them to invite you or mention your interest it to a friend. Some organizations will also put on a Seder for interfaith communities, so check for news from local Jewish organizations!
Leave your preconceptions at the door
It is important that, as a non-Jew, you engage with Judaism not from a perspective of Christianity or "strengthening your faith", as that again links back to the concepts of supersessionism, as discussed previously. Instead, engage with an open mind and with a learning mindset. Engage with Judaism on its own terms, and you will have a much more authentic experience.
Remember! Judaism is diverse!
Different Jewish traditions practice Pesach differently! Engage with the personal traditions of your host, and enjoy the beautiful cultural diversity that contributes to Judaism!
Once again I am asking “is he imitating queerness or is he just wearing sparkly shit when he walks a red carpet or PERFORMS ON A STAGE?”
"#you cannot complain about men doing the bare minimum at awards shows and concerts and then also complain when he wears sparkles"
i'm going to start throwing real punches here because this entire conversation is damaging and needs to fucking end. real people cannot queerbait with their own personalities and fashion choices. period. full stop. should be the end of the discussion. but let's examine it further. one, everyone is content to completely erase unlabeled/mspec as a real and valid queer identity, which is awful. a famous person who that is aimed at is likely not going to see it, but you know who is? the teenager asking questions about who they are and how they identify, seeing themselves in someone, and then seeing that shamed and ridiculed online for clicks.
MOREOVER, there is an even larger issue at hand here. if, hypothetically, a cis, straight man gave an interview or did a performance or photoshoot or went to an awards show in a dress, in sparkles, in an extravagant jumpsuit, AND THEN YOU CALL THAT QUEERBAITING?, you're actively harming the thing we're *supposedly* working towards, which is gender expression not being a rigid binary, people being allowed to dress however they want without it defining their identity, and recognizing fluidity without stereotyped boundaries. the whole point is that how someone dresses shouldn't be the measure of who they are, and that someone's sexuality is not for public consumption or debate.
from twitter today (about timothee btw)
y'all cannot keep doing this, it's exhausting and embarrassing and reinforcing exactly what we've been trying to deconstruct
let's play a game

nooooo pls don't reblog my posts for your circle of TERF mutuals to make fun of and give me a convenient list of red usernames to block while I fully ignore all the bullshit you're saying noooo 😭😭😭😭😭😭😂😭😭
Anyway I think it's weird and suspicious that Hogwarts Legacy has technical problems and bugs and glitches and is clearly also an unfinished game with crunch/rushed development and it's getting really favorable reviews from game review sites (not counting people who are upset about Rowling herself, of course) and in the mean time games with similar problems have been ripped to absolute shreds despite decidedly not being made by a transphobe who greenlit Blood Libel The Game as a plot.
i love when teenagers say stupid shit then when an adult responds to them they’re like “ur arguing w a CHILD on the internet!!!!!!!!”
correct! u said a dumb thing on my post and unfortunately for u i am not one of the nice grown ups who feels responsible for parenting u! i will instead mock u for the dumb thing u said!
Got into an argument with a fatphobic 15 year old and they called me childish and I was like uhh kid you literally know nothing about the topic at hand
CHILDISH.
like yes i AM experiencing childlike wonder thru watching u tag and send my post to ur friends and then deleting all ur comments.
We could also not mock teenagers. That's definitely an option. We could just ignore them. Or, God forbid, use a chance to educate them if they seem open to it.
They're kids. They're children. You really have nothing better to do with your life? No good books to read? No neat hobbies? No people to spend pleasant time with? Nothing? You gotta have fun bullying kids?
I just never got the appeal, really. I spent my youth dying to be taken seriously and I got groomed to hell and back because the only people who took me seriously were groomers. Maybe don't do that.
nah i don’t owe edgy teenagers being bigoted shits to me on the internet anything. i’m not responsible for parenting them. if they want to be educated, most of the time i’m happy to do so. but random strangers on the internet are not your mommy and daddy!
Then block them? You still don't have to bully teens, and you don't have to make your day a little worse by engaging with Annoying Problems.
What's the appeal? Why wouldn't you be doing literally anything else?
because i’m an evil terrible person obviously
But why? What is the appeal? What joy is there in that?
because, like i said, i’m an evil terrible person who enjoys bullying children online for no apparent reason!
GOAT FACT Sometimes you need to be mean to a kid. Especially if you aren't their parent. I don't mean like, beat them or harass them or do anything legitimately damaging or abusive. But man, if a 15 year old is coming onto *my* post to call me slurs or tell me I deserve to die, I'm gonna tell that kid to fuck off and stop being a fascist. I'm not gonna do it to be mean, I'm doing it because that sort of behaviour is fucking unacceptable, and if no one says shit about or corrects that kids behaviour, it's going to solidify and become a part of that person as an adult. So yeah, I'm gonna tell a fatphobic kid to fuck off. I'm gonna tell a kid spouting racist bullshit to shut the fuck up. And G_d forbid a kid be spouting Nazi shit around me, because they get one (1) warning before I break their nose. Zero Tolerance for Asshats means Zero Tolerance.
this! also dropping the chill tumblr facade to say like. it’s fucking exhausting being a marginalized person on the internet. i have to deal with hate comments and messages every. single. day. for being jewish, being fat, being trans, it’s CONSTANT. so i’m sorry if i don’t always have the energy to sit down at the kitchen table with the shitty little 15 year old telling me i should be killed because i don’t care if a trans man calls himself a lesbian. sorry if my reaction is to make a silly little post about them and laugh when i delete their whiny comments tagging their friends in to harass me more. I AM NOT THEIR PARENT. i am a complete and total stranger they just wished death on. and i really do not care that I’m The Adult In The Interaction So I Should Be Mature. i usually am. but sometimes i’m fucking not bc i’m SO GODDAMN TIRED.
Is it possible to escape? Is it possible to exist outside of the binary which was handed to you? Here is the choice of halves, one big, one small; does it matter whether or not I dislike what is offered? What is the point if I can only be given permission to do what I want if what I want was told to me, not chosen by me? The question is, I guess, what right do those who would control me have to give me the rights to my own body and narrative? Is it possible to escape and be that terrifying, uncontrollable, unknowable, ugly, beautiful alloy of a secret third thing?
yes, the binary may be escaped
no, there is only the binary
I felt like we could all use some more capybaras in our life. 💖

Leftist goyim: "This company is bad because it does (insert horrible things corporations do)."
Jews: "Yeah! It's also deeply antisemitic."
Leftist goyim: "What are you talking about, this company is an upstanding company and has never done anything wrong ever, you (((people))) are just looking for something to be upset about!"
this is the funniest tweet i’ve seen in months bye
these are all the geek equivalents of Lovecraft’s Cat’s Name
his cats name couldn’t be that bad!!!! it’s a cat, what’s the worst name?
i am wrong, what the fuck
Me every time this post comes back
go Google why chainsaws were invented, it’s really fun :)
why.
I’ve seen everything at this point, so why were chain saws in-
oh what the FUCK WHY
Thanks I hate it.
I could have gone my whole life without knowing it, thank you motherfucker
To be fair, its not AS bad when you read into detail. But ya. Still like getting slapped in the face with a cold fish.
i’m boutta google why chainsaws were invented now. feel like i’m going on an adventure.
really speaks to how i’ve been around the internet, that that wasn’t what i was expecting it to be, but it was also really close to what i expected it to be.
Every time I see this post it’s gone in a completely different direction and every time it’s cursed as fuck
Surgeons really went vrrr vrrr say goodbye to your pelvis mother
Sell it higher you fuck I paid my sanity instead of money
Sell it higher you
fuck I paid my sanity

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
I know I talk a lot about my frustrations with goyische leftists and the silence/complacency of goyim in the face of antisemitism (and I don't plan on stopping, that's very much a Big Problem) but I should also share my appreciation for goyim that I see learning.
Thank you to goyim who actually listened to Jewish people talking about these problems, who realized that a post they shared or a viewpoint they held was fucked up, vowed to do better, and then did. I very much appreciate seeing folks - whom, at best, I'd never seen reblog a post about Jewish people, positive or negative; or at worst who DID share something antisemitic or say something antisemitic - now boosting Jewish voices, sharing posts about how to combat antisemitism, or making their own posts calling out antisemitism. Please, keep it up and my ask box is always open for questions asked in good faith.
