It is pretty offensive too when you take the time to research and find out some of those Gods are worshiped still, just not in the former numbers they once were.
well of course they are, but you kind of missed the point of the idea. Albeit it’s terribly saturated in a specific kind of cynicism that could have been done without
i could get all pseudo-art studenty about it but there’s no real point since art is subjective and who am I to defend against something someone else probably finds offensive, that’s kind of assholish.
though, i feel its important to note that American Gods is a book, since I feel like this ask was because of that comment. By Neil Gaiman, it’s really good. Basically the central idea is about how gods only exist because people believe in them, and as people have stopped- in the vast majority, anyway- worshiping them, they’ve begun to die out and be replaced by worship of “modern media”, turning common things into idols of their own.
Pretty sure that piece was meant to be a direct allusion to that, but who am I to say.
