i’m going to post a cropped piece of an image that i know will invoke strong, probably negative emotions in you without even having to see the whole image, ready?
It’s actually a real thing. The guy wanted to prove how easy it was to make a church in Brazil, something that can give you the benefit of not paying some taxes. So he spent a couple of months going through paperwork and created the national church of Hanzo.
i read this whole fucking thing translated thru google and you know what. here are some highlights
the creator of this church admitted that he could have used mercy or zenyatta who are already rife with religious iconography, or even lúcio who is the only brazilian character in the game but he decided on hanzo for the interesting backstory and the fact that his long hair and beard make him “look like jesus”
“Hanzo is my shepherd and arrows will not fail me!“
the .pdf form he used as a reference stated in an article that members of this church would be allowed to skip a tuesday off of work every month for “religious purposes” ie playing overwatch
baptism = playing overwatch, or paladins if they cant afford to download overwatch
his church is allowed to sell pirated hanzo merchandise
Becoming re-obsessed with fandoms/ships/character is the best feeling in the world, it feels like coming home, you’re like oh yeah this is why i loved you so much
