Doubt there'd be anger over Jesus smoking a cigarette. And I doubt even more that a museum would pull such a film.
There aren't many Hindus in Canada, and I'd imagine the average Canadian Hindu is much more progressive than those in India. It seems odd for films like this to get pulled because of outrage from primarily overseas. If 30% of Canadians were offended by a movie poster of Jesus smoking a cigarette, waving a rainbow flag, or having the gay sex, I doubt this museum would stop showing it. The response would be that bigots aren't going to dictate things.
Something similar happened a couple weeks ago at a university in Canada (Western, iiirc?) where the student government put out a poster of two Muslim women kissing. Their message was that bigots can't stop love or w/e. Of course some Muslims (especially on twitter/insta) were outraged, and the student government removed the image and apologized.
Intersectionality is a failure if they keep putting cis men above queer women, simply because of religion. How come non-Christian religion trumps everything else?
Took a lot of courage for this woman to make that film (documentary?). And yet the wannabe-woke institutions will roll over if they think their virtue signalling could have any backlash that is more than just white right-wingers melting down on Twitter.
I almost feel like we need to segregate the internet by region. Why should twitter outrage from India be dictating films shown in Canada? Like.. if a restaurant in Canada advertises a bacon special on Twitter, and then some dudes in the middle east start tweeting their absolute disgust, the restaurant isn't going to pull the special. But with many other businesses, they absolutely would. It's sad.
Also, is Aga Kahn the dude who was in that scandal with Trudeau? lol
