Anyone notice the depiction of the grinch is most like racist stereotype


He has long hairy finger nails, eats moldy garbage, doesn't bathe, hates people, and hates christmas. This sounds like some lame-ass christian propaganda on either atheists, Jewish people, or some other minority. In fact to be perfectly honest they have stereotyped people just like this who didn't celebrate christmas for thousands of years. Since when was it cute to portray people who clearly don't like some crappy holiday that copies Saturnalia (yes christmass was inspired by Saturnalia so please stop assuming you invented gift giving and the christian mythological jesus was inspired by Horus and other pagan mythological gods) as hairy monsters that eat garbage? They depict the grinch as some loner living on top of a mountain who collects and eats toxic waste.

IN THIS MOVIE they made him a sympathetic character as opposed to the original who hated christmas just for the sake of hating christmas and then steals everyones presents just because he can (at least he wasn't given a long nose or fat lips. I'll give Dr. Seuss props on that one.) This story really sounds like something a moronic priest would say during his sermon, "OH DEM ATHEISTS HATE CHRISTMASS BECUZ DEY JEALOUS OF JEEEESUSS and DEY LIVE OUT OF DAY MOUNTAIN AND DEY EAT GARBAGE."


I like this ITERATION (Jim Carrey version) because they at least actually gave the Grinch character development (the little they spend on character developement is a joke. He decides to become an anti-social nutjob living in a mountain top because bullies made fun of how he shaved his face? DUMB) onto how he became the angry individual as the result of the bullies at his school HOWEVER despite the portrayal of sympathy they still depict him like "sub-human" monster that eats all the little kids (racist propaganda and religious propaganda tend to do this. Religions tend to view people who don't like their stupid cult rituals as "sub-human.") The Grinch's character within this movie was portrayed as a psycho as soon as they explain his origins. He knocks another baby while descending from the sky, plus he smashes some kitchen cutlery and knocks over some books making him look like some kind of punk.



So even with the sympathetic portrayal for like 5 minutes the other 1 hour 55 minutes they spend depicting him as some type of "sub-human" hairy monster that eats garbage, very similar to racist propaganda that the church has been spewing for THOUSANDS of years.








This *beep* christian propaganda garbage is a joke. Christians sure do like to depict everyone else that refuses to participate in their cult ritiuals that were blatantly copied from Roman mythology and other pagans as "angry." Sure you may think I am overreacting but I have seen racist propaganda pamphlets that depict atheists in a similar manner that are distributed and encouraged by the church in the similar manner the grinch is depicted.
