So some of you might have seen a trend as the Vatican announces their plans to bring god and anime on their side in real life.

The mascot is called Luce, cute anime girl with religious aspects to it.

But mama mia why did they do this for their event next year? It just seems totally unreal and I feel like I’m living in a simulation.

Never have i thought these zealous buggers would use anime influences in a bajillion years

      I’m still not convinced in this age of AI image generation.

        Now see, my instinct is to just say “no…it must be AI. This doesn’t make sense. It feels very off.”

        But then I remembered the last 8-23 years (depending on perspective) have felt very odd. And unrealistic.

        Now add in tools that distort reality, and create false digital existences, and I have no more gauge for how to judge whats real. Are you real? Am I real? Am I in a coma? Are we in someone elses coma?

        Who’s to say?
