        Perhaps I’m not a gay man in a majorly Christian Orthodox country that has some pretty choice views of homosexuality?

        If only it were thus…

        Nevertheless, there’s nothing creepy about crosses and you know it. The fact Christian churches have some nasty views on some issues doesn’t make their iconography creepy.

        I grew up around icons and other Christian accoutrements. I don’t find them scary. Neither do you.

        This is all performative and tiring.

          I was raised catholic, I’m heterosexual and OP. I don’t find crosses creepy, I do find OTT shrines creepy. Shrines to anything, not just Christian iconography. I also find overly realistic crucifixes creepy, as I commented elsewhere.

          This isn’t performative, this is a lightheaded community about weird estate agent photos. It’s not meant to be deep, just mildly amusing. If you find it so tiring, feel free not to interact with this community.

          Is it possible that someone else sees the world differently from me?

          No, they must be lying, my viewpoint is the only one that exists.
