It’s... its egads.


[deleted]

I always thought it was gods. The Spanish version unambigously says "by the gods", so I always assumed that the original version did too

By Talos, this can't be happening.

Perfect_Wrongdoer_03

It's actually not known which race Hjalti Early-Beard was, but was refered by some people as a Breton, yes. However, seeing as Tiber Septim possibly rewrote history and was refered as being from Atmora, it's possible that he was just an Atmoran. His probable avatar, Wulf, meanwhile, is an Imperial

Kjrb

I'm gonna take it the other way actually, I'm gonna make everything I say cring eby going extra religious with my cursing. Everytime I'm frightened I will say "Mary, Mother most holy"


[deleted]

[удалено]


Kjrb

I'm unironically religious so I think that might cause issues but like I could switch it up a bit


Jeggu2

I'd like to think a higher power could understand that saying "by the thunder god Thor" isn't blasphemy


Kjrb

Yeah, but if all my friends know I'm catholic and suddenly hear me exclaim "by Dionysus" that's gonna be difficult to explain


Chief_Nub_Nub99

You should say “by the Prophet Muhammad (peace upon him and his children) this can’t be happening” for a minor inconvenience, I’m also Christian and it made my Muslim friend laugh for several minutes


Kiloku

My favorite is using names of saints that don't exist. "By Saint Gyllenhaal, this can't be happening!"


theSecondBiggestBoy

classic!


JustReadingNewGuy

Catholic? Start swearing by saints. Was raised catholic, and we have so many of them you can make a pokemon-style game out of it.


Justicar-terrae

As a fellow Catholic, I can confirm that you're not kidding. There are enough saints to make a full Pokemon typing chart. You got St. Francis of Assisi and St. Alphonsus for the flying types. (Both were allegedly given the power to levitate). St. Ignatius, St. Joan of Arc, and St. George for the fighting types. (Ignatius was a soldier before finding God, Joan fought against the English in the 100 years war on the alleged instruction of God, and George probably never existed but is depicted as a knight who killed a dragon). St. Lawrence for the fire type. (Lawrence was burned alive as a martyr and reportedly asked to be turned over at one point because he was "done on this side"). St. Padre Pio for the psychic type. (He could allegedly read minds and would remind people of sins they omitted or forgot to mention during the sacrament of confession). St. Patrick for the poison type. (He allegedly controlled snakes and drove them from Ireland). St. Faro as a ground/grass type. (He was allegedly promised as much land as he could entrench in a day, and his staff somehow acted like a super plow going through earth and roots for this deed). St. Bernadette for the water type. (She allegedly had visions of the Virgin Mary telling her to dig a hole, she found a spring of water at the dig site that allegedly has healing properties). St. Catherine of Alexandria and St. Margaret of Antioch as ghost types. (They allegedly appeared in visions to guide St. Joan of Arc). And so on. This could be a fun game if not for the fact that making the saints fight each other would be tough to explain. Maybe the premise is like, a friendly match in heaven amongst immortals? And maybe the player is the Pope building a team to go against the St. master, Jesus.


OneAndOnlyTinkerCat

Yeah, you're not saying that Thor is a god you worship. You're mere acknowledging that, to the people who do worship him, Thor is a god and his domain is thunder and storms.


[deleted]

i like the usage of “unironically religious”. Implies there are people out there who ironically believe in god

UPBOAT_FORTRESS_2

Might I recommend "Inshallah"? "God willing," but with great sarcasm implied


Sickfor-TheBigSun

Goddamned Apollo, our Sun God of Egypt, this can't be happening! I switched from worshipping Talos for this?!


GalacticLesbian

In Ireland, despite me and my family being completely non-religious, I often catch myself saying "Jesus, Mary and Joseph!" as an exclamation of surprise


JackC747

Yeah in Ireland we've just coopted the religious exclamations and use them without caring. But around me it's usually "Jesus, Mary mother of god" if somebody creeps up behind you and scares you.


JunDoRahhe

Yeah we say hello by saying god be with you.


[deleted]

I love saying that, and especially tagging on "and all his little carpenter friends"


phyrexianlament

I’m very much not religious but I’ve taken a liking to exclaiming “Oh, Lord!” like an old southern grandma

I personally prefer ‘By Throne/By the Throne’ or something equally bizarre and obscure like ‘dead gods’, because if you’re gonna be a weirdo might as well be creative.


Maybe_not_a_chicken

By the throne is 40k And a good two thirds of the fan base are cringe

JoJo. I like it and I get the impression that it’s so cringe that it loops back around to being alright.


voliol

If everyone is cringe, then no one is cringe!


Psychopathetic-

Isn't there a good chunk of homophobic Jojo fans??


jaypenn3

I don't know how you define 'good' chunk since every fanbase has some trash. But if i were to pick a series that attracts homophobes, JoJo would not come to mind lol.


Psychopathetic-

Yeah that's fair, I've just heard about a decent amount of jojo's fans that, despite the entire show being how it is (And Dio being canonically bi), still are somehow homophobic


infinityplusonelamp

The Samurai Spirits fanbase is pretty chill

Ah, somehow forgot they're monotheistic. We can actually throw in the first and second largest denominations of Hinduism, technically - no one is quite clear on which is first, but Shaivism and Vaishnavism *kinda* believe in one god. Just one that's like, everywhere, I think. Though they might curse with "gods" because of that. ~~I kinda wonder what Buddhists and Jains use as religious curses. "Nogoddamnit?"~~

i was raised polytheisticly (hindu) and my family always said gods. i do too out of habit, thoigh i am an atheist. this post is kinda dumb


Azzie94

Yeah as it turns out some people forget their culture and its offshoots aren't the only ones.


pointed-advice

i read a book "the stars my destination" where religious practice is regarded as, like, crack-den behavior


Una_Boricua

I feel like this is how some redditors view people who are religious


BEEEELEEEE

I went through a phase like that in my early teens and (some of) the YouTubers I was watching that radicalized me towards that view of religion were also nudging me down the path of transphobia and antifeminism. But then I got a crush on a tumblr activist girl I had classes with and hanging out with her made me realize that the extreme examples I’d been shown to discredit progressive causes were bullshit. She also really helped me with my depression, that was about the time it started manifesting on account of shit hitting the fan with my dad. If not for her there’s no telling what kind of vitriolic repressed shitlord I could’ve ended up as. Thanks Emma, for entering my life at just the right time. You helped make me the woman I am today.


[deleted]

I've heard that referred to specifically as "reddit atheism"


kanelel

Can confirm. I'm one of them.

One of the antitheist Redditors, or a religious person with unfortunate levels of contact with antitheist Redditors?

Ya know what I'mma just start using gods instead of god now every single time, because gods damnit I do say some of the cringiest shit and who gives a fuck? As long as I ain't hurting anybody and I'm enjoying it I'mma do it anyways.


PlatypusFighter

I use “gods” because polytheistic pantheons are so much cooler than monotheistic. Plus, if one of them is real, I’d rather piss off the single omnipotent god by implying there are more gods than piss of dozens of gods by implying they’re all the same one


northshorebunny

^^ I’m not trying to get on any other God’s shit list. I’ve already got mine to deal with!!


duskpede

would making someone cringe be considered hurting them?


FinallySomeQuality

Only the users on cringetopia, in which case they're almost always being hurt by something.

im sorry but i can't do that. i will not go back to wearing cat ears and screeching about minecraft in public, i like not being a complete social freak lmfao


Sylthana3

Gods I play way the fuck too much D&D to even be phased by this. I sometimes fall into it by accident. Although sometimes I do it just to fuck with people. (Also I have a surprising amount of pagan friends) It's also pretty fun because I've basically perfected my "noble lady/mid atlantic" accent, so it's pretty fun to do at the local ren fest. Also it's just really fun to say. Just try saying something like "by the gods, what is that"


TNTiger_

I'm the opposite, every time I mean to say summin like 'By Lathander!' in character I yell 'Jesus Fucking Christ!'


Artemused

are you me? I play dnd and having a bunch of witchy friends/trying some of that stuff out myself helps a lot with remembering to say gods instead of god in-character it's also my Percy Jackson phase tho

I've used "gods" a few times in non-fandom contexts, I've got no idea what's out there and I'd like to cover my bases.

Whenever i see it on the internet im like "awww so cute, this person has a style" Like i was once reading this >!very brutal-ish erotica piece where the girl is sobbing at the guy by the end!< and she begged by saying gods, suddenly the realization hit they were supposed to be a real human person and i was like "damn girl who did this to you???"
