@liztai@hachyderm.io Sorry but no, just no.

Like many people, you're projecting.

Is it the Last Supper? We can debate it forever. Yes, it is, and no it's not. But it references Greek Mythology (you know, Greece, the country where the Olympics are from), I mean, the DJ has an Apollo crown on her head and Dyonisos is literally on the table.

But yeah, many classical paintings depicting Roman/Greeks parties are inspired by the painting of the Last Supper, which is itself inspired by older artworks (including Roman and Greek ones). This is intertextuality, it's everywhere in art, always has been, and always will be.
And on a myth level too. A lot of motives and myths of Christianisty come straight from the Roman/Greek mythologies (and a lot of parallels can be drawn between Jesus and Dionysus, and also between Jesus and Apollo).
Once again none of these things exist in vacuums, they all inspire each other, and this is a continuation of that.

But sure, let's say it's the Last Supper and the Last Supper only. What's the big deal? Hasn't the painting been referenced countless times in (classical art, as I mentioned) as well as pop culture? What's the difference?

There is quite a leap to make to go from "A scene referencing a world-famous painting" to "mocking Christianity."

And why? Why would they want to mock Christianity, right there? The thing took place in Paris, if they wanted to mock Christianity, there were many opportunities to do it and in more meaningful locations than a contemporary pedestrian bridge turned catwalk.

Being upset about this is plain ridiculous and only denotes a total misunderstanding of what's going on there.
