Part of the reason I’ve always had a hard time talking about the particular flavor of fundie Christianity I grew up with, and how/why it messed me up the way it did, is because it was always this weird one-two punch of religious guilt and toxic positivity that’s just…really hard to explain unless you’ve experienced it firsthand.
Virtually all of the media portraying toxic Christianity that has resonated the most with me has had a heavily satirical element. But I’m a Cheerleader, Saved!, Moral Orel, Good Omens. I wasn’t sure why, for a long time, because I’m really not a joke-about-my-trauma sort of person much of the time. (I’m capable of finding humor in it under the right circumstances, it’s just not my go-to move.)
But I realized recently that the satirical portrayals often ring so true to me because they lean heavily on the toxic positivity element. The incongruence of seeing characters spout objectively horrifying ideologies with relentless cheerfulness is what makes it read as satire to most people.
It doesn’t read as satire to me. Not really. I’ve watched the aforementioned movies and shows with friends, or discussed them with friends who had also seen and enjoyed them, and I often found myself saying, “You know, that’s not as much of an exaggeration as you might think. It’s actually pretty spot-on.” And the other person would stare uncomprehendingly at me, because come on, what we just watched was completely bananas. Real people don’t talk or act like that.
And yeah, there’s some over-the-top exaggeration of specific words and behaviors for comedic/satirical effect. But the emotional experience of old-school scary religion overlaid with praise-the-Lord-for-everything toxic positivity? That was very very real, actually, and nothing has ever captured that aspect of it for me the way satire does.
