Hey guys!
I need your opinion, I made this art for all Ethereum fans https://bitgiftshop.com/product/vitalik-jesus-all-over-t-shirt-blue/
and I really like it but some people telling me it's inappropriate, coz it's offends their felling and believes. If some of you are Christians and Ethereum lovers at the same time please tell me if I should change it. Thank you!

ps- I hope you will recognize Vitalik Buterin :)

It not a problem.. don't worry about it  ;D

You can use anything what you want in your art. There will always be someone who will feel offended about something.

Well you know, there will be always people who would not like it, is not my case, my recommendation is to avoid always those type of polemics to be safe...

i'm pretty sure that you can made another one art without those type of polemics, yes? ;)



Now that you said it, maybe yes... xD

To tell you frankly i didnt really like the shirts design and as you said it would really offend others beliefs. Its not really appropriate to use the image of the Lord (Christians) related into this matter.It would be much better to put Buterins whole body picture on that shirt it would be more appealing for me.I dont know for others if they do like but for me its a big "NO".

you can also buy Jesus coin in crypto world - https://jesuscoin.network/

;) thank you

I'm a Christain..

people get offended too easily,

God himself says to not idolize.. so if you're offended its because you idolize the symbolism and really your core beliefs are simply perverted. You need to get your priorities straight.

People need to grow up..

I like the shirt, carry on!

In my opinion, in today's world, it's IMPOSSIBLE to do anything without offending someone. You could use a random fruit or vegetable, or even the sun or moon on the shirt and somehow it would be offensive to someone. Some die hard Christians may call your shirt design "sacrilegious toward Jesus," and be offended by it -- But who cares?

People finding things to complain about and be offended by, aren't buying anything anyways. They are too busy being miserable  ;D

Good luck with your shirt sales!

Yeah its fine, worst case scenario is you get scolded by someone for wearing a shirt that offends them.

Make on with Allah and watch what happens, probably get killed by a knife wielding bearded madman or woman.

It is a beautiful and a lovely initiative. However, I would not accept you saying you made it for all ethereum fans as you have already selected your target market with the Image of Jesus on the shirt, which are basically the christians and you wouldnt expect any other person to go against their belief or force it on them.
If Christians are your target market, good and fine! Even some catholic society may not even agree with this. I personally do not even have any problem with it since I get the vitalik idea. However, if you are looking at targeting the whole ethereum fans like you said, you can just come up with another beautiful initiative as this and sell it too. Not a bad idea having two different designs targeting two different markets. Just my opinion.

I must say that it is not a good idea man. You're probably looking for some harsh, tearing and deadly words from the Christian Catholic community. Not all people are open minded when it comes to that kind of art so you better think about it first. It's like a big insult in other's religion. Don't be so insensitive that you don't know what your doing or its just some piece of art, for others its too disrespectful. And its not just because your not part of that religion that's why its ok for you to do that kind of art, for other's its not ok. Try to wear it and let's see what will gonna happen or what will you hear from people who might be part of that religion. Be sensitive man. Everyone in crypto world recognize Vitalik Buterin but what you did is totally pissing off others.

Why not who gonna stop you from that, I have seen some foreigners wearing bikinis with pictures of Hindu Goddess without any hesitation. Its just a picture of vitalik rather than a god although symbolizing vitalik as god might not make any sense at all.

Jesus christ (no pun intended) that is pretty pricey for a simple printed t-shirt , no offense.
But you should definitely be good to go imo, not a lot of people (even christians) are offended by these sort of things these days anymore and even if a small amount of people are offended by this after a small discussion it should be clear to them that's it's just a metaphor for Vitalik being the Saviour of Crypto to you.
But it also depends on which country you're selling these from for example in russia you could go to jail for blasphemy as far as i know.
It's a good design and idea but just too pricey for me like i've said before. And don't ever depict anything islamic in your art for your own safety
a prophet mohammed vitalik for example could get you in a lot of trouble.

SO TRUE!

I would think that it would be wrong to put an image of Jesus on something. Firstly, you don't know what Jesus looks like so how is this even a topic of discussion?

Wait..

is this thread an attempt to sell shirts?

Fess up OP,

How many have you sold since this thread went live ?

Haha I also think his real intention was to sell those shirts but I don't think he have got any results from this thread. Most of us don't like to pay $50 for just some random art printed on t-shirt of cheap quality.

Product is overpriced.

Yes and no, I mean I really tried to understand should I keep this design on no. Unfortunately  0 coz it's to price I guess for this community.

That is a hilarious T-shirt

Yeah, I personally don't like it but as many said, you can do whatever you want.

Although if you want to actually sell products you might need to research your target audience better. As it presents right now, the art is a little joke so it's not targeted to Christians (who might be offended) but it won't be bought by other religions either because it has heavy Christian symbolism. Atheists might seem like your better target but again, too much symbolism and too little resemblance to Vitalik to "get" the joke and meaning right away.

You 100% right, about my sales results, but as I sad before I really wanted to hear different opinions.
btw - the quality not cheap at all. the t-shirts made in US and printed in Cali
btw2 - not $50, only $40. Plus I gave  -25% off to this community. I dont make any money from this, I just wanted to ppl enjoyed my designs every day

Mostly this kind of people are offended, whose yell is:
We are free in doing what WE want!
And then they want to curb you...

I don't like the shirt, but go ahead.

Thank you very much!!! I really appreciated 

Thank you :)

You can use Jesus but not Muhammad on your shirt, or else Muslims will kill you :)

I know that  ;) thx  ;D

This is something sensitive. It depends on your purpose on it. What is your reason, if it's acceptable then go on it.

If it is about coin and Jesus is some altcoin then one can buy it and do whatever he likes to with his property but if we are talking about the Prophet Jesus, it would be better to show respect because Prophets are not normal people.

They are the chosen ones and Jesus is the one who bring Bible to mankind. We must respect everyone's belief or at least all the Prophets.
