American hysteria doesn't really work outside of the US. What was show in the opening ceremony is tame as fuck.

Unfortunately it kinda does. I used to never hear about the evangelicals flavor of the month's moral panic without reading English speaking news, but our local rightwingers apparently realized that this type of shit was perfect to get some media attention

It seeps in, for sure. Most people know what it is, they don't care.

Uhh...

The French Catholic Church’s bishops conference blasted the performance as “scenes of derision,” ...

Owkaaay.

Yeah, but you're picking the opposition. Most people don't react at all.

"They used wood, the masons are upset..."

There are a lot of people in America. Most of them aren't saying a word. Yes, America has a lot of vocal people, but just like other countries it's a percentage of the population.
