would they even recognize him irl

They would hate him irl. He said to give up material possessions and to help the poor and to not judge the sinner.

as a white guy who used to have long hair and a beard, I got called Jesus alot. I was also accosted by older women constantly, fawning over my hair and my resemblance to their favorite guy. They fucking loved it.

Old people when they see a gay person: 😡

Old people when I point a gun at them: 😫

Pretty sure the earliest depictions had him short haired and beardless. Took him a few centuries to grow his hair out.

Jesus ist a filthy hippie by todays standards, he would've gotten a baton to the face in the 60s/70s.

Also let's make short-haired white young adult professional Jesus a thing.
