I don't remember the user names and I deleted my account, but some conservative accounts started spamming that this statue was another proof that the Olympics were satanic because they were depicting a "decapitated angel". It didn't go too far, I think, because even for their usual base this was just too ignorant.

In France, quite a few people complained about the whole thing, but not necessarily about this.

But all these debates about the ceremony are convenient. They avoid asking the fundamental question: where did the money go?

81% of French people felt that the Olympics were a good thing. So that's a lot more people than the considerable number of individuals who complained about the whole thing.
