| Topic | does the proliferation and normalization of that aryan dude meme concern anyone |

Not familiar with it, which seems like a good thing You know that side-profile picture of a dude with a dark blond beard going "Yes" in what basically amounts to modern rage comics? Usually paired with the "tradwife" who's gone on to appear in other memes, like a bright and sunny character enabling the ongoing hell of an essential worker? The side-profile picture is from a YouTuber who talks up Aryan ideals and tends to talk Jewish people down as sneaky, distrustful and bad. The "Yes" image and the tradwife character stemmed from a bunch of delusional, unfunny memes where the guy basically appropriated the rage comic format to play out some blockhead power fantasy. His fanbase took the images and started making their own - to make fun of how shitty and cringe it was, to my understanding - and the images entered the wider meme vernacular. Tradwife stuff actually took hold in communities like Twitter and Tumblr, where it started to cosy up with cottagecore and stuff like that. So basically, the "Yes" meme and tradwife both come from a dude expressing white supremacist viewpoints, doing his best to dance around the term itself and frame it in more palatable terms, but basically espousing the same viewpoints of blond, strong Aryan ideal = good, while being persistently skeptical of Jewish people. Actually, hold on - I think I might be wrong on this. Give me a sec to go over this again. --- Are you proud to be a Mayonnaise American? ... Copied to Clipboard! |
