ding ding ding.
it's a hipster-chic makeover of the skinhead aesthetic & attitude. A marketable fascist for the modern era.
you're not a real lumberjack unless you shave your legs and wear high heels
Genunine question. Is that sketch considered problematic today? Because I remember thinking it was hilarious back in 2011, when my dad showed it to me, but I can definitely think of a few lines that wouldn't necessarily go down that easily today.
Are you talking about this look :yes-chad: ? Maybe this meme popularized it
Nah, the look was around before the meme. Richard Spencer, Gavin McInnes, and Stephen Yaxley Lennon all had it years ago. I believe it was directly inspired by Nazi propaganda as a kind of dog-whistle to other fascists.
Nah I was talking more about the hair. The beard is probably viking-inspired.
The beard is a reference to modern American SF. The guys who go in wearing baseball caps with all the fancy modern equipment and commit war crimes.
The beard is a signal of coolness because US military regulations require people be clean shaven so they can use gas masks effectively. So if a soldier has a beard, they are showing off how they get to break the rules because they are special. And they get to do so so regularly they can go long enough to grow out a full beard without getting told to shave.
Which leaks out as "what the cool SF guys look like". It's not a lumberjack thing, it's a fascist militarism thing.
yeah, i make sure to walk with a limp wrist so no one confuses me for a ... chud.
It's called an undercut. It happened to be fashionable when the Nazi's were around
undercuts aren't faded in with the top though, i thought? granted, the chuds do get the usual undercut which i've always associated with nazi enthusiast, rightly or wrongly.
The short haired, faded top with beard is essentially the look of lots of veterans when they get out. The popularity there probably spread into non-veteran communities.
As a blonde white guy with no beard, I have to be careful with my haircuts to avoid looking like a nazi.
Guys who are ashamed of their chins and want the fashy haircut
