no, they can't. racism is an ideological framework they process literally everything through. even stuff seemingly unrelated, you put a hardcore racist in a math class and subsequently tell them the math they're learning was made by a black person it'll bother them
as an aside white people have by far the most neanderthal dna so if you're into white people that's a, actual neanderthal fetish :debate-me-debate-me: i mean look at ron perlman yo
Whenever I've seen neanderthals used by racists it's by people using their DNA as a justification for European superiority. The idea is that they were the original white people, and they got out-bred by Homo Sapiens, in a prehistoric version of white replacement.
I'm sure I've seen a couple examples of chuds using neanderthal DNA as proof that they're genuinely a different species from the rest of the planet.
Asians have even more Neanderthal DNA than whites, plus a small fraction of Denisovan (the sister clade of neanderthals which built insanely advanced stone jewelry)
i had no idea ron perlman was jewish, he played a neanderthal in a quest for fire lol
idk how Quest For Fire ever got made. "Let's make a movie based on at this time up to date archeology and anthropology on ancient humans about three dudes going on a road trip to borrow a lighter."
Supposedly the scene where the guy taught them how to use a bow-drill firestarter took hours to film because some times it just takes hours to get a bow drill going properly, even if you're good at it.
My understanding is that it was considered pretty good for the time it was made, but science marches on.
And yeah, various content warnings, definitely read a summary before you watch it.
no way archaeologists thought cavepeople kept perpetual fires going & didn't know how to light stuff themselves, did they? i thought that part was so ridiculous
also the sex stuff was icky
For a while, yeah.fire was probably discovered as being useful before we knew how to start one. We probably figured out how to move and maintain a fire before learning to start one from scratch.
Yar. It's kind of hard to imagine someone figuring out a bow-drill before they figured out "I can just grab a burning stick from this wild fire and keep the coals alive indefinitely".
But who knows? It's all speculation, maybe they did. You rub things together, they get warm, fire is warm, people are smart. Anything is possible.
Is that the one where the female lead gets raped over and over? Might want to put a content warning and spoiler tag on that.
I'm tired of high schoolers being played by smokeshows nearly twice the age of their character. Give me fricked up uncanny child-looking trash heaps with body proportions ravaged by puberty. Aka what 95% of people look like in
collegehigh schoolI guess at that point you can't have them :awooga: then which is a deal breaker for HBO and the like
having mid 20s adults playing highschool kids reinforces :libertarian-approaching: ideas
no it doesn't. there is nothing inherent to telling a story about younger people with older actors that necessarily sexualises or justifies sexualisation.
some films certainly sexualize highschoolers and employ older performers to do that---the problem there is the work sexualizing them. no one decreed high school stories have to do that.
no one decreed high school stories have to do that
To some extent, both the producers and much of the audience did. :kombucha-disgust:
if that's the case i prefer adults be put in the producer-mandated sexualization over teens then
It also gives a veneer of acceptability for sexually objectifying high schoolers on screen: "These are actually full adults playing high schoolers, so it's okay for the camera and the audience to emphasize how :awooga: these high school characters are and how much le sexy sex they're having with titillating cinematic emphasis to get the audience off."
Idk if it's a real trend or just bias but it seems like there are a lot fewer normal looking people in shows and movies now.
Maybe? I keep going back and forth in my head. I'm pretty sure that beautiful people have always dominated the screen overall. Even the awkward "nerdy" characters in most of the shows I can think of from years back were all just gorgeous humans in semi unflattering clothes and makeup (if even that).
Edit: Like take Alyson Hannigan as an example. She was always a smokeshow but she was also like the go to "awkward girl next door" actress.
Derry Girls does a fantastic job of this. All the actors are late 20s/early 30s but they did great work with the costumes and makeup. It actually feels like a high school
Most importantly, I think, is that the characters are awkward as fuck, dumbass teenagers. You know who else was an awkward as fuck, dumbass teenager? Everyone!
Reminds me of PEN15, the main characters are adults acting as tweens surrounded by actual tweens but apart from wardrobe and mannerisms they don't try to hide it. Wraps back around to being endearing
Fellas, is it gay to find attractive women beautiful? Let me get the calipers.
roflmao at the choice of photos, very fair
Here is person A passed out drunk at a concert venue bathroom covered in the kebab they threw up
Here is a glamour shot of person B with movie lighting, makeup and costuming
Conclusion: PERSON A IS A FUCKIN UGGO
These are the kind of people so estranged from make up, lighting, and angles that they might not have noticed the two photos. Like they really, really wanted to highlight the different noses. The same way there's only going to be one whiteness until one person is left holding a gun to the other, the way they determine it will have to be standardized "no makeup, overhead lighting, naked, fox only, no items, final destination, front+side profile."
this black girl looks like a neanderthal
wypipo have more neanderthal ancestrysweating_mayo_choosing__red_buttons.jpg
Some of the racists definitely went down the path of "actually the neanterthals had bigger brains they were basically the aryans brought down by judeo-sapiens race mixing schemes, the lower neanderthal stock is why the non-european haplogroups are inferior"
Fascist margins of acceptability for pretty much everything get narrower constantly. The entire ideology requires constant purges and struggles, including in their own ranks.
Ever seen :freeze-gamer: accuse each other of being "cucks" and/or "numales" and/or "asking their wife's boyfriend" for whatever? That's a facet of that.
No way, Sydney Sweeney looks the most "a bit bonked on the head" of the two, and I mean that as a complement.
Obviously extremely wrong and extremely racist, but also kink-shaming people with neanderthal fetishes
Yeah, any judgement of their attractiveness aside (in which there is must humor in absurdity to be found) is there some moral imperative to not like neanderthals? It's like that picture of the monk praying as two women shake their asses at him.
I'm seeing this show described as a "dark, gritty teen drama" so like, it's Skins?
Just based off of the picture on the left I assumed it was some post apocalyptic show and she's a tribal priestess.
Sure but that’s all they do. Coke, weed, sex, party, fight, abuse. Then the next day they show up to class just fine, apparently with homework done because they never get an earful from the teachers or principals about academic probation, not that you’ll see them doing any school work
My sister watches this show non-ironically, in between bouts of rewatching gossip girl and gilmore girls.
:ohnoes: I never watched the American version, just heard things.
:scared: wait theres actual american skins i was just agreeing with the premise :hillary-disgust:
fwiw euphoria has higher production value and is subjectively a bit better than og skins imo but its the same vibe/genre
MTV did a remake like a decade ago that lasted one season I think.

It’s dumb as shit. There’s like a whole arc where this high school girl - again, played by an adult - becomes a cam girl on pornhub (registered trademark) and starts financially dominating random fat guys with small dicks
All they do is smoke weed, have sex, charge they iPhones, be bisexual, and eat hot chip and lie
I’m not gonna say “rich people don’t have drug addiction and trauma,” but it just so happens that every single fucking one of them is fucked up somehow and the only “normal” characters are considered boring
