@Dagnar @Turkleton “Western”… yes. You know how we have all of these Hollywood movies and sitcom tropes where some dweeb ends up with the hot girl next door? They flooded India with that about White women loving Indian men, supposedly.

India was always rapey, but I have to wonder if Western advertising made them worse ..

@Dagnar Yeah Edward Bernays was a literal wizard of marketing. I saw some documentary thing about mass marketing a while back and there was a huge section on him

@Dagnar It really evolved into a weapon with social media. Nobody is safe from it. Especially when they think they are they seem to be just as affected by it. Every country pushes their own narrative through deception. USA, Russia, Israel, Iran, etc, etc

Yup. They pushed it for longer than I've been alive. "Hey look at this new truck .. with the mostly naked woman sprawled over the hood." "Try this new soda .. sipped by a woman's cock-holster." That's how they appeal to men. To women, they appeal with emotions and social acceptance. "You're ugly and unwanted, but if you buy this new cleaning product, your house will smell fresh and you will magically have friends and a man." It's all mind-fuckery, and jews like Bernays started it all.

Your eye is supposed to focus only on her, not the buildings. Another example of "sex sells" and they've played on the horny of so many people for so long it has become ingrained.

The subtext is "Listen to this and you will be able to fuck that woman"

@Dagnar @Turkleton The dark in tall dark and handsome meant mysterious when it was first used (1833). Prescriptivist gang wins every time at being justifiably racist.

You know, the more I think about it, the more I realize that old trope about the fortune teller promising a young woman a "tall dark and handsome" man that was around since the Gilded Age was merely prepping the soil for future migration and race-mixing.

@Dagnar @Turkleton First use of it was for a woman too. Tall, 3️⃣ , and handsome.

@BowsacNoodle @Dagnar @Turkleton I can't find where, but a few months ago I found a perfect example in a book from the late 1800s or early 1900s: a woman was described physically as "dark" (no mystery about her), but later on in the paragraph her skin was described as ivory or alabaster or something. Other details made it clear that the author intended the unqualified word "dark" to describe her hair and/or eyes.
