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)

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.

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 college high school

I 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.

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.”

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”
