The “White man with blond hair and blue eyes” originated as an “Aryan Superior Race” type of thing on like. 4Chan or something. ok, if that’s true, that doesnt change the fact literally *nobody* uses it like that at all. i’m not going to bother scraping through the internet to personally find examples, but here is a page explaining Nordic Gamer’s history and common use. it was made and used for racist purposes, and it’s absolutely something white supremacists and nazis co-opt. you just don’t blog where you see it happening. Very closely related: the blue-eyed, blonde-haired girl meme.Why Is Everybody Suddenly Sharing These Alt-Right Memes? Source [image description:first image: a meme showing people pointing to the nordic gamer, a cartoon drawing of a blond man with blue eyes. the meme is captioned “i’ve had enough of this nazi meme.”second image: tweets from j3wess saying “so first, why is it problematic to use antisemitic memes? they’re not antisemitic if i’m not using them with antisemitic intentions, right? wrong! the memes are originally being used as dog whistles by antisemites and when you normalize the usage of them, it’s harder for jewish people to detect when they’re being used with harmful intent and effectively inflate the sense of community for nazis by spreading their imagery.”end description] -- source link
