I just don't get how the redneck rapist look came to be desirable...
Why are we associating haircuts with politics and rape??? 😭
Because redneckness is, apparently, political in your society :)
what? a moustache?
Isn't it more of a dad look (think Ned Flanders)? My father used to have a moustache, which IMO looked better than his cleanshaven face now.
IDK, it's probably highly culturally dependent. To me the mustache is stereotypical creepy redneck.
Ah yes, when i see Freddy Mercury or Magnum Pi, all i see is creepy redneck.
I'm guessing you're trying to be facetious, but yes that is absolutely what I see.
So you like the Donald Trump Elon Musk shaved look more?
Or a beard like definitely human Ted Cruz?
They're not really the stereotypical embodiment of clean shaven though...
I mean, yes they are. They're just ugly.
"stereotype" means "a solid copy" - as in a mold, plate or cast. The metaphor being that everyone who does or is XYZ came from the same manufacturing process and therefore is the same.
There is no stereotype of being clean shaven because you can't say "all people who shave are XYZ" and have it make sense.
Of course, redneck rapist. It’s not like the mustache has been one of the most popular facial hair styles in history…
Behold this list of “redneck rapists”:
Salvador Dali
Martin Luther King
Kaiser Wilhelm II
Mahatma Gandhi
Paul McCartney
Richard Wagner
Rudyard Kipling
George Orwell
Albert Einstein

It has always been for some of us who are into men. For me it's a 70s dirty porn stache not "redneck rapist".
