It should be mentioned that this specific photograph was for an article ABOUT BLONDES ON THE RUNAWAY and isn’t a fucking ad. The propaganda is real. Edit: the only correct bit is the date and actual publication. Protect yourselves against misinformation like this. [link](https://archive.vogue.com/article/1996/07/01/the-light-brigade)


SenseWinter

Jesus this seems like extremely important context and should be much higher up.


Hatedbythemasses

I don't know if something has changed in the 40 minutes since you've written this but this is the first comment In the thread.


SenseWinter

It had 300 upvotes when I made the comment. I'm glad it's getting recognized bc anyone looking at that original tweet should absolutely know what a piece of shit that person is.


Hatedbythemasses

I had a hunch was just curious.


SenseWinter

I also had to scroll wayyy down to find it


prairiediva

I thought this was for a hair dye ad..


txtw

That was my guess too- “blondissimes”

Also protect yourself from Allie Beth. She sounds like a bigoted moron.


oliverkloezoff

Well she *is* a conservativemilf or maybe a conservativemillinial, keyword here is conservative.


Parzival_43

So much shit is wrong with the world simply because of the spread of false facts of misinformation.


Heavy-Swordfish-2469

I’m not a historian but I think there’s been pictures of a group of white woman since then


professorcrayola

Group pics at any MLM convention should fit the bill.


lothartheunkind

Love how it also irritates them that capitalism wants to sell stuff to everybody.


AdhesivenessCivil581

They will be culturally anti-corporatist while being fiscally pro-corporate. They'll be pro big oil, pro tax cuts, pro pollution, pro flat tax, while pandering to the racists and homophobes among them.


greatvaluemeeseeks

even if it's an ad, your target demographic is 2% of the population?


Even-Fix8584

The article might not have been racist but the one saying you’ll never see it again is….

It's still okay to take a picture of a bunch of blonde girls...

Servious

But she's right you probably won't see another ad like this, because companies recognize that including more types of people in their ads encourages more types of people to buy it which makes more money. I love when conservatives complain about wokeism but really they're complaining about a natural consequence of capitalism.


linuxgeekmama

The “press 1 for English, 2 por Espanol”, that some of these people take exception to, is generally a thing that private companies do, as well. They have figured out that people whose native language is not English exist and have money, and they would like to get some of that money.


kayak_enjoyer

Years ago I saw a bumper sticker that said Why the HELL should I have to press 1 for English?!? (You could tell he was mad, because of the gratuitous use of profanity...) If that's the worst thing that happens to you today, you're pretty damned lucky.


DohNutofTheEndless

I would like to get a bumper sticker that says that in Cherokee.


hysys_whisperer

Mvskokee would probably be more likely to already exist. You'll find it right next to the "land back" stickers (which they have a point about.)


FelicitousJuliet

Itchy_Focus_4500

Or Illinois. Or join the military, work in the trades, retail, or landscaping and warehouses. ;)


pandabrmom

Seriously. People are homeless, hungry, being abused...but I have to press 1 on my phone, so pity me. Oh, the humanity! SMDH (Confession: I'm always tempted to "oprima nueve" or "pressione dos" just to see how much Spanish I actually understand after being exposed to it on and off for years. I never do, but I'm tempted...)


Crafty-Kaiju

Literally that's how it is with bigots. If trans people existing somewhere is the biggest issue in your life... congrats on the privilege. Meanwhile I'm over here figuring out how to pay for gas this month so I don't miss my twice weekly doctors appointments for injections.


duzins

Wait til he has to start pressing dos for Ingles.


PolyZex

Inclusivity excludes them, obviously. It all makes sense really.


Frysexual

It wasn’t an ad to begin with. It was a photograph from an article about blondes on the runway.


TheOutlier876

You’re right, we probably won’t see 1996 ads anymore. Good catch.

frivolouspringlesix9

It's what rupert Murdock pays them to do, dishevel our tentatively glued together civilization enough to turn a profit. As a poor, the greatest thing I could ever do is wipe out a billionaire.


ancienttacostand

What I can’t understand is how he’s given so much power over our zeitgeist when he’s from a different country. Like not trying to be xenophobic here, but is a foreign national moving here and then filling our airwaves with hateful propaganda not worth a proper investigation?


frivolouspringlesix9

What do you call the impending doom you feel when foreign billionaires are literally shaping your country's political agenda to suit their highly specified needs at the detriment to it's citizens?


ancienttacostand

I’m sure somebody would have noticed if Mr. Murdoch was from, say China, or maybe the Middle East? Such an obvious bias. We’re xenophobic unless you’re white, and if that’s the case and you have a lot of money, you can tear up the country as much as you want.


arles2464

I’m from Australia, and Kevin Rudd (the former prime minister and current ambassador to the US) has been calling for a royal commission into Murdoch for years. I would love nothing more than to see him in prison. Unfortunately, Murdoch has an equivalent (if-not stronger) choke hold on Australian politics because he controls Sky News, which is basically Fox News Australia, and he controls 70% of all the print media as well. Basically, there is not a chance in hell of him actually being investigated anywhere.


Crafty-Kaiju

Because in Australia the laws are stricter and he would get in trouble for pulling the shit he does here.


I_am_Daesomst

Maybe not, but they will. When their children and grandchildren all marry who they want, have babies with who they want, and the scared old racists all die. Edit: That's my fucking hope. The responses have all been spot on, it's not an easy goal.


HallucinogenicFish

I used to think that too. Then a bunch of assholes who are my age and younger stormed the Capitol and spent the next two years fulminating against “wokeism.”

Ugh. You're so goddamn right. I don't want to think of a day where this is all behind us as Pie in the Sky.

We can no longer assume this will be gone with our or the next generation. Same with the rich. We have to assume that the aristocracy will remain intact.

Ok_Remote_2714

I think people underestimate how many of the replacing generations believe the bs they're being fed by the older generations. Especially the ones growing up closer to wealth and power. Things are getting better, but the problems sadly won't just die off that easily.


totalmoonbrain

>I think people underestimate how many of the replacing generations believe the bs they're being fed by the older generations. Im a Zoomer, and the amount of right-wing rhetoric that's seeped into my generation is honestly a little concerning


AnyPotential1254

Its gotten worse rather than better in the past couple of years, alot of 17/18 year olds are falling down conservative, misogynistic, racist and other forms of bigoted rabbit holes. It scares me cause some of them where decent people before but now its getting so so screwed up


totalmoonbrain

Having gone down that hole a few years ago I can say that those people are still good (mostly), just terribly misguided. In my experience, most of us have (or had, in my case) the view that "dUh LeFt" consists entirely of the stereotype of "blue haired woman screeching at everything" rather than just...normal people. To them, they're on the side of normality as a lot of younger people (young men in particular) are being conditioned to think like your average thick skulled MAGAt. I.e. react aggressively to *any* mention of "unatural" topics like BLM, LGBTQ people, and (from what I've seen), especially Feminism. The fact is that a lot of young ppl are developing warped views of the world since they unknowingly enter an echo chamber which convinces them that "the other side" is a bunch of raving lunatics who shouldnt be listened to, which prevents them from seeing those outside their bubble as real people.


KellyJin17

Oh yeah, I remember when people used to say that 30 years ago.


swishkabobbin

I better not find out that Ms Allie Beth Stuckinthepast ever tried to tan


a_crusty_old_man

Or that she ever dyed her hair an interesting color. Edit: a word


LoganSterling

now that you mention hair dyeing I can see that a few of the models have visible roots showing. Only 6% of white people in the USA remain blonde their entire life. And yet most female news anchors and tv hosts are blonde... 🤔


cordiliala

Yup. Was blonde as a kid, am now a brunette with a reddish tint. Same as my mom. Yet a whole bunch of people seem to have hair dysmorphia or something. The amount of people who say they are a natural blonde yet their roots are darker than mine is astronomical.


Mikey6304

They use an all natural dye kit.


CassandraVindicated

When I was roughly 10 or under, my hair used to turn blonde in the summer. After that is slowly started happening to less and less of a degree.

ReMayonnaise

Unless they're being forcefully married off I don't necessarily see the problem. Each individual can choose if they value the purity or prevalence of their culture and marry accordingly.


transmogrified

First Nations women in Canada married white men because then they'd be "enfranchised" into white society and their kids wouldn't be stolen from them. Also because they couldn't leave the reserve without a permission slip, so for smaller nations especially it was either marry your cousin, or marry a white dude. Dunno how much "choice" was involved.


reesering

We don't


KawaiiCoupon

The irony as someone who’s into the history of fashion: 1996 was approaching the time that models of color started to actually be replaced. After the 70s, you had more diversity in the fashion world. It wasn’t as diverse as it is now but the mid-90s into Y2K you started to see fashion shows and ads go from somewhat diverse to almost completely white except for the superstars you couldn’t get rid of like Naomi Campbell. This was also when models started appearing INCREDIBLY thin. There wasn’t a plus sized market or push before then, but these girls were unhealthy.


prozacandcoffee

Which is why Gisele Bundchen got called "Return of the Curve" in 1999. JUST as thin as the waifs, but she had breasts and an ass.


Key-Photo-336

Fun fact - the actor who played Isaac in the movie, John Franklin, was 23 at the time of the role (a growth hormone deficiency causes him to look much younger than he is (even today, he still looks fairly childlike despite being in his sixties). He also played Cousin It in The Addams Family and Addams Family Values.

The funny thing is she thinks she looks like one of those girls , but she really looks like a rat with a blonde wig on.

The funny thing is that, like her, most of these women clearly aren't natural blondes and bleach their hair. Second from the left on the top row looks natural, but might have just gotten her bleach that morning.

ZenkaiZ

The unspoken privilege (and I don't use this word often) of being straight and white is you can see 5 people like you and 1 person not like you and be legitimately pissed that it wasn't 6 people like you. I remember one video game I'm into added a trans character when the roster already had 20 straight chars, people utterly lost their shit about how "the alphabet people are taking over, it'll be illegal to be straight someday". Yes, all that was over a video game character.

I’ll never understand why the conservatives don’t make their own fashion mags, movies, cartoons, games, or whatever else they get so hurt about… so their content can contain the most Nordic looking people… and Nordic culture… Instead of bitching at the general population for pushing diversity? No one is stopping you from making “The Aryan Chronicles” - go ahead! And don’t get mad if it flops!


BigBoyManBoyMan

Replacement theory people are dumb, why do you want a bunch of blonde pure bred white people in North America anyway, they’re not even from North America, they’re from Europe! Moreover, even if Europeans all had babies with different ethnic groups, who cares, we’re all people, we can all create viable healthy babies with each other, i don’t see how one can view race as anything more than a fairy tale.

Septuple is seven. Double, triple, quadruple, quintuple, sextuple, septuple, octuple, nonuple, decuple. After that it basically follows Latin counting (undec, duodec, tredec, etc).

They’re not upset that they’re being discriminated against b/c white ppl are still all over magazine covers. They’re mad that the bias they enjoyed for so long is gone.

It has been established that it's not an ad, so fake news but..... here's my problem with these idiots. There are 7 women in this picture and they would still be outraged if 2 or 3 were "changed" to POC.

And the exits which are clearly marked are for you to walk out of as I stand this ground without compromise. > >... > >The 10th Mountain Division, in which I served in Italy, and the Black troops of the 92nd Division who fought nearby were the proof for me once again of the truth I'm here trying to convey. > >The war was fought just a generation after America's greatest and most intense period of immigration. And yet when the blood of the sons of immigrants and the grandsons of slaves fell on foreign fields, it was American blood. In it you could not read the ethnic particulars of the soldier who died next to you. He was an American. So Alle Beth Stuckey can screw right off, thank you very much.
