I (32 F) like the look/vibe (love the flannel/plaid look especially). I also like how intimidating they can be. I’m not sure how I’d go about trying to find one, though.

I don’t really feel like redneck is the appropriate parallel. It just feels off.
Chavs and yobs would actively fight with rednecks.
Worst of the British urban population and worst of the American rural population. They wouldn’t xo exist
Yeah, a UK chav is more like a US white guy that acts and dresses like a black guy.
A bogan and a redneck are roughly equivalent, but a bogan and a hillbilly also works.
Nah but Chavs are illiterate and uneducated like rednecks just less country and more urban
I’m guessing you don’t know any rednecks.
You think lower class behavior = acting black?
Extremely problematic take.
I’m really surprised to see the vote ratios here. I mean, I assume the person you’re replying to isn’t actually a racist, but the association of black guys with being thugs definitely is.
I think you’re underestimating how many racists there are on here now.
Lemmy will upvote all kinds of vile shit as long as you’re polite about it
Check your biases.
I clearly meant that they adopted black culture in terms of mannerisms, dress, and speech.
You said doing so is the equivalent of a Chav which is defined by connotations of lower class.
Extremely problematic. Downright racist I’d say.
Where did they do this??
But why male models?
I think you’re the first one who used the phrase lower class behavior here. Which is kinda telling…
That’s the dictionary definition of Chav:
a young person of a type characterized by coarse and brash behavior (with connotations of low social status).
that’s a dictionary definition , top tier cherry picking though, congrats.
Note, this says “connotations of low social status.” The “urban black” culture usually has this same connotation. It isn’t a rule that people from either of these groups have low social status, it’s just associated with it. This is not racist, though the association could be viewed as problematic, but that is a cultural issue, not an issue with what the user above said.
They didn’t say urban. They said act and dress like a black guy. What do you think “acting and dressing like a black guy” means, exactly?
Sounds like you have an idea of what it means to you and are trying to foist that upon others.
The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
