That's a really old one

This is the modern Australia stereotype

>>79116118
Well I mean its on the tin isn't it

Intentionally constructed orientalisim of a constructed Australian identity in the 80's.

>>79116588
The 80's you say?

>>79116118
probably around the time crocodile Dundee came out you dumb brick

>>79116118
Are there not similarities between it and other Eurocolonial stereotypes, like American settlers and Boers? It's just the latest iteration of the colonial settler stereotype before cities, a comfy resouce based economy and technology castrated everyne

>>79116118
Hollywood, retard.

>>79116753
That's when crocodile Dundee came out so yeah.

The reality is that the Australian """identity""" is a very intentional pr move. Sad to say but every nation has its creation myth and certain parts of the national identity that are played up by the Government. What do you think is happening every ANZAC day? We are constructing a national identity

"Muh diggers"

Not "we were colonial trash to the Brits so they sent us on a suicide mission"

Its worth a look at how nationalism arose at the same time as conscription if you see what I'm saying

A lot of sterotypes are outdated.

Germans stopped wearing denim overalls decades ago.

Australian film

t. Grandad invested in it

>>79116814
But what are the first examples of hollywood doing it?

Also why did hollywood do it?

>>79116118
This >>79116786

The 'stereotype' was always there, it only came to be represented in media readily available to you guys in the 60s and 70s.

>>79116815
>we were colonial trash to the Brits so they sent us on a suicide mission

This is true?

>>79116838
You clueless cunt. Who do you think the film was made to appeal to?

Proof of this?

This is a photo of an Australian man in 1940.

>>79116874
>Crocodile Dundee (stylized as "Crocodile" Dundee in the U.S.) is a 1986 Australian-American comedy film

Also this is me>>79116588 Think we were trying to construct an identity to sell to ourselves?

>>79116872
Eh there's some gibberish about it being miscommunication but yeah we weren't seen as being on equal footing to the Brits back in the day

It seems to me that cities have never fitted the crocodile dundee stereotype.

Not even in the early 1900s.
