    With more European context you’ll realise this is about the alcohol health crisis that is spread a lot among men of that area.

    If you want a similar example, replace the man with an obese man and “slav” with “American”. A common comedy trope.

    Unfortunately people love brushing it off as a “funny stereotype” instead of realising “Wait dude these guys are victims of a health crisis”

      The first thing that jumped into my head was that meme about American couples where the couple is always Nice, Decently Attractive Woman Plus The Most Racist Man Alive. It’s the same dynamic.

      If the Slavic women aren’t drinking, thus making them all on average prettier than the men because drink makes you ugly, then I fear for what they are actually doing instead. Probably cocaine.
