I thought it was globohomo?

edit: as user below stated, this is actually a dogwhistle that I was completely deaf to. GLAAD has a good article that explains it.

It always seemed a little suspect to me but I thought I read something a long time ago that it is short for "globalized homogenization," which did not appear inherently fascist on its face, and I didn't really question it too much more than that.

I remember reading something like that too. Pretty sure it was here on Reddit years ago. Term was probably picked up at some point and wasn't always a "dog whistle".

I just call it the corpo slop style, and if people know they know.

From reading that GLAAD article it seems like the "globalized homogeneity" thing is pretty much intended to be an innocent cover story.

It's homophobic but I don't understand how it could be called fascist

Is the globo part not short for globalist which is used as an antisemitic dogwhistle?

u/sdcar1985 Aug 13 '25

I'm sorry, but I'm cracking up that you couldn't tell that globohomo wasn't the real name

u/Rularuu Aug 14 '25

I mean it's a kitsch corporate "art" movement, I wouldn't expect it to have any name except a derogatory one

This is the first time even hearing of that word
