Added DiffLines:

* ''Film/ThreeHundred'': Played straighter than Leonidas' spear. Almost all of the Spartans and their Arcadian allies are strong, virile and masculine while their Persian enemies are portrayed as strange, decadent, effeminate and in some cases outright ''monstrous.'' With all of those qualities concentrated in King Xerxes' character, who looks and acts more like a villainous Creator/RuPaul than his historical counterpart. Needless to say, a lot of Iranians were not impressed by this film.

Sexualizing and fetishizing of Asian women


The so-called Orient: Stretching from {{UsefulNotes/Morocco}} to {{UsefulNotes/Japan}} and including everything in-between. Seen through classic European glasses as being one single entity - one of exotic mystery and adventure, where white men can display their superiority and masculinity over the decadent and feminized "orientals". Orientalism uses clichéd depictions of Eastern cultures that show it as both alluring and, at the same time as threatening.
