Signification
To agree without questioning.
Contexte culturel
In Turkey, 'Söz senettir' (One's word is a bond). Accepting something 'gözü kapalı' is a way to honor this tradition, showing that the relationship is more important than the fine print. Obedience to elders (especially parents) is often expressed through this phrase. It's seen as a sign of 'hayırlı evlat' (a good/blessed child) to accept a parent's advice without question. Similar to other Mediterranean cultures, trust is built over long periods of social interaction (tea, meals, shared history). Once that trust is built, 'gözü kapalı' becomes the standard mode of interaction. On Turkish social media, influencers use this phrase to promote products they 'truly believe in,' telling followers they can buy it 'gözü kapalı.'
Use it as a compliment
Telling someone 'Senin her teklifini gözü kapalı kabul ederim' is one of the highest forms of praise for their character.
Don't use for physical blindness
This is strictly for figurative trust. For a person who cannot see, use 'görme engelli'.

No, it almost always implies a positive or willing acceptance based on trust or value.
You could say 'ince eleyip sık dokumak' (to scrutinize very carefully) or 'şüpheyle yaklaşmak' (to approach with suspicion).
Not necessarily. You can also accept a 'deal' or 'offer' gözü kapalı if the value is undeniably high.
