I think the fascists' fixation on Sydney Sweeney has less to do with the size of her breasts and more to do with her blonde hair and blue eyes. They're thrilled to have an Aryan sex symbol in the mainstream again. They've felt threatened by the suggestion that other types of people can be considered attractive as well.

They also seem to be reveling in the fact that western culture is still superficial and celebrates people for being hot, that physical attractiveness is seen as virtue. Because fascism is an ideology predicated on superficiality, appealing to the most shallow of basic human instincts, they need surface-level aestheticism to peddle their rotten ideas.


Now, let me address the two big elephants in the room. I said I wasn't gonna talk about her boobs but they're not entirely irrelevant to the discussion. Skinny women with big tits represent the mainstream ideal of what straight men like, and fascists want to assert that what straight men like is what's right and true. The cis-hetero male-dominated beauty standard is the only one that should exist in their minds.

In reality, people (straight men included) like all sorts of bodies. But fascists don't like variety and diversity, they want a singular standard for society to adhere to. They want to reduce the complex and subjective experience of being human into something simple, a lie that's easy to understand.

something important I forgot to mention is that the blonde-haired blue-eyed "all-American girl" archetype in media always seems to be most prevalent at times when the U.S. is at its most conservative - in the post-war segregationist 1950s, the Reagan-era 80s, and the post-9/11 early 00s. and here we are again, in the Trump-Biden era where the U.S. is financing a racist genocide of Palestinians

It's fascinating to see it come from random internet sources instead of like, popular mainstream movies or some shit. Changing media landscape. I feel like this could also be tied to those "WHEN UR MEAN TO THE IDF THIS IS WHO UR MEAN TO" tiktoks that feature the most straight western beauty standards-matching women ever.

[–] AlicePraxis@hexbear.net 25 points 7 months ago (1 children)

yeah there's also been a huge increase in weird fetishism of Ukrainian women in response to the Russian invasion. sick behavior

"These women will DIE FOR RHODESIA" type beat!

I've been horny enough to let better judgment slip but I've never been horny enough to mail some PO box I read in the back of soldier of fortune magazine.

[–] MaoTheLawn@hexbear.net 6 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

I actually bought some old issues of those magazines recently and I've found some interesting stuff - it's documentation of all sorts of terrible mercenary exploits and special forces exploits, spoken of with pride and great detail.

On further research I found that the magazine has actually been prosecuted before for leaking classified details around mercenary advertisements.

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 6 points 7 months ago

I guess those WarThunder nerds leaking shit to win forum arguments has precedence, I'll be damned

[–] Jimmycrackcrack@lemmy.ml 17 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Hmm, but is there a period between each of those times when they weren't funding a genocide here or taking a police action there or a full scale invasion elsewhere that you can identify different cultural beauty standards? It's kind of hard to separate.

[–] AlicePraxis@hexbear.net 12 points 7 months ago

you're right, it's not that the USA ever stopped being fascist but I think those time periods are when the general public was at its most reactionary and jingoistic and when these attitudes were reflected in mass media

death of the artist says this post is about her boobs if I perceive it to be smuglord

[–] AlicePraxis@hexbear.net 51 points 7 months ago (2 children)

tbf the paragraph about boobs kinda turned out longer than the others, so that's valid

I wanted to fit the word boobermensch in there somewhere but I feared it would detract from the point

[–] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 27 points 7 months ago

i think boobermensch is very good and also this post is good

i was just being silly

[–] D61@hexbear.net 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

[–] 2Password2Remember@hexbear.net 18 points 7 months ago (1 children)

journalist: so ms tits, er, i mean, ms sweeney, what do you make of the recent [insert insane right wing culture war fixation here] controversy?

sidney sweeney: i'm sorry i'm not really familiar with the details of that situation

Death to America

I don't think twelve year olds should be forced to give birth.

SYDNEY SWEENEY GOES WOKE! FORMER FANS DEMAND APOLOGY AND RITUAL SUICIDE!

[–] trabpukcip@hexbear.net 31 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Really good post. Ok now find a way to put these arguments as text in pictures of her so it's easy to spread around

[–] AlicePraxis@hexbear.net 18 points 7 months ago

if someone wants to steal anything from this post for a tiktok meme or something then be my guest lol

this topic could make for a halfway-decent video essay but I don't like the sound of my voice

[–] Feinsteins_Ghost@hexbear.net 29 points 7 months ago

sydney sweetie is just the big tiddie non-goth gf they all long for i guess.

[–] Des@hexbear.net 26 points 7 months ago (1 children)

excellent post! it seems so obvious now but i just never saw it

[–] AlicePraxis@hexbear.net 21 points 7 months ago

thanks, this has been on my mind for a while because I felt like a lot of people were missing this point. and well, I can think of two big reasons why ;)

[–] AlicePraxis@hexbear.net 21 points 7 months ago

thank you it is my first good post on this website

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 24 points 7 months ago (2 children)

IIRC, immediately after this discourse started, she took an acting job they instantly got bent out of shape about, right? Some Exorcist type movie?

[–] AlicePraxis@hexbear.net 25 points 7 months ago (1 children)

she's in some spooky nun movie that just came out, so I guess that's it. seems pretty tame but it doesn't take much to annoy these freaks

wait till they find out that her big break was in a show that had a trans main character in it

[–] SSJ2Marx@hexbear.net 8 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

The movie is called Immaculate, and she wasn't just the lead actress she was also a producer, and oh boy the ending to that film is not something right wingers would be happy about lmao.

CW SA, InfanticideSweeney's character goes to a convent where she is forcibly impregnated with a clone of Jesus. She spends the whole film escaping, and at the end gives birth to the clone and kills it with a rock. It's an incredibly obvious allegory for abortion, with one scene in particular hitting the nail directly on the head when she asks to see a doctor and gets denied.

Oh, right. I forgot that her ample bosom is killing wokeness too.

[–] AlicePraxis@hexbear.net 25 points 7 months ago (3 children)

the "big boobs are anti-woke" thing was so stupid that I didn't even want to address it. but like, why do chuds think they have a monopoly on liking big boobs? I see the "big tiddy goth gf" meme on this communist-ass website all the time

[–] CascadeOfLight@hexbear.net 15 points 7 months ago

I was thinking about this and also those big charts of 'conservativecore' films and video games and it's literally just whatever the person making the chart likes, because as you said the crucial thing is superficiality: there is no underlying reason or rational basis for their worldview or aesthetics, all they can do is take a thing that they personally think is good (based on whatever their arbitrary tastes are) and then claim that thing is the enlightened pinnacle of human culture - and that [whatever it is] needs to be defended from the woke hordes who MUST be desperate to destroy it because it's good, and their enemies simply hate things that are good, for no reason, because they're evil.

So they both assume they have a monopoly on liking any random thing that large numbers of people are likely to enjoy, AND they gloat about how conservative society's tastes supposedly are, not because of the ideological dominance of capitalist rhetoric in all forms of media due to bourgeoise control of the means of production, but because other people like the same things that they like!

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 13 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

the "big boobs are anti-woke" thing

Are they still going along with this one? It feels like it's died down a bit. Very short-lived fixation.

but scarlett johansson exists...

oh... did not think of that.

[–] JohnBrownNote@hexbear.net 10 points 7 months ago

i heard on here in another sweeny post that she lost weight or had a reduction.

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 13 points 7 months ago

It’s pretty obvious what it’s about. They think the left only wants to promote ugly women and shame all straight white women that are conventionally attractive in the name of wokeness. So Sydney to them is defying all odds by being all those things and attractive.

Her body type has been considered the attractive standard since forever and probably won’t be changing for the foreseeable future either. Right-wingers always act like norms that have existed and continued to will come to a sudden halt because of body positivity movements.

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 8 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

This is quickly becoming like reddit and the Kardashians.

Everything I have ever seen or heard about Sydney Sweeney has been against my will and has come from this website.

[–] hollowmines@hexbear.net 3 points 7 months ago

I couldn't convince anyone to go see Immaculate with me but it looks fun. It's interesting that she backed it as a passion project.
