I think it’s a popularity drive, they are trying to psychologically short circuit people: hey you, you like tits? so do we, sadly the woke crowd do not, tut tut

similar to how advertisers describe their cereal as crunchy in order to imply that their competitor’s cereal is not also crunchy

So here’s the thing as I see it: conservatives have/(I argue) had lightning in their hands with memes about avoiding taxes. That shit is funny as fuck. Evading the IRS agent, capsizing your boat, etc. are all a really good playing field to get people to warm up to your side. I don’t think they did a good job making sure that stayed in the zeitgeist because it’s so much easier to think of conservatives as people who don’t like woke things. So instead of seeing them desparados and cowboys, you see a black person in media, roll your eyes, and think “my weird uncle would hate this.” Bringing the taxes back up probably has diminishing returns because now it just looks like another bid to get you to dislike shit.

Now you have another battlefield where there’s a “national divorce” where, by some stroke of luck, the left ended up with beer, football, and tomboys ( ). However, the idea is that the right got boobs in the divorce. So now you have a chance, as a conservative memer, to go “oh my god, the right likes to princess carry and look down at the boobs, the left likes to be princess carried.” Unfortunately, you as a conservative, are not normal about women and instead like to get into diatribes defining womanhood (but DEFINITELY not gender expression). The main thrust at the moment is going to be talking about BODACIOUS ta-tas and how 1950s coded this woman is. Oh my god she’s so bubbly and no other woman in my life acts bubbly. You can never be the party where women are free to express themselves because, frankly, you’re the people who want to have a say in their healthcare. You would rather the single family unit be the main building block of society (you’re not even the party of the clan). At best you’re Colby Covington with paid models, but Megan Thee Stallion is never going to be scantily clad for freedom the way she is for anime.

So even if it could work and you could have a fierce competitor for national popularity, you won’t. They’re not cool. They can never be cool. Even country music was cooler before conservatives got ahold of it.

None of this makes any sense, and what’s annoying is this American culture war nonsense spreads to my country relatively quickly, it’s incomprehensible.

I don’t disagree with you, but my gut instinct for why they’ve latched onto the imagery of a big breasted blonde woman is pure transphobia. They’re trying to purport women like Sweeney represent a cosmic ideal of womanhood and that anyone trans (man/woman/otherwise) will fail to meet her innate level somehow.

They’re trying to circle the wagons on aesthetics I guess. They’re getting weird about it, saying their preferences are universally and biologically ingrained.

Or my other suspicion is that a lot of reactionaries are closet bi/gay and are using the abstract ideal of Sydney Sweeney to hide how gay they are? I don’t know. We’ve gotten into weird territory.
