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