How Hot Girls Became the Right's New Obsession
Newsweek ^ | Sep 29, 2024 | Marni Rose McFall

Posted on 10/03/2024 1:25:35 PM PDT by nickcarraway

In March, the 27-year-old actress hosted Saturday Night Live for the first time, wearing low-cut outfits during the start and close of the show, which featured a number of jokes about her physical appearance, including a sketch where she played a Hooters waitress.

SNL cast member Bowen Yang revealed in a recent episode of the Fly on the Wall podcast that the Euphoria star "was practically begging everybody" to make body-related jokes.

"She came in and was like, 'Please, everyone, make jokes about my boobs,'" he said.

At the time, Sweeney's appearance sparked much discourse and was lauded by a number of right-wing commentators as "the death of woke" (more on that later).

The actress had become a so-called conservative hot girlโ€”a pin-up for the modern day right-wing movement as it attempts to expand the appeal of conservatism beyond the confines of its largely older, white, male base.

Sweeney and other conservative hot girls don't necessarily have any tangible involvement with politics (though some have strong political affiliations), but they have been claimed by right-wing public figures as their own, whether they appear to like it or not.

The conservative hot girl "isn't a particularly new phenomenon," Victoria Cann, an associate professor at the University of East Anglia in the U.K., told Newsweek. "Women have been positioned through the lens of the masculinist imagery in conservative, populist politics for a very long time."

Sweeney appears to have kicked off the latest wave of conservative hot girls, at a time when conventional beauty standards have been adopted as a purported antidote to "wokeness." That word was initially associated with progressive movements but has since been co-opted by conservative critics to mock what they perceive as excessive political correctness, virtue signaling, or a tendency to overemphasize identity politics.

Men who are city-centric, perceived as less masculine than a normal guy. Is usually in an upper economic bracket or, at least, dresses like it. Gender preference comes across as vague.

This is just what I’ve gleaned. I think the old terms of dandy or fop are what they used to be called.
