Sweeney has been blatantly courting a far-right audience, but of course that will backfire.

Has she?

I'm not really into celebrity worshipping but the little I know of her, she only did a jeans commercial that started all this. I doubt that the commercial was her idea, this was a marketing agency that came up with the idea, the concept, the things that should be said and she was hired as an actress to say it.

I've seen quite a few actors say or do things in commercials that they normally wouldn't do or say themselves

In not trying to defend her, I'm no fan, I just think (unless there is way more that I'm not aware of) that the hatred towards her is a little bit over the top

I think it's probably because she's been pictured partying with right-wingers at family gatherings and didn't even attempt to do damage control for the jeans ad until it was clear that boxing movie she did was bombing.

She's from the Idaho panhandle. There's a super high chance she's a closeted white supremacist.

Oof the panhandle has been the absolute haven for those cocksuckers for 40+ years.

I give her 5 more years tops till her credibility as a “Hollywood” actress runs out and she goes full right wing grifter.

What kind of plastic surgery do you think she will get thats going to duck up her looks?

I bet she gets cheek filler and that awful lip filler

Kindly consider that this type of comment exudes the exact kind of energy anti-trans people dish out in their criticisms.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Only if you think that trans people transition due to vanity. Otherwise it's a false equivalency.

[–] ieGod@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's affirmation for how they desire to look; dysmorphia. The reason is irrelevant.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

So you're saying being trans is a mental illness?

[–] ieGod@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You have completely misunderstood the point of my comment.

Body dysmorphia is a mental illness and you're saying that people getting plastic surgery to look younger and people getting surgery to affirm their gender are doing the same thing.

And I'm not disagreeing. I think that gender dysphoria is a subset of body dysmorphic disorder. It just happens that the treatment is hormones and corrective surgery. It's just not a take I expect to see on Lemmy.

Definitely, and bigger boobs. Never forget bigger boobs. She will end up looking like dawg the bounty hunters wife.
