      Right-wingers wrote an article making the case that because she had shown cleavage at a red carpet event it proved that “woke is dead”.

      No, I’m not exaggerating. They’re that stupid.

      That would be the surface read, yes. But if you come at it from the angle that anyone can be smart, you start to realize that it comes off more as an indictment of the rise of computer generated content in modern social media.

      And then you see that it’s actually fake AI generated doublespeak.

        It wouldn’t work if it was zizek or even Joe Rogan, but this well educated and intelligent woman saying it works? There is only one possible reason for that and it’s misogyny.

      its more a parody of all the clickbait and really absurd articles about some celebrities. i dont assume shes dumb because shes pretty, its funny because articles and posts like these would never actually have any insightful commentary, its irony

        Yeah, if that’s how you feel I’m glad but you must surely recognize that it plays into common sexist tropes to help create and signal that irony? Being naive of misogyny is almost as bad as supporting it, especially when you’re giving cover and matetial support to those working to further a misogynistic agenda.

        I’m not saying you’re a bad person at all I’m just saying that it’s often easy to assume ones own pure motives are how everyone views things but it’s rarely the case. Also it’s easy to have thinking boiled in that is easier to rationalize away than to confront and question.
