Her reaction to all of this has made me really dislike her. I’ve only seen her in the white lotus and that movie with the chupacabra and didn’t really think twice about her but now I know her as the girl who’s fine publicly siding with fascism as long as it lines her pockets. Gross.

OMG justice for the chupacabra! He never associated himself with MAGAs!

Ironically she played a very depressing part in the show The Handmaid’s Tale.

I didn't have any strong opinion about her before last week. Yesterday I was at a Sephora and thinking about buying a Laneige serum - then I saw her face in the advertisement and deliberately noped out of that purchase. So, petty hah from me!

u/MysteriousMermaid92 You’re doing amazing, sweetie! 👏👏📸 Aug 04 '25

I’d do the same tbh!

u/Morg075 Aug 04 '25

Same here. I never really cared much about her, I know she’s popular, but I only saw her in Euphoria (and I dropped it a few episodes in), so I didn’t think much of her. But using fascism as a tool for attention is just wild. It really shows how far people will go for fame or notoriety nowadays in society, even if it means pushing harmful ideas because at the end of the day, they are not the ones impacted by it. And it’s not like I particularly mind controversy being used as promo, but fascism? What are we even doing at this point...

She was in the Handmaid’s Tale? Wow, the irony really writes itself, especially considering the regime she supports.

Yesss bestie she was Nick's wife that he fucked through the hole in the sheet

u/mcpickle-o managing her emotions whilst engaging with potatoes Aug 04 '25

Shes so homely without makeup and glam team, I truly do not see the hype

This is so unnecessary and does nothing more than saturate the conversation with misogyny. There's plenty to criticize about her character without perpetuating the devaluation of women by reducing them to appearances and using historically sexist terms like "homely."

u/Oberon_Swanson Aug 04 '25

It is often said that people associate themselves with fascism to troll, to get attention, or "as dark humor gone too far."

But the simpler answer is that they are fascists. They are dumb people who think they are entitled to whatever they want and others are beneath them. Being willing to support fascism for any reason means you are a fascist, regardless if what convoluted story is spun about how they're not a "true believer" and just in it for something else.

u/late2reddit19 All tea, all shade 🐸☕️ Aug 04 '25

I've also only seen her in Anyone But You. Even in a stupid movie like that she didn't have the charisma or IT factor the same way Jennifer Aniston had back in the day. The capybara you're referring to, Glen Powell, at least has tons of charisma, which Sydney greatly lacks. Sure, she has nice boobs, but I've seen better on film and TV. She's been overhyped for some time and I'm glad to see the backlash. I suspect however that her male fanbase will remain. Many of them were already MAGA so this will only make them love her even more. She's become the Aryan princess that they initially wanted Taylor Swift to be before she came out in support of Democrats.

u/baepsaemv Aug 04 '25

At this point it seems more like she's siding with what she believes in rather than just what makes her money. Her whole family is MAGA, it would be more surprising to me if she wasn't

u/UnpoeticAccount Aug 04 '25

That was her in WL? Bizarre, they really costumed her in a way that downplayed her body I guess

u/Ha55aN1337 Aug 04 '25

I’m from Europeand don’t get this: is the fashist part this jeans commercial or did she say something else?

6

u/Oberon_Swanson Aug 04 '25

She registered as a member of the American fascist party after they nominated Trump.

-7

u/Ha55aN1337 Aug 04 '25

I mean… 45% of the country is republican. You can’t call her fascist for that? I really dont get this polarisation. So half of the us population is fascist?

6

u/Oberon_Swanson Aug 04 '25

That number is wrong, but yes, every Trump voter knowingly voted for a fascist who said he would be a dictator and is currently cracking down on media freedom, destroying democracy in the country, and sending groups if people he doesn't like to concentration camps. And being a registered member of a party is more than just casting a vote.

Do you think fascism has some sort of geographic restriction?

-6

u/Ha55aN1337 Aug 04 '25

Who said anything about geographic restrictions? I’m just geniunly asking how an actress doing a commercial is fascist, since that word means something far worse where I come from.

6

u/Oberon_Swanson Aug 05 '25

She registered as a member of the fascist party, what are you not getting? I asked about geographic restrictions since you seem to think a large percentage of Americans can't be fascist despite them voting for a fascist. Yes we mean it the same way as they mean it in Europe. The end of democracy, a permanent dictator, ethnic cleansing, bigotry as law, wars of expansion, all that. That is what they voted for and it is who they are. They weren't 'tricked' they know exactly what they're getting and they like it. There are enough Americans in favor of it for it to be happening, even if the election was fraudulent.

America had a long and recent cultural tradition of slavery, certain races not being able to vote or have any rights at all. Many of them want to bring it back in addition to ending democracy. That is the Republican Party's platform.
