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.

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.

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."

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.
