discourse aside lana's album cover is way better than Sabrina's lmao (and so is the album in general). sabrina's is just a bad cover what is this blurry instagram aesthetic and why is the man grabbing random strands of her hair. the background and styling are boring. her pose is awkward. the whole thing looks like a mockup. it could’ve been a more interesting and classy cover if they put in the effort.
something like this couldve been so good:
or even

sorry but this literally looks like a still from a domestic violence incident. im not gonna pretend a vapid pop star is a harbinger of doom but this seems like just the kind of backward propaganda that would only be passable in the culture if we had someone like trump in office!

Sydney Sweeney selling her "bathwater" as soap is such a fake feminist thing for people to defend.
The thing is you don't have to feed into the patriarchy to fight the patriarchy. That's actually doing the opposite in fact. The thing is how people see you in her situation starts with 'you.' She took a role and chose to do nudity, which showed her how men can act weird and that's not her fault. But everything after screams, "look at me, objectify me" and she feeds into it. Everything she does is so disappointing, from her snl monologue to her fake girly laughter at every B-list man to her passiveness on villifying conservative culture (which contains exactly the men who like her). I hate this woman.

something that i think most leftists fundamentally do not understand is this: the basic seed of white supremacism is not and has never been “white people are good and everyone else is bad”. the basic seed of white supremacism has always been “white people are capable and everyone else is incapable”. when explicit arguments in favor of white supremacy are put forth, they are almost always take this form. never “white people are the kindest and the most virtuous” always “white people have achieved, they have conquered, where no others have”. this is why the liberal idpol thing of “all badness in the world is the result of european imperialism” actually more or less supports a white supremacist narrative. sure, the value judgements are different, but the basic belief that white people are the driving force of history is almost identical. stop it! this shit is not helpful!

Average 2020s movie being "too political": girl power! quick background kiss between two gay extras! one single black guy!
Average "non-political" 70s movie: the government is hiding a global conspiracy that is warming the planet and will kill us all and also the cops are evil

The Truth and My Truth of Sex Trafficking
I’m so so tired of having to explain what sex trafficking actually is. It is not a suburban white woman being kidnapped in a Target parking lot, or little kids in suburban America being randomly taken off the street, zip tied in a van. It’s not what these idiotic Christian right winged vegetables have propagandized and profited off of in media.
What it IS, is teen girls and young women being coerced into doing sex work. It’s prostitutes with pimps, or porn actors with agents. It’s escort and porn agencies reaching out and roping girls in through their social media account messages and forcing them into contracts. It’s boyfriends making their girlfriends have sex with other men for money.
But of course, we don’t focus on that. Instead we blame survivors for being too stupid, or signing up to do it, or it wasn’t really that bad, etc. This is why I hate when women glamorize OF and porn because it’s not glamorous, it’s sex trafficking. It’s rape. The patriarchal media has made it so that sex trafficking isn’t this, but is actually mythical legends that rarely ever happen. That way, women’s bodies can still be used for profit. After all, they’re grown women, even at 18, so who cares right?
I’m so so so tired of having to explain this to people. And I’m tired of being shut down, minimized and having my trauma invalidated.

Ukrainians holding their pride march in a subway because of russian bombs are immeasurably more powerful and real than any western tankie with a hammer-and-sickle or a Lenin profile on a trans flag.
