I’ve seen so much right-wing podcasters and youtubers make serious deep dives about lizzo. A quarter of their jokes were about Lizzo. She’s a constant punchline. Why are they so obsessed?

>what is with conservative’s obsession with lizzo
…and she is famous.
EDIT: Apparently, she lost some weight.
She’s Black. She’s a woman. She’s fat.
She is black and she’s a woman so she’s immediately at target.
But she is a famous person who is extremely overweight and she dresses in revealing clothing. That feeds into conservative narratives they love about how the entire left agrees with the healthy at every size concept. Plus the present HAEV in the most extreme way when suggesting the entire left agrees with it.
She also engaged in terrible behavior to her staff apparently which lets them call her a hypocrite.
Plus, they get to play that video they love where she’s playing James Madison‘s flute.
All of the above, and she had some accusations leveled against her and the right thinks we all think our shit doesn’t stink so when one of our “heros” falls, it’s extra sweet for them. Should add that the harassment case against Lizo was dropped. But I’ll also add that just bc a case is dropped, doesn’t mean it’s not true. Decide for yourself.
The bullying made her turn around and lose a ton of weight which is great for her health.
That’s a silver lining to all that mess.
The black and woman thing I don’t really buy. They were in love with Candace Owen’s for instance.
The fact that she’s fat and pushed for “fat acceptance” was the bigger thing. Oh and she’s a Dem
She’s a fat bisexual(I think?) black woman. One who has a massive fanbase.
If she were somehow in a wheel chair and/or autistic, they’d be their perfect punching bag.
She’s a black woman who is loudly present and unshy. Women aren’t supposed to be that way, and black women doubly so.
She’s fat and isn’t ashamed. That’s wrong – fat people are gross and lazy and need to understand that. They need to want to be skinny so that they can be respected by other people.
People like her. They defend and support her. They idolize her, even. They can only be brainwashed. Normal people are disgusted by fat people. No “normal” person can even tolerate Lizzo.
Essentially, Lizzo isn’t the type of person conservatives believe should have fans or any sort of public support. The fact that she has either means culture is broken, to them – and they can’t walk away from that “righteous” fight.
They are fat shaming bullies. And racists. And misogynists.
Conservatives are afraid that Lizzo being body positive represents another class of people that they can’t dehumanize.
She’s black, a woman, body positive, loud, bisexual, and very successful.
Being in the fitness scene as a small influencer, I can tell you straight up how right wing it is. A lot of the time they equate success with thinness, leanness, and very Eurocentric beauty standards. Everything she is, is the antithesis of what the right views as who should be successful. They forget that she’s also talented, it’s not easy making several hit songs. To the right, she’s a DEI hire.
Any place they can feel powerful over another. Typically LGBTQIA and women. And people with disabilities.
She’s black and shes fat and shes not ashamed of either. Oh and she is a woman.
