Kinda looks like Leslie Neilsen if an AI program reversed his age to the mid to late 20's

Could they have picked a rapier looking Ken for this pic?
It looks like the photoshopped Alan Tudyks face overtop of Ryan Gosling
Kinda looks like a grown up version of Joffrey from GoT.
Or maybe just a really good character actor?
The guy in this meme looks like he's really into the patriarchy and horses for some reason.
I sure do wonder what movie this meme is from and on what platform I can watching it on. Hmmm.
Ah yes, biblical genders: the penetrator and the penetrated.
Just like in Demon's Souls 🙃
Theres also god who is "both but neither." You know, non binary. Well, he was biologically a man with a giant, oversized novelty penis but came out as non binary to mosses.
Just because a priest rapes an alter boy, it doesn't make them an alter girl, it makes them an alter man.
Altered. Altered Beast.
I will never understand some memes. Okay so he's sort of making some kind of face. I have literally no clue what emotion is expressed or what anyone thinks is being expressed. He looks maybe slightly frustrated but I can't be sure. That's funny in some manner?
the original meme was a video that i took a screenshot of for lemmy that's why it's so awkward but to me that makes it funnier
Without movie context: blonde white man, traditional haircut, general frustration, devout determination
With movie context: he's pissed that Barbie has so many freedoms and superior rights. It's a woman's world. Males are lower class and serve the women. And if you stop the movie 2/3 through, Ken/men take over the world in Barbie's absence and take their revenge to live happily ever after. Conservative men tend to think the world has already been taken from them since they're no longer supposed to catcall women walking, slap their secretaries' asses, and generally blame this generally progressive trend for equal rights/freedoms as the reason they're so unsuccessful in life. They don't blame the economy, capitalism, imperialism, unsustainable growth, misrepresented postwar success, or politicized religious takes; they've been brainwashed to identify women as one of the outgroups taking away their resources in a zero sum game.
Honestly to me he looks like a predator watching his prey which is almost exactly why they chose "lucky lady"
I don't remember the scene, but the caption and something about it makes it feel like decisiveness, maybe frustration finally made into a plan.
I'm not sure what would be funny about this image either. I think he looks predatory more than anything else in this image. Maybe its just supposed to be relatable and the conservative who made this meme thought it would be cool/manly in some messed up way? Idk
I think you have it. Complete lack of self-awareness on their part.
Come on, this one is funny but why pretend it was ever made by a right wing person in earnest? Everything about it screams classic mocking meme.
I was also thinking this was already sarcastic/pre-memed.
well you can never be sure but here are some other posts from the same instagramnpost

Another one on there:
Oh hey, this guy is a straight up Nazi. The more you scroll the worse it gets.
What a bunch of assholes.
Do any of those strike you as not a parody?
I'll counter and say even if they are... FB and insta morons gobble up parody. They have no idea what it is. You post this over there and I guarantee you'll get 10,000 comments agreeing with it seriously.
None of them are parody. Some of them feel like parody, but the poster is dead serious.
If these were supposed to be parody, we'd see a few that weren't subtle. If they were just riffing, some would be so hyperbolic that there would be no doubt that the poster wasn't being serious.
Instead we have a mix of memes that either kinda feel like a joke, or come across as completely serious. We can assume that whoever uploaded these earnestly identifies with each of these.
That person is extremely stupid. Dangerously stupid, even.
Dangerous
Summarized for you.
Parody and satire have taken a real beating in the last years so I'd say ¯_(ツ)_/¯
None of them strike me as parody…. Plenty of folks behave as though they believe this stuff heartily. Many of them are in Milwaukee right now.
Nashville, too.
I hate how right you are...
The irony detector is doing heavy lifting for me:
