@Dynamo FrokaneWhich is my point, that everyone has their niche appeal, but all of it has to deal with who they are speaking to, how they are saying it, and what they are saying. In the case of Lauren Southern, as with any of the other names, I could not tell you anything about her because I do not listen to her, just as I do not listen to any of the others; she has as little of my ear as Alex Jones or Milo Yiannopoulos does. In fact if it were not for the sole truth people constantly complain about her being, and I quote, an "Alt-Right blonde white woman", I wouldn't know who she is at all; the name would have no value to me, just as the fact I would have no idea Ben Shapiro is Jewish if people hadn't begun blasting him for supporting Donald Trump as a Jew.
It seems fairly clear the only ones who care that she has "sex appeal" are the ones constantly screaming at the top of their lungs about her being that. For myself I find this laden with a heavy dose of irony, that it seems to be acceptable racism and sexism - claiming she is only successful because she's white and a woman - more than the fact she's an online personality and political activist from the Right-wing in the middle of a heated divide between two ideologies where it is relatively easy to get famous as a "Hero of the Right" by so much as beating a bunch of roleplaying communist ninjas with a stick or being a Fed-Ex man who puts out a burning American flag.
And yes, I will gleefully play down the "effect of optics" as I can point to any list of the so-called "Alt-Right" and say appearance or history makes for pretty minor impact with these people, as I already noted. No less, it bears mention again I have stated previously while the sexual attraction factor assuredly exists, it is probably not
the fact she rose to fame at all. Having a pretty face reliably will help someone than not, but claiming that is all they are, not what they say or do? Blatant double standard.
As an addendum,
The know exactly who the alt right is but they cant acknowledge them because it hurts their arguments. I long gave up on trying to find common ground with dishonest people.
No, some of us do not actually hold them as messiah or even follow anyone, let alone their word as "Right-wing gospel". The only dishonesty going on here is your willful labeling of people who you
believe to sympathize with "white nationalists" and attempting to leverage that belief as the lone truth when I doubt any significant number of people here, let alone the "Alt-Right",
are white nationalists. To date I personally am relegated to a "part" of that tribal divide and made into the "other" and I have still yet to meet a single "true" Alt-Righter who embodies any of the supposed qualities, be them seeing other races as lesser, to wanting an ethno-state, to flying any colors but the United States' flag or the Gadsden battle flag.
