Okay this is the second time I've seen Sydney Sweeney referenced in a meme in less than half a day. I had never heard of her before. Who is she, and why is she suddenly attracting so much meme attention?

She's an American actress who was in Handmaid's Tale and a few other things and then blew up thanks to her role in Euphoria. She's become a bit of a meme recently because online conservatives think that her boobs are anti-woke

What a bizarre story. Mr. W is me right now:

Two reasons.
