These same people keep saying that Protland, Austin, and San Francisco are good because they are weird.
Suddenly JD Vance points out they're useless, childless, cat-ladies; and now he's supposed to be "weird" as "bad".
Women use "weird" in two different ways.
For those cities, it's self-referential for how "charmingly quirky" they are because of how they conform to non-conformism. The manic pixie dream girl trope is the epitome of this.
But when a woman uses "weird" against someone else, it's social signaling to tell other women that their social status will be lowered if you associate with that person. Think the cheerleader talking about the weird kids in the chess club.
I actually think this is GENUINELY the real point.
They are trying to give JD Vance "the ick"
He has a lot of "the ick" already. He's doughy, baby-faced in pictures without the beard, married to a 5-at-best pajeeta, and a lot of his fame comes from being a poor hillbilly. These low-status markers give women the ick. They are trying to inflate it, though, which is why Google's been saying he's 5'7" despite being about as tall as Trump.
Wow, you're not lying -- they really did claim 5'7''.
Well, I don't know you, but I had to choose between "BlisteringCold" or "Google" being a liar, the choice is pretty clear.
