I AM STRUGGLING TODAY WITH THE CONCEPT OF "OBJECTIFICATION" REGARDING MY MEMES. SOMEONE CALLED ME OUT ON MY FREQUENT USE OF "WOMEN" IN MEMES. I AM PRETTY SURE THEY WERE TROLLING, BUT IT STILL GOT ME THINKING. I OFTEN REACC WITH PICTURES OF KYLIE OR DANNII MINOGUE, SISTERS WHO HAVE BEEN CELEBRITIES AND STYLE ICONS SINCE THE 80'S. (I CAN'T FULLY EXPLAIN IT, BUT SOMETHING DRAWS ME TO THEIR IMAGE. I GUESS THEY ARE JUST GORGEOUS AND ALWAYS PUT OUT A POSITIVE VIBE. I AM A TOTAL FAN.); BEING IN THE PUBLIC EYE SO LONG, IT IS INCONCEIVABLE TO ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT WANT THEIR IMAGE SHARED. I FIND ALL THESE PICTURES ON THE INTERNET WITHIN SECONDS. IT'S NOT LIKE I AM INVADING THEIR PRIVATE LIFE. BUT... WOULD THEY WANT THEIR IMAGE SHARED IN THIS WAY? IF I REAPPROPRIATE THEIR LIKENESS IN A MEME, IN A POLITICAL CONTEXT, AM I SOMEHOW PUTTING WORDS IN THEIR MOUTH? OR WORSE, COMMANDEERING THEIR BODIES TO GRAB ATTENTION FOR MYSELF AND SCORE MY OWN POINTS? THE MINOGUE SISTERS ARE NOT REALLY KNOWN FOR POLITICAL ACTIVISM. HOWEVER, THEY'VE BEEN CONSISTENTLY PRO-LGBTQ RIGHTS. A STANCE I SHARE AND WANT TO PROMOTE HERE. THEY'RE NOT AMERICAN, BUT I CAN'T IMAGINE THEY WOULD BE TRUMP SUPPORTERS. MAYBE I'M OVERTHINKING THIS. THE CONCLUSION I'VE REACHED FOR NOW IS THAT THEY WOULD INDEED SUPPORT THE USE OF THEIR IMAGE TO REACC TO AND STYLE ON TRUMPISTS. I HOPE THAT IS RIGHT, BECAUSE I LOVE DOING IT. #ENDRANT
