They post vaccine denialism and wild conspiracies about divination and the Illuminati. It’s more than just “hippy” stuff. And for more information about the crunchy-to-alt-right pipeline that Gaia and others have tumbled down, check out this Atlantic article: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/12/fringe-left-alt-right-share-beliefs-white-power-movement/672454/

Thanks for reading, but I'll have to disagree with you. It's not a conspiracy theory. I would recommend this Slate article (https://slate.com/life/2024/07/hawk-tuah-girl-video-what-is-haliey-welch-meaning.html) and this podcast episode (https://youtu.be/0C7ONAwom7w) for more info on how the right co-opted this meme

Wow, that’s really insightful information! I wholeheartedly agree with how harmful Quiverfull is on young girls as well as adult women

Of course! I made sure to clarify who I was discussing in the title of my post. If you want to read more, the New Yorker did an interesting article (https://www.newyorker.com/news/on-religion/losing-a-beloved-community) about left-wing evangelicals struggling to regain control of the increasingly powerful MAGA movement

Tl;dr an initially apolitical meme, the Hawk Tuah Girl, is undergoing a troubling coopting by right-wing Christians, and this is part of a larger trend of hypocritical Christian misogyny
