I will never understand some memes. Okay so he's sort of making some kind of face. I have literally no clue what emotion is expressed or what anyone thinks is being expressed. He looks maybe slightly frustrated but I can't be sure. That's funny in some manner?

I'm not sure what would be funny about this image either. I think he looks predatory more than anything else in this image. Maybe its just supposed to be relatable and the conservative who made this meme thought it would be cool/manly in some messed up way? Idk

I think you have it. Complete lack of self-awareness on their part.

Honestly to me he looks like a predator watching his prey which is almost exactly why they chose "lucky lady"

Without movie context: blonde white man, traditional haircut, general frustration, devout determination

With movie context: he's pissed that Barbie has so many freedoms and superior rights. It's a woman's world. Males are lower class and serve the women. And if you stop the movie 2/3 through, Ken/men take over the world in Barbie's absence and take their revenge to live happily ever after. Conservative men tend to think the world has already been taken from them since they're no longer supposed to catcall women walking, slap their secretaries' asses, and generally blame this generally progressive trend for equal rights/freedoms as the reason they're so unsuccessful in life. They don't blame the economy, capitalism, imperialism, unsustainable growth, misrepresented postwar success, or politicized religious takes; they've been brainwashed to identify women as one of the outgroups taking away their resources in a zero sum game.

I don't remember the scene, but the caption and something about it makes it feel like decisiveness, maybe frustration finally made into a plan.

the original meme was a video that i took a screenshot of for lemmy that's why it's so awkward but to me that makes it funnier
