The movie is called Immaculate, and she wasn't just the lead actress she was also a producer, and oh boy the ending to that film is not something right wingers would be happy about lmao.
Sweeney's character goes to a convent where she is forcibly impregnated with a clone of Jesus. She spends the whole film escaping, and at the end gives birth to the clone and kills it with a rock. It's an incredibly obvious allegory for abortion, with one scene in particular hitting the nail directly on the head when she asks to see a doctor and gets denied.
I was thinking about this and also those big charts of 'conservativecore' films and video games and it's literally just whatever the person making the chart likes, because as you said the crucial thing is superficiality: there is no underlying reason or rational basis for their worldview or aesthetics, all they can do is take a thing that they personally think is good (based on whatever their arbitrary tastes are) and then claim that thing is the enlightened pinnacle of human culture - and that [whatever it is] needs to be defended from the woke hordes who MUST be desperate to destroy it because it's good, and their enemies simply hate things that are good, for no reason, because they're evil.
So they both assume they have a monopoly on liking any random thing that large numbers of people are likely to enjoy, AND they gloat about how conservative society's tastes supposedly are, not because of the ideological dominance of capitalist rhetoric in all forms of media due to bourgeoise control of the means of production, but because other people like the same things that they like!
IIRC, immediately after this discourse started, she took an acting job they instantly got bent out of shape about, right? Some Exorcist type movie?

actually she's a member of the Nietzschean right so she's actually owning the libs
Oh, right. I forgot that her ample bosom is killing wokeness too.

Are they still going along with this one? It feels like it's died down a bit. Very short-lived fixation.
