MAGA men lured by influencer’s yoga pants and ‘unusual’ pose: ‘She isn’t subtle’
A MAGA influencer has blended politics with OnlyFans, using the adult platform to court right-wing male followers in a striking new way, according to a report Thursday.
Will Sommer, senior reporter at The Bulwark, detailed how Savanna Cannon has emerged as a new MAGA personality, sharing her views on TikTok and Instagram. She's referred to people who disagree with her as "braindead" and wears a Charlie Kirk "Freedom" shirt. In her videos, she "looks and sounds like she came straight out of the Turning Point USA or PragerU conservative influencer pipelines."
"But Cannon has one big advantage over her rival conservative commentators: she sits in an unusual way," Sommer explained.
"Cannon typically records her videos leaning back in a chair while wearing yoga pants, with her legs pulled up on either side of her," Sommer wrote.
"It’s a pose that highlights everything a more prurient viewer might hope to see: her bare feet and—forgive me, I am only reporting the facts here—the faint outline of her genitals," Sommer wrote, including the addendum, "Her buttcrack, too."
Cannon started on OnlyFans, making content of herself working out at the gym. But now she has shifted to a particular goal.
"Cannon isn’t subtle about it," Sommer wrote. "Scroll through her Instagram page and a good 80 percent of the posts are her sitting in that pose, wearing yoga pants, often pulling them up to make them fit tighter. 'My videos are for straight men,' she explained."
It's a strategic move — leveraging her audience on OnlyFans by talking politics and drawing on a male audience.
"It was a smart call," Sommer wrote. "Pro-Trump social media is a rich field for finding new, smitten subscribers—or, in the language of the industry, 'simps'—who could end up following you on OnlyFans, too."
As her following has grown, she's built an audience using the "symbiotic relationship" between right-wing influencers and subscribers.
"If anything, Cannon stands out because she merges the two roles," Sommer added. "Rather than being an OnlyFans model subject to the whims of a dating podcast host or a feud with a far-right pundit, she is creating the MAGA content on her own. Perhaps it was only a matter of time before some enterprising ingénue tapped this particular market."
