There was recently a national security advisor that had to leave because of posting nudes on grindr. His lips are atrocious however.

No, they embody the condescending, self-satisfied and annoying stereotype. It is a real phenomenon. Carl Bildt may be the apotheosis of that specific kind of guy (though he also genuinely sucks 99% of the time). The people filling that stereotype in Swedish media are preppy Finnish people.

The reverse is kind of true for Danish and Norwegian politicians or police in Sweden where they are invited to tell us why we gotta get more racist and get hailed as truth tellers for saying it.

This is how Swedish people are used abroad. Someone who will be for something that is good but does it in a condescending, self-satisfied and annoying way so that the people hearing it double down on not doing that. One of the reasons that hearing the Swedish accent in English (in Swidin wi donnt do dat) makes my skin crawl. Even if they are not actually being condescending, self-satisfied or annoying they will be framed as if they are (such as Greta Thunberg).

It is either that or the classic bikini babe.
