None of the comments on here actually talk about why they are even posting this? Did nobody see the Sydney Sweeney ad and the controversy??

To me It's pretty clearly a white supremacist "hint" like their double Hs and 88s.. It determines your eye color.. It's passed from the parents to the offspring.. they are not being subtle about it.

Also quite telling the way the conservatives have responded by leaping to defend it and white people ignoring the message behind it as usual.
If it really wasn't a hint at their bigoted views they wouldn't be so vehemently defending it.

a couple of points:

i think calling it a "hint" or dog whistle etc is severe overstatement of the subtlety in which the message is delivered. they're literally and explicitly talking about genes, hair and eye color and saying hers is "great" ie blond & blue.
i don't know why no one points to the actual bad part which is them saying genes determine personality, which is straight up eugenicist bullshit

I thought here genes are great cause she's hot and has big breasts. I mean her eye color is not the first thing that pops I to my head.

did no one watch the damn thing?

Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color.

that's a quote.

In the ad they say her Genes are blue while zooming in on her eyes.

She has big breasts?

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

that's pretty much the one thing she's known for

I’m not here to tell you to buy American Eagle jeans, and I definitely won’t say that they’re the most comfortable jeans I’ve ever worn or that they make your butt look amazing.

Why would I need to do that?

But if you said that you want to buy the jeans, I’m not going to stop you.

Just so we’re clear, this is not me telling you to buy American Eagle jeans.

Sydney Sweeney has great jeans— you see what I did there, right?

Where is the implication that genes are related to personality though?

in the actual Sweeney jeans ad everyone's talking about

Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color.
