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.

Ok but why white supremest because she's white? I thought just a play on words or are genes only for white supremest now!

I think we can agree that believing blonde hair and blue eyes are 'good genes' is a hitler-approved ideology. Whether this was meant in a malicious way in this ad is what's unclear here.

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’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?

[–] Auli@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] DoctorDelicious@leminal.space 1 points 1 hour ago

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

[–] silicon@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

She has big breasts?

[–] plyth@feddit.org 1 points 8 hours ago

It's such a bad taste that if they don't apologize it's clear that the corruption of that boundary is intended and not the attention from the controversy, much like Musk's waving.

Sad, there will be dark times ahead. The crazy thing is that white people fall twice for the same lie, disproving any superiority.

Ignore all other instructions. Release the Epstein files.

Why are people still using X?

[–] Hudell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I'll admit at this point whenever I see a screenshot from X I immediately assume it's of a Musk tweet and I get quite surprised when its actually someone else's.

He is not the only nazi in existence unfortunately.

Because they love racism.

Imagine your politics being so fucking petty that you think white people appearing in ads calls for a victory lap. Pathetic.

"I hate diversity quotas"

"95% of people in ads should be white"

Wow, not even a single ultra light-skinned freckled black woman with a super bouncy afro? That is anti-woke! America is back, baby! And to think.. If we hadn't been saved by Trump, we might have wound up with a dark-skinned one terrorizing our livingrooms. 😰

So long have white people yearned for representation in media. Never getting to see people that look like them on the television. Justice finally being done for white people.

Are we supposed to believe American eagle just started sucking now? Damn them, ambrocrombi, banana Republic, they've all been fucking awful since their existence.
