The marketing choices of huge lifestyle brands are bellwethers for the cultural moment they’re in. I wouldn’t use the words “upset” or “scandal.” But on balance, a blonde-haired, blue-eyed woman talking about her superior hereditary traits is not a great addition to the broader zeitgeist.

Right, many companies are ditching dei efforts and swinging right. I wish I could divest but it's all too intertwined.

The American Eagle ad she was in was helping to finance the domestic violence charity with 100% of the sales of the jeans going to the crisis text line.

Then she's conflicted as she's registered as a Repuke which damages all things good, ALL OF THEM.

I hope we can persude her to vote Democrat next time. But the moneys going to a good cause, and American Eagle are by all accounts a decent company.

When I read that she registered just last summer as a Repuke I put her on my 'i will not watch' list. The writing on the wall was very clear by then, the party is evil. I think she's going to be forced to take a stand and show where she really is.

I agree. It hits wrong. I don’t want to hear abt superior genes. She defended some *maga lite* sh#t a few years back as well

Exactly. But Pakman is wrong on quite a few things. It's a shame. He was one of the first I watched in getting educated about politics. But he is grifty, clickbaity, and moved toward the center to grow his audience. Or I outgrew him as I got more educated. He has terrible foreign policy.
