Is anyone on the left actually upset about Sydney Sweeney? I couldn't care less and haven't met a single person who does. Another manufactured scandal.

Yes, David. There are plenty of people that are upset about this. Either you are pretending to not understand the blowback, which is weird, or you aren't as knowledgeable on the subject as you could be, and maybe you should ask MORE questions before making your determination.

Maybe you'd like to look through your quoted shares to, ya know, get a feel for how other real and valid people might be feeling about this subject, because if you're not finding people with opinions, you're not looking. And to be fair, you said you don't care about it, but you brought it up.

The Sydney Sweeney AE ad is a problem and it shouldn't be ignored. I don't think it needs to be talked about to death, but let's all be in agreement never to shop at American Eagle again. Calling it a manufactured scandal is reductive considering many people agree it's perpetuating white supremacy.

I saw the American Eagle ad. Frankly, I laughed a little: it was just a dumb play on words: genes vs jeans. She says at the end: my jeans are blue. Had she said "my genes are white" - yeah - then you'd have a problem. But, her being a MAGAt? Punish her for THAT.

First, how would anybody know she's a republicunt? I know NOW, AFTER this non-issue. But, this ad is not forcing anyone to watch it. We need to spend our time doing harm --what we say & what we do -- to MAGAts. Great -- I will support you saying bad things about Sweeney, NOW that I know she's

The scandal was manufactured ... by AE, for profit. Sure the eugenics angle has been overblown--as they knew it would be, but the campaign didn't need the controversial lines; they were included solely to generate discord in an already fractured society. Rage farming for $$ is evil.

The thing is republicans are so deeply tribal that they can’t think anyone can not care what someone else’s political affiliation is. This is why they constantly act like Dems are crying all the time when we just don’t give a shit. It’s also why they’ll never not vote republican.

I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling gaslit about this shit, LOL A few stray tweets will have a topic trending for days, but literal crimes against Americans will go uncommented upon, I hate it here 🙂

I have no idea what the issue is. Its a jeans ad, disposable and meaningless. I am sure there was one Tweet about how its genes/jeans comparison is kinda gross and right wing media imprinted a division upon it between Democrats and Republicans. She has become a Republican somehow.

I’m surprised a blue jeans company hasn’t made that pun before. I guess it could be seen as dog-whistly, but I think it’s just a reference to good looks. In the 2000s people said Halle Berry had good genes,too. In sports, “good genes” is used for people of all races who are gifted athletes.

Definitely manufactured. Companies learned from Chic-fil-a, et al, MAGA will spend a fortune with them for a side dish of owning the libs. I just wish that we didn't have so many take the bait.

It felt less as eugenics and more like please be sexually attracted to me and buy these clothes. The play of jeans/genes is there but there’s enough in real life to prioritize.

I don't even get what's happening. Someone makes an homage to an old jeans ad and everyone lost their minds? Or are people so obsessed with the babbling of an old orange letch that he dictates relevancy? I'm mostly focused on people being apparently fine with the Gestapo.

To be honest, I thought American Eagle had closed down until this started and I still can’t be bothered to watch the ad. There are too many big businesses that are being run by obvious white supremacists to even blink at what seems like essentially questionable taste or a Rorschach test to me

It’s amazing…right wing media machine takes a tid bit from the ether and spins it until we are made to feel this is actually a real issue that liberal minded people are truly all wrought up over. Yes…no one cares!

Well, just ask yourself what bad genes (jeans) are supposed to be, if good genes lead to pale skin, big breasts and blue eyes. That ad campaign is at least playing with eugenic tropes and therefor distusting.

I didn't read it as those are the only good genes. I read it as she's considered generally attractive because of her specific genes. There are plenty of blonde-haired, blue-eyed women who wouldn't be considered attractive.

“Good genes” in Sweeney’s case means her genes. Good genes in her case means physical attributes that many find aesthetically pleasing. Therefore, when discussing genes that appear to match current beauty standards, it’s very apparent that “good genes” appear across all races/shades/eye&hair color.

I mean.. saying she has “good genes” doesn’t indicate they meant superior genes. I don’t think it’s necessarily in good taste, but it’s getting them engagement, one way or another.

No, I think it's made up as well. The offspring comment was strange, but I can't believe the staying power on this story. They're giving Sydney and AE everything they could've ever asked for at this point 😂 This publicity is going to pay off in the end for them both.

They’ll talk about literally anything if it stops people from talking about Epstein for 30 seconds. They’re going to manufacture “outrages” over and over again.

I didn’t even know who that was until I googled 🤷🏼♀️ I’ve seen exactly one thing that she’s acted in & I didn’t like it. Trump was probably just trolling for another non qualified blond to hire when he stumbled onto her. 🤮

It's not a manufactured scandal when Sydney is a registered republican in Florida and hosted a MAGAfied birthday party for her mom where she grew up in very rural Idaho panhandle. I'm angry that she got cast on Euphoria and White Lotus which made her more famous.

It’s a Nazi ad. Between that and going to the Bezos wedding it should be blown up. Any decent person should boycott her movies.

It’s more about the fact that an ad with white supremacist and eugenics messaging being targets at teenagers. The brand and their marketing team are the issue, not the model.

I am a little upset about what it says about the current culture and eugenics. But it's definitely a story I have barely paid attention to. King Joffrey commenting led me here.

It's unmistakable that the ad is basically supporting eugenics AND it harkens back to when "blond haired - blue eyed people" were touted as the "master race" So yeah I care American Eagle and Sweeny should be ostracized Every time we tolerate this Nazi shit we give them permission to do MORE

I don't care because I already knew she was MAGA a long time ago. I thought everyone did, too. Who else would hawk ass-soap on TV ads for incels? Like, c'mon? Next up: #SydneySweeney stars in new ads for #TrumpCrypto wearing a bikini, a HUGE gold cross, and a MAGA hat. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

If Trump is right and she's a MAGA cultist, well, it'd fit give the eugenicist nature of the commercial's undertones. Because yeah it's pretty on the nose.
