Mister G 10,430 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 The marketing strategies behind these types of campaigns...hear me out...are pretty intentional. All the time. Always. The company's product and marketing team evidently underwent discussions around strategy, narrative, content, and all of that got approved by their programs that would sign off on introducing new products and campaigns. Anyone who thinks that these were done just because and without intent wasn't paying attention in school. And based on the comments here, it shows. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I DOUBT any of them would be like "okay yeah lets put some nazi-ism into our ads" Stephen Miller comes from a Jewish family. That logic doesn't work anymore unfortunately.

MACATL 1,544 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 (edited) This is the most absurd thing I’ve read this week. Beyond. Lighten up folks. Not everything is Nazi. Maybe she’s got great genes because she’s considered hot. And she looks good in her AE Jeans. Maybe it’s simple as that. A beautiful black woman could have done this same ad with basically the same script and no one would say a damn thing.

It's very common, hell even TMZ has that "good genes or good docs?" thing where they talk about how hot people are and if they've gotten plastic surgery or not TMZ is the devil, but still... it's a common saying Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gagaism 11,863 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Ive seen an YouTuber discussing about it yesterday and that makes a lot of sense. It’s basically pure subtle kind of marketing and it looks BAD, specially for someone who is constantly and basically referenced as hot white American girl. There’s so many layers in all of that but still, most of ppl will not see it because that’s on purpose; the brand will play it low to keep appealing to their target audience and not being so direct to the affected ones won’t necessarily feel the racism. Yet we can see people here already not seeing the problem with it. We are really and surelydoomed. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the joke isn't that she's the stereotypical archetype of aryan attractiveness and that these are great genes. Interesting. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I DOUBT any of them would be like "okay yeah lets put some nazi-ism into our ads" it's not that deep. people can stretch anything they want into portraying something awful, and I think that can be detrimental when it comes to pointing out actual, intentional dogwhistling (which I don't think this is) edit: btw I have a college degree in Marketing in case anyone wants to call me delusional etc You seriously don’t think they would put a plausibly deniable dog whistle into an ad for the sake of ragebaiting engagement and drawing eyes to the ad?
