It's not a distraction from the disease, it's a symptom of it. Thank you for taking care of that ridiculous comment. ❤️ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don’t think that **** is on the top of people’s brains unless they’re writing for the Times or mounting a KKK comeback. It’s an interesting critique, but I think the Internet is vastly overestimating everyone else’s media literacy. Like, vastly. And as for her recent voter record registration. Well… it’s a wonder I’m defending her let’s just put it like that. I strongly believe this was all calculated. In my mind i think the possibility of them having the thought “hey this is touching a little on race play… And we only have one ⚪️ girl representing this whole Genetics inspired ad. That highlights that ONE model as having GREAT JEANS (Genes)” Then making the decision to not care about the controversy it will produce. I know brands heavily plan their promo. I know some brand believe any type of press is good press. Maybe AE believes they will continue to thrive, not caring about an audience they are alienating. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hELXIG 43,098 Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Good. Boasting about eugenics and blowing dog whistles for nazis in 2025 deserved punishment. We cannot be silent on things like this. It first starts small with something seemingly innocuous, like an ad for jeans, then before you know it fascism has completely taken over and it's 1940's Germany. If anything we aren't talking about it enough I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine are blue" as we see a close up of her flashing her blue eyes. It was 100% intentional. For one of a few reasons. 1. they though they could blow a dog whistle to the modern day nazis and think they rest of us wouldn't notice. 2. they wanted to stir up drama intentionally to get press. 3. someone at the advertising company pitched it as something else and got away with slipping their own agenda in. But whichever it was it was on purpose and it was not okay I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is a legit take, insofar as nobody was trying to racist but they knew it'd sound that way and get more clicks. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are profiting from it though. It wouldn't have been nearly the big thing it was if they didn't talk about it 24/7. This is anecdotal of course, but I didn't hear about it until I saw someone responding to Fox. I'm not saying no liberals were mad about it, I mean, I think it's a racist ad, but it was hardly the most important issue that I would have wanted to focus on in this climate--fox made it a bigger issue because it was a way to distract/profit/and clown on liberals.

Democrats also support Israel as well and both democrats and republicans have committed horrible atrocities. They aren't better, they only pretend to be. Truly agree that democrats are ****ED. They aren’t even left wing compared to other parties in the world such as nz au england etc. democrats are centre. They also funded the genocide that said yourself as a white person you can’t say that republicans aren’t doing horrible things that Dems wouldn’t have taken to THE level it’s on now IE ICE, Gestapo on every corner . cutting health care, creating dangerous environment's for black and brown people . I’m on a green card here and it’s ****ing terrifying daily. Sorry but it’s 50000% much worse with republicans . and free Palestine ✌🏼 Edited 2 hours ago by 50 Ft Queenie Free Palestine 🍉 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
