Sydney Sweeney Finally Addresses Ad Campaign

[Guillaume Hamon 6,677]

What a genuine Lady... 

It took a flop and an overall disaproval from the masses for her to finally get what was implied... 

Sure Sydney... Now thank your PR team for helping your ass out.

She's just playing dumb and would never have said all this anyway had her recent projects not bombed

I genuinely don’t understand why people hate her for an ad she was paid to do by a company and people read way tooooo much into it.

I remember seeing it and not thinking twice about it. The whole ad was a play on words not some MAGA leaning, dog whistle, white power propaganda. She does in fact have great genes, she’s very pretty. It literally coulda been anyone but they picked her because she was hot in the moment. Not to mention she reflects their demographic, preppy white folk. That’s always been their brand. 
 

But I do know people like to be mad at everyone these days and can’t just see or watch things without thinking it’s some kinda of attack on someone or something. Not everyone is out to get everyone and some times ads are just ads

For real, everyone who got offended by this ad needs to touch grass. It’s like everybody jumped to the absolute most bad faith conclusion immediately. Sydney should have doubled down on the ad not being racist a long time ago tho.

Yeah eugenics are just associated with the nazi propaganda, specially relevant in today's politics, what's the big deal about this

It was a pun about jeans and Sydney Sweeney being pretty. It is not racist to say a pretty person has great genes. No reason to be offended when American Eagle’s MO is clearly not to promote eugenics.

And how is she going to react to being registered as a Republican?

I guess catering to the MAGgots isn’t paying the bills 

[Ilia Malinin 1,835]

that's a lot of words for "i'm sorry you took what i said that way"

I mean, the moment Neo Nazis started appropriating the ad was the moment she should’ve distanced herself from that interpretation tbh

The Euphoria bosses were like “our show isn’t taking the hit because of you missy”

Look, I'm not a fan of her by any means and don't know how she became the It Girl of the moment but I felt frustration on her behalf when the absolute worst was read into this ad, in a way that could only occur in the 21st century. It's basically an exact replica of Brooke Shield's 80's Calvin Klein jeans ad where she makes the genes/jeans pun while talking about the biological element and how it's very similar to jeans. No one read anything bad into that ad back then because people took stuff at face value and knew when a cigar was just a cigar. Sidney said as much herself in a recent interview when asked to explain the ad and said: "I think the ad spoke for itself." She also suggested that she was chosen as a spokesperson not because of how she looked but because her signature style is jeans and a t-shirt, which is a big factor people conveniently forget.

Saying someone has good genes has been a way to call them attractive for years, as well as that they're fit and youthful looking. There was just one iteration of the ad where she even mentioned the biology behind genes, everything else was her doing something unrelated for no reason and was just classic "sex sells" marketing. For people to misunderstand that and be deliberately obstructive just to provoke racial discussion where it had no place to be is just typical of today's world. Even if Sydney is a Republican and has a MAGA supporting family, she's still small fry when it comes to actual major league Nazis and fascists, so let's not forget who the real enemy is.

I think the reason she stayed quiet wasn't because she secretly believed in this stuff but simply that she hoped that if she didn't say anything or draw attention to it, it would blow over. That's a strategy that works surprisingly well but it depends on who you are and what the controversy is. Her original tactic wasn't working, so it's time to course correct. Just so you know that staying quiet doesn't mean you secretly support something awful, it can literally just mean you don't want drama.
