The whole thing is stupid. I'd hate to be a marketing company these days.

So lets say, theoretically, AE followed up on the "great jeans (genes)" line of advertising with a smoking hot black, latina, asian, would that insult everyone as well. Sorry, still kind of lost in all this. I'm an old, white, curmudgeon, admittedly, though. Probably my problem.

If AE was smart, they would've released multiple ads simultaneously with hot women of different races. But these companies aren't smart.

People are looking for outrage where there shouldn't be any, but it's 2025 and if you're releasing a provocative ad campaign you have to be prepared for this type of thing.

Because ugly women are jealous of her. But they don’t want to say they are jealous, so they’re playing the race card. @Mavsker explained it pretty well. But the genesis of it all is ugly women that don’t like a hot white chick saying she has “good jeans/genes” even if it was in jest and a play on words.

Summary… Ugly bitches are showing us how petty and jealous they can be.

AE stock is up like 18% since they ran this. Marketing company doing just fine.

The very-online mentally unwell performative breakdown artists will be on to crying about the next non-communist thing shortly.

No if they did that, likely nobody would complain. White people don’t necessarily see race in everything like some minorities tend to do. If it was a hot black woman none of these ugly bitches would be saying anything. And most white people don’t give a shit if a black woman says she has “good jeans/genes”.

Plenty of whites whining about Snow White or some other Disney princess not being white.

People just need to calm down.

Can someone way more enlightened than me help me understand why people are losing their shit over the Sydney Sweeney American Eagle commercial? I wouldn't have given it a second thought had I not seen all the hurt and outrage on social media.

TIA

I'd give her face an 8. I'm still going to be staring at her tits though.

Honestly, her body probably brings her face down for me. If that face was on a 6 body, it would probably go way up.
