I don’t think it’s a eugenics thing and I think it’s totally blown out of proportion, but I don’t think it’s a great marketing thing. The advertisement should be about the jeans and when they put in one of their ads “genes” crossed out with “jeans.” It’s a little unnecessary. But it’s hardly Nazi propaganda

It’s definitely not. It’s the part where she says what “genes”/jeans determine, which includes personality. This kind of statement aligns with eugenics rhetoric, as it tries to push the idea that certain people (mainly talking about race) are inherently violent, stupid, inferior, etc., but personality is almost entirely the result of nurture, not nature.

The Germans Shepard was her dog.

Hips would be a super strange choice for a hereditary feature even though I’m sure they are hereditary to some extent

all of your physical features are hereditary; hips are absolutely influenced by your genes.

The US is the most free country in the world. Also has the most immigrants which is more than the 4 countries ranked next to the US combined. I don’t understand the ignorant fascism argument when you can actually look at data that shows this is one of the better countries to live in compared to the rest of the world.

No their ad says genes and then Sydney comes up and crosses it out and puts “jeans”. That’s the ad

she literally says her good genes are her hair and eye color. which means someone who isn't blonde haired, blue eyed has bad genes. eugenics.

she said it's because of her hair and eye color. her being attractive isn't because of that

No you’re just self conscious or something that an attractive white, blonde female is getting promoted for being…well….attractive and a great fit for a clothing brand. It doesn’t scream “eugenics” or anything like that, it’s literally just an ad stating “Sydney Sweeney has great jeans.” It’s really not that deep. If it bothers you so much, you either need to grow up or grow some thicker skin (or both).

the ad, as pictured in another comment on this post, says “Sydney Sweeney has great GENES”.

Anonymous #19 6w

Its called a pun troglodyte. They didn’t say “Sydney has better genes than people wjo dont have blond hair and blue eyes” the pun is she’s widely considered attractive and she’s wearing our jeans buy our jeans. If you think this is anout eugenics yoo just sut at home praying and hoping something happens that you can outrage or virtue signal about cause it is truly not that deep

Bro, that was literally photoshop on mainstream media. It’s already been debunked that it said “jeans” and not “genes.” If you take one look at the actual ad and not “some person posting on Sidechat,” you can quite literally see it says “jeans” and NOT “genes.”

Haha honestly true. The fact they actually believe it says “genes” is a great indicator of their intelligence and how willing they are to conform to the left without doing their own research. Gotta love it

I mean you’re the ones thinking it says “genes” without actually doing any research so who’s the dense one? 🤔🤔

My little agenda by stating facts and proving you wrong? Alright buddy. Also, this has some relation to Brooke Shields (not really because she was being the controversy surrounding that was her being sexually exploited as a CHILD). Last time I checked, Sydney is 27 so definitely not a child. You’re trying to bring up an argument that is basically pointless here and continuing to ride with it. Not the brightest one I can tell LOL.

I mean I’m confidently right, but it seems like you’re confidently wrong. You’re still going off of other people’s Sidechat posts rather than doing your OWN research 😭. When will you learn? This next generation is doomed if it’s full of kids like you.

I don’t give a fuck about how she looks. it’s sad and quite telling about your intelligence that you’re so blinded by her appearance that you can’t think critically about the messaging of the ad.

your argument applies more to you than it does to me lololol. it’s okay that she has good jeans and good genes. she is pretty :) try to calm down

What the fuck? Then with that logic, you just discredited your entire argument. If you don’t care how she looks, then there’s no reason to bring up “genes” and the play on that. The eugenics argument just got completely tossed out the window because let’s be honest, this wouldn’t be such a big deal if it was a less attractive woman OR even a black woman in general (I’m not saying black women are less attractive than white women, I’m just posing that as an alternative).

Like you’re contradicting yourself left and right. So thanks for proving my argument I guess?

Ik it can be hard to put two & two together sometimes ❤️ but the point was her obviously being a pretty sex symbol, romanticizing & “making light” of a very controversial ad. If it was just her being hot and people being mad, then u can attribute it to bitterness or whatever but that’s not the case. Again, ur purposely missing the point to have a lil internet argument so yes, it’s safe for me to assume ur being dense & feeding some sort of complex instead of any sort of actual convo about the ad

Anonymous #129 6w

the ad campaign promoting eugenicist ideas like genes dictating personality has nothing to do with her attractiveness. it has nothing to do with how she looks. I’m saying I don’t care about her being attractive. I’m not jealous of her; I’m simply listening to the words coming out of her mouth. I never contradicted myself, you just inserted your own completely incorrect interpretation into my words. you’re begging the question in order to win an imaginary argument that isn’t present in my reply.

Anonymous #86 6w

Well I mean clearly it’s hard to put two and two together for you because I just completely discredited your Brooke Shields argument HAHA. Let me be clear though, it’s has some sexual undertone to it but that doesn’t make it inherently bad. By comparing to Brooke, it has no relation because it’s an adult vs. child. Clearly the latter has severe ethical concerns. If you’re a snowflake though and self-conscious in your own skin, you might have issues with this too (which is incredibly sad).

Anonymous #86 6w

ALSO, u said in your original post “2/10 white boys” which is clearly a jab. So if you’re arguing against “eugenics” here, doesn’t your message clearly demonstrate eugenic ideas where you are discriminating against white guys and their biologically-set features (hence the 2/10 comment). That seems awfully contradictory to what you’re “fighting against.” This isn’t a one way street for you, does that make sense to you? So nice try with that complex of yours LOL

Anonymous #129 6w

while you’re right that Brooke Shields was 14 and Sydney Sweeney is an adult, they honestly shouldn’t have given any more life to that ad campaign and just let it fall into irrelevancy. it’s just in poor taste to remake it. it’s not inherently evil the way the Brooke Shields one was, but it’s just… kind of weird to bring it back

Anonymous #129 6w

that’s… not what eugenics is, no wonder you’re so stuck on Sydney Sweeney being attractive rather than her saying eugenicist nonsense

Anonymous #19 6w

It’s not even eugenic tho?? Like you clearly don’t know what that word means. She’s not selecting for specific traits to mate with someone to increase the survivability of specific phenotypes. That’s literally not happening here. Like Sydney has good “genes” (even though that word was never used in the campaign) in the same way that Beyoncé, Naomi Campbell, Halle Berry, etc. are beautiful; in the same way Salma Hayek, Penelope Cruz, Sofia Vergara, etc. are beautiful. It’s not a….

Anonymous #129 6w

…eugenics or race thing at all. Sydney is beautiful (I’m sure we can agree on that). But so are many other individuals of different genetic compositions. It doesn’t matter that she’s a white, blonde girls with big tits. A black, bald girl with small tits is just as beautiful. By trying to turn this into eugenics and a race argument fuels racial discrimination further in our society. And there’s no need for that. Does that make sense?

Anonymous #19 6w

If you’re talking abt my response to the other person, that’s not explicitly what eugenics is. But by her bringing in innate/biological traits that people can’t change and judging them, then that starts to fuel a eugenics argument.

Again, ur so stuck on fighting with the air about “owning the jealous ugly wiberals!😹” instead of hearing my specific point- yeah I made that “jab” as a response bc, like u, a lot of comments are just reducing any criticism to “ugly women mad cause she’s hot” instead of the points that the more genuine criticizers are trying to make. point of my og comment was that petty little internet arguments like this, that absolve the main point, are what American Eagle’s PR team is shifting to convo to

Anonymous #129 6w

The original criticism wasn’t even about eugenics, it’s about what the ad recreates. Once the outrage started, ppl started picking up on other things, like how the tone & person used to convey said message can come off in a lot of other distasteful ways too. Ppl clung onto that bc it can be argued/turned into certain arguments that the internet loves to have. mind u, women are always on the front lines defending her when her “fanboys” start discourses about Sydney being “ugly w no makeup” etc

you can think critically about the message that is being sent despite the pun

Um I’m not a Sabrina fan but like do u see how she acts on stage? She’s always made it very clear that she’s a grown woman who’s comfortable with being sensual, but she knows the line. Sabrina is what Sydney thinks she is
