the wordplay they used is referencing an old AE add w brooke schofield which in itself was controversial bc she was 14 giving an 8th grade science lesson. sydney’s was just weird especially yhe “my genes are blue” just bc you don’t think doesn’t mean there isn’t undertones and dog whistles. especially in trumps america and AE having a history w being racist and discriminatory
I did my senior project on Calvin Klein Brooke shields was a young actress/model who was the “most beautiful girl on earth” as young as 16 she was sexualized in a CK ad. She was sexualized through her whole career. One commercial she’s putting on jeans and talking about “genes” and evolution and selective mating. Literally what Sydney was referring to
Good genes is a Jean Brand yeah. But it doesn’t have anything to do w this conversation. One could say ur argument is a stretch as well. Because brand name has nothing to do w it. Sexual advertisement for jeans using the definition of genes is the comparison we are drawing. Also when looking up the advertisement for the CK ad there are comments talking about the AE ad
Also “doesn’t mean it is” it also doesn’t mean it isn’t. But you can’t sit here and say YOU CANT MAKE CONNECTIONS TO MEDIA!!! When you absolutely can. And I know right wing conspiracies. My parents are right wing flat earthers who drink borax and take horse dewormer. Me saying Sydney’s commercial is reminiscent of a controversial CK ad isn’t a conspiracy theory. It’s analyzing media
