| The histrionics in the tread are off the charts. |
We are all disturbed by the quick movement back to the 1920s and eugenics combined with the 1970s / 1980s sex sells imagining. Does American Eagle have an 85 year old creating their ideas for them? Because it looks like someone Trumps age or older designed this ad. |
The MAGA hypocrisy propaganda machine is absolutely bonkers. People say something that MAGA disagrees with and they’re hyper-sensitive and overreacting. Meanwhile, the MAGA propagandists feed a constant diet of outrage to the MAGA-ites. They can spin out over Starbucks cup, being wished Happy Holidays, and lies about stolen elections, but express concern about the rising influence of white supremacy in this country? Clearly unhinged. Srsly, I’m just capable of rational thought and able to point out hypocrisy when I see it. |

Just to be clear, there would be no issue with this ad if it was a Black, Latina, Asian model?
And it would be celebrated if it was a Tans model. Right? That would make it cool and edgy. Applauded. |
I’m a Democrat who desperately wants to win a national election again and who despises Trump, and there is literally nothing rational whatsoever about your hyperventilating about an ad for jeans featuring an attractive woman. You are equivalent to MAGA in your lack of rationality, in fact. |

Sure you are Independent |
| I’m more bothered by the way she talks in that stupid ad. Whyyyyy do so many young women talk like this?!?!? |
Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, advocated and lobbied for eugenics. In fact, her basis for founding planned parenthood was her belief in eugenics. |
I do think the reference to good genes with a model who looks like a poster child for the Nazis is uniquely eyebrow raising. Honestly, if it were a non-white model, it would hit differently because of the lack of association with historical eugenics beliefs/Nazism. If it were that or a bunch of different (all hot) models with at least one non-white model? I don't think the dog whistle would be there. All that said, I don't think there's anything offensive about the ad per se. However, I think it's in poor taste given historic realities and I *absolutely* wonder about the folks who green lit it, because I cannot imagine no one picked up on it at all. |
DCUM is the most ridiculous bubble. |
New poster who agrees. You all look ridiculous having a tantrum over a jeans ad - just as maga does over “happy holidays.” |
As I said, sure you are |
Agreed, and the reference to “happy holidays” is a good analogy. |
That outrage seems to have driven the Evangelicals to Trump. Why not the other way too? |
