Companies will love diversity when it gets them the most money. For entities that only respond to customers purchasing products, there is only virtue signaling, never any actual moral stances. If they think they can market to eugenicists openly in this political climate they will. Your money and their money are no different to them.
And that makes things better how? She still gave a eugenics dog whistle for a company in an era of out and proud fascism. I'm sorry you can't hear a dog whistle, but the dogs and the people who know their playbook certainly do.
A denim ad where blonde hair blue eyed Sydney Sweeney says this while text reading "she has good jeans" flashes on screen. It's a huge dog whistle playing on eugenic ideas for laughs, allowing the ignorant and fascist alike to dismiss it as just a joke (which fascists like couch fucker were more than happy to do)
Because dismissing people complaining about the normalization of bigoted pseudoscience is fucked up. You had to claim people were taking things "to extremes" when you didn't know the context of what you were talking about. I don't care that you didn't watch the fascist ad, I care that you're dismissing people with genuine concerns.
I'd rather know that what she said wasn't eugenics propaganda than dismiss it outright like people here seem to do. There's nothing wrong with a lingerie hooker, but everything wrong with a eugenicist
It makes perfect sense when you see the billionaires as lords and Trump as king. It's a feudal kingdom ruled by royals, not a nation with laws. That's just how it is now.
No, 2024 was the last chance to stop Trump. There is no electoral solution to a fascist dictatorship. The only thing you can do in the midterms is get people who won't meekly give in to every abuse of power, or who will rebuild after Trump dies instead of giving all control to oligarchs. We cannot end this nightmare unless Trump is dead, as he will never leave his new throne alive.
From the ad: "Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color. My jeans are blue."
A dumb pun at best?
I'm less outraged and more sad that eugenics is seen as comparably dumb to be mad about to a trans woman with a custom beer can. Most ads already push harmful shit by their very nature, but a company feeling free to riff on white supremacist pseudo science shows how successfully the Overton window has been moved.
I personally think people are in denial about how fucked things are. They're focusing on inane shit that will lead nowhere because it's all their brains are trained to handle. Screw Trump followers waking up, liberals haven't even woken up to liberalism being destroyed right in front of them.
So he distracts from previous crimes by doing current, arguably worse crimes? He's making it legal to torture immigrant kids, but somehow the kids Epstein hurt in the past require more attention?
The two men were once at the top of that career, but graphic designers of outrageous adverts for products bought by questionable consumers were the easiest to be replaced by AI obsessed capitalists. Unfortunately, this left roommates David and Tony two months behind on their rent and without money to replace their broken AC on the hottest year on record for the 9th consecutive year. Sweaty and broke, the two burly men will soon realize that the only thing they can really count on is each other...
