she's the darling of white nationalists on the internet & she knows it... she sold them her bathwater. they proclaim this campaign is for gen z- that's the target demo. not women

they all knew exactly what they were doing

no idea why everyone here was so ready to accept the right wing framing here

I feel like this still seems tame compared to how people are characterizing this until you consider the significance of her celebrity in the demo this is winking at.

ie- young, white, far-right men who have quite literally spent the last 3 years lauding her as their "aryan princess".
A tweet by @RichardHanania reading "Wokeness is dead." alongside a 13 second clip of Sweeney on SNL. She is wearing a black dress with a plunging neckline, showing a large amount of cleavage. This tweet is quoted by twitter user @BigRedCeltTT who writes: "To the right “woke or wokeness” is anything that is not blonde & haired blue eyed. No hate to Sydney Sweeney, but the right is going to try & meme her. Her PR reps need to do something before they taint her image by making her their poster girl for the Aryan Nation Barbie meme." A tweet by Richard Hanania reading "Sydney Sweeney is officially aware of the discourse. We can now consider her triumph over wokeness to be a a deliberate act." alongside a screenshot of an instagram post of her in a grey sweatshirt with black ink that reads "SORRY FOR HAVING GREAT TITS" above a graphic of a girl playing jump rope.

starting the press release with "honoring [denim] heritage" and a "return to essential denim dressing", LinkedIn post by a marketing VP in which she explicitly lauds the "culture shaping power" of the double meaning behind the campaign, prompting the reader to check their socials to see proof. etc.

there are so many little nazi winks placed throughout this. in the press release, in now-deleted posts from their marketing execs, it's in the shots they chose, it's in the copy, it's in the delivery. it's everywhere.

many of these people havent even seen much if any the content for themselves.

lol give me a break bro. the "pro-trans" community, do you mean the *trans* community?

when people were fighting for marriage equality did you talk about the "pro-gay" community? 🙄

trans people are just PEOPLE. not an abstract political issue

this is such a blinkered take
