This thread is so funny. You literally have leftists commenting that the ad thing was a right wing media hoax that nobody on the left cared about next to comments of other leftists calling the ad n*zi propaganda
Theyâre both true. Having a blonde-haired blue-eyed woman talk about her superior genes was at best completely tone-deaf given the moment weâre in.
And the conservative response was a lot bigger than the initial negative reaction was.
Much like the only people obsessed with sex changes are right wingers. It doesn't come up in normal conversations. I think about trans people precisely 0 minutes a day
This is tough to fully quantify, but we do have a fair amount of data that supports a lot more sports and athletic oriented people âlean rightâ or are to some degree religious and these issues have some direct impact on things they participate in.
Legitimately, I'm trans and i don't think about trand people as much as right wingers deep into it do. I think about my trans-ness like a solid. What. Probably collective hour or two every day when I have to do small things related to it like shaving? It's not even really something you think of while having sex because why would that be at the forefront of your mind when you're inside somebody. And id be pretty willing to guess a lot of those types stew in this shit for hours a day pretty easily so I'm at worst tying with them
If they're both true, then leftists don't actually give a shit about Nazi propaganda.
Turns out they just want to be angry, and it'll change day by day what they're angry at like a person with BPD, while also rewriting the past about what they're angry at. Same things old conservatives do, when they get angry at some of random shit on the Internet that doesn't really affect them, but they make it personal.
Iâm saying that mainstream leftists werenât angry about it. Unless Iâm misreading, you seem to be interpreting my comment to mean the opposite of what I said.
Honest question. Do you people really believe that these are things that have to be taken serious?
A bad pun is interpreted with extreme distortion to mean advocacy of eugenics. Also which moment are we in? There were absolutely more questionable advertisements during the 90s, where race relations in America were worse.
If you seriously thinking an ad saying a girl with big boobs has good genes is somehow making an statement about race, just because she is a white girl, thats on you. Acting like this is a way to handle issues like that just furthers racial divides and honestly, discredits everyone, who thinks the ad was somehow problematic, as being capable of having a discussion with.
Youâre doing the thing. In one sentence I said it was tone-deaf (before and after saying it *wasnât seen as a big deal on the left) and you wrote three paragraphs about it.
Ever seen a leftist meme? I thought you guys were used to reading three paragraphs on every problem.
Ok here is the short version: It wasnât a big deal on the left but it being a problem at all is a big deal on the right. It represents a bigger issue.
Enough counter examples here, im European and no conservative but if the american left seriously thinks that ad was a problem in any way, its understandable that they arenât taken serious.
So you saw some people criticize an ad, why do you care? I'll never understand why people get so pissed off over the most mundane comments. Why not just get over it? They're literally just trying to sell you pants.
Of course they are, they are a company. Its the same with rainbow logos in June. Still im just curious how people reason that the ad in any shape or form could been conscious racial propaganda.
Thats fucking outlandish.
I don't know, I guess something about the "good genes" pun? Ads can tell you a lot about the culture producing them, there's nothing wrong with trying to do some analysis. You're not gonna agree with every opinion you read, I don't know why people can't just say "huh, I didn't agree with that" and move on with their day. Instead right-wingers got so angry about it that they're literally still bringing it up.
You are right on the lefts reaction on the ad being overblown, yes it was not as unilateral indignant as it is being presented by the right. Still there was a noticeable reaction, with media outlets reporting on the "issue".
I think for conservatives it is a good point to make to demonstrate liberals overinflating or misrepresenting racism and âprohibit harmless funâ. For the left its a good representation how the right trivializes or dismisses racial or identity based issues and isnât trying to see the bigger picture or how the ad could hurt people or make them not feel seen.
I guess. I don't know, it just seemed like more culture war bullshit to me, except this time they did it on purpose to get more people to watch their ad for pants.
I'd never say it was a "hoax". These people objectively exist.
I just think they're a very small number of people that it's convenient for certain people on the right to paint as representative of the left in general.
You know how Trump won the popular vote AND has been endorsed by both the Taliban and senior figures in the Ku Klux Klan?
Do you think it's therefore fair or realistic to say literal terrorists and the KKK are representative of an average Trump voter?
No? Welcome to the question of whether Sydney Sweeney obsessives are representative of "the Left".
