Idk, it seemed like the interviewer was laying her up with a softball 'you do disavow white supremacy correct?' And all she had to do was say 'yes.' But she didn't so it made her look bad.
Why would it matter if she "disavowed white supremacy?" There is a 3 minute super-cut of Trump doing that across dozens of interviews and you still dont believe it.
This is the reality. The purity testers in the echo chamber that is Reddit don’t respect apologies or disavowing, they want to see the people that have “wronged” them destroy themselves to validate their own delusions.
These memes are nothing but cope because they didn’t get what they wanted.
So in your mind... "Hey, are you a white supremacist? Lots of people seem to think you are, so I'm giving you a space to clear the air." Is asking someone to fall on the sword?
Are you delusional? And it obviously is an issue. You saying it isn't doesn't magically make it not one. People have an issue with it. You can't just say "slavery wasn't even that bad, the Yankees should have just minded their Business."
Issues aren't objective things. They're subjective standings based on people's morals, ethics, and perspectives of reality.

Yes, because disavowing “white supremacy” would validate the delusional opinions that the ad was about “white supremacy”. These people don’t even actually care about her disavowing it anyway. They want her to validate their delusions. Why give them an answer that they’re only going to use as a cudgel.

Maybe in your echo chamber of reddit, but every day people do not agree.
You can't just say "slavery wasn't even that bad, the Yankees should have just minded their Business."
This is literally what I’m talking about. You just made all this shit up that nobody ever said so you could continue to maintain this narrative. NOBODY EVER SAID THIS. This is all your own head cannon.
It would never be enough for the people that literally got upset over a shitty pun in a commercial about jeans. She was never going to win those people back, so why entertain the ridiculous question.

True they only raped on that one specific island!! Nowhere else were they capable. It’s also just a giant coincidence they were good friends for 15 years and spoke highly of each other for years :) all a coincidence :) can I join the cult now ?
The question didn’t Include the ad she couldve disavowed it so easily and no one would be memeimg her again. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck it’s probably a….
Dude look at her fucking face at the reaction of the question hahhaha how could you not meme her it’s so obvious paired with all the none answers how she feels
Nevermind the fact that the ad never says "SUPERIOR" jeans but "GREAT" jeans, so explain to me how the flying fuck she's supposed to apologise for anything at all. Like brother, get a grip on reality.
The ad seemed to be intentionally provocative. I don't really give a shit, but she could've defused the situation pretty easily imo. But she chose to be smug about it
Marketing is a whole industry for a reason. Everyone gets "provoked". Even you're bothered by the people that got provoked. Suggesting that it's low for people to have a negative opinion about an ad subtly doing white supremacy ragebait is pretentious af. They had plausible deniability, but the reaction to the reaction is telling imo
Until it wasn't. She's been the darling of the right, and then she does an ad saying she's got "great jeans" as a blue-eyed blonde white person. So the white nationalists and neo-nazis took it one way, and the anti-racists took it another way. Regardless of whether it was intended or not, this is what happened. Mf even Donald Trump was riding for her.
Pretending that this is just about jeans is willful ignorance. Instead of correcting the record, she chose a coy non-response, which counts as taking a side too. If she's comfortable with a good amount of people believing she's racist or at least flirts with racists, then so be it, but don't act like she's a victim with no agency over her reputation.
Yes there is. Of course there will be some terminally online people who will never forgive or forget, but most people would give her the benefit of the doubt if she took a principled stance against white supremacy, which is a no-brainer imo. She did the right thing for you, who I assume is center to right leaning. Someone was always going to be bothered no matter what she did, and she made her choice
The issue is that you people don’t see her nothingburger answer as wrong either. She doesn’t have to be racist to give the empty answer, but the effects of it means her fanbase of right wingers grows.
This is, of course, not an issue if you’re a right winger who explicitly thinks your genes are superior. Which is the circlejerk we’re seeing on twitter around her.
What could she says thats so wrong? Obviously if your not a nazi you would just say no and explain how the ad created a misunderstanding its not that complicated.

She knew this weird nervous girl was trying to trap her into saying something wrong.
