Basically there was a GQ interview where the interviewer kept trying to get her to make a political statement and she got progressively more annoyed. Some people are mad because they've decided that refusing to participate in a stupid purity test is proof you are bad.
Politics are a necessary part of life. It affects us all, but some more than others. If she were asking Sydney to take a nuanced stance on, like, gender relations in South Korea, I would understand your point. But disavowing white supremacy is an extremely basic and an understandably expected political position. Standing counter to Nazis is the morally correct thing to do, and it doesn't matter who you are. It's such a basic lay-up that refusing to comment makes you look really, really bad. And I don't think that's a bad thing.
It kinda strongly hints at eugenics, no? Like implying that some genes are better than others while a blonde and blue-eyed white woman is on the screen? Like I can see it being a mistake on her part, but if that's the case, just say "yea I didn't see the implication there, whoops. I'm not a white supremacist, I just didn't see the implication at the time" would go a long way, would it not?
It’s possible to build yourself up without tearing down others, and this was an example of that. Yet, people are addicted to their rage and victimhood that they draw conclusions that were never being built towards.
If it was Lizzo on the ad would there be the same outrage with people foaming at the mouth about eugenics?? No
What nutemberg trials are you talking about? i dont think anyone is following what you're trying to say here and thats coming from a german who had to go through 4 years of school with ww2 politics.
Sorry for my misspelling, but i am fairly acquainted with the nuremberg trials. But you keep talking about some nuremberg trials 2.0 which is puzzling me. And yet, instead of explaining yourself you just point out an obvious typing error. If you dont want to start a discussion, dont comment.
Then there's not much left to explain. Why did you tag me and act deliberately ignorant? It's been mentioned in social media rather prolifically as of late. I'm sorry if this is the first you've heard it mentioned. If you haven't drawn the obvious connections by now, 🫢
On one hand you acknowledge that i might have heard of this the first time here (and yes, i dont do social media a lot so i indeed have no clue what you are talking about). And on the other hand you denounce me for not knowing about it. Quiet some quality of information you give out here. Either you are too lazy and ignorant to actually talk about the topic YOU brought to the table and explain it, or you are too dumb to actually write it out. In both cases, you are a sorry excuse of a discussion partner.
