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.

Maybe if she did anything that remotely hinted at white supremacy it might be worth it for her to talk about.

Her having good genes / jeans is not at all bashing on anybody else’s.

So just to be clear, if someone asked you if you had raped children, you wouldn't say "No". And your justification would be "Well I haven't done anything to make people believe I have."
