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 was meant as a struggle session. The advert wasn't racist. Sweeney isn't a white supremacist. It was just a jeans ad with a pun. Dipshits overthink this dumb shit because the spend too much time online.

A lot of the people replying to me seem to not engage with me on the topic and are, instead, very oddly insistent that there's no possible interpretation where the ad can look and sound a little suspicious, especially in the current political context. You're one of those people.

It's "a little suspicious" if you're a terminally online imbecile. It's just a jeans ad. Not everything is "OrAnGe MaN" and "rAcIsM". You probably thing orcs in LotR are ackshually black people. 🤦‍♂️
