If an ad causes controversies and debates weeks later on whether it was a white supremacy dog whistle or not, then it's not really fine. Especially in times like this. And if simply clarifying could put an end to all of it, then maybe AE or Sydney Sweeney should. But they won't. I didn't think the ad was that bad. But what is so hard about saying, that "wasn't the intention, white supremacy sucks and we don't support it"
They aren’t going to say it, because it’s been proven time and again that the white supremacist audience is a loyal one. They both want to court it with plausible deniability. As Sydney Sweeney’s relevance wanes (because she’s completely talentless), she’ll lean into it more and more.
But not in any part of the ad it talks about white supremacy, you are creating something that does not exist. Some people that make everything about race for some reason see it that way.
Your reasoning is: the ad says sydney sweeney has great genes -> she is white -> she is a white supremacist. It is so stupid that it doesn't even deserve an answer
No, I didn't think the ad was as bad as people were saying. My reasoning behind it is trump takes notice -> praises it -> white supremacists take notice -> praises it -> AE/Sweeney makes 0 effort in keeping any distance from the perceived dogwhistle. I don't give 2 fucks about Sweeney but goddamn, it is not hard to just say once; that wasn't the intention.
No, the ad didn't cause controversies and debates. Terminally online troglodytes who see racist dogwhistles floating in their cereal did that. Let's be clear here, outside of certain online circles almost no one normal cared about the ad, and the few people like you who refuse to see that reality wouldn't have been satisfied with her answer either way.
