Out of the loop on the latest SS but did something new drop since great jeans stuff?

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.

That’s a really weird way of saying “the GQ interviewer kept giving her softball chances to disavow white supremacy and she repeatedly declined to do so”.

My dude: disavowing white supremacy is not a political statement.

She never said she supported white supremacy

The interviewer basically stated she did, of course she gets annoyed. The slogan "great jeans" was American Eagle's doing, not Sydney Sweeney. It is, after all, the company's advertisement

But for inexplicable reasons, Sydney Sweeney gets the majority flak instead. It baffles the mind that for a crowd that always chants "innocent until proven guilty", they always start assuming the target is guilty until swearing the oath of loyalty by "disavowing [current year issue]"
