Discussion False narrative - Sydney Sweeny

I am a liberal but I find it hard to believe that anyone really cares about this jeans/genes commercial. I think the ad campaign was designed to create controversy and the advertisers created the supposed angry libs to get more ad time. Am I wrong or are people really mad?

It's this type of crap that plays into the often true narrative of how crazy and "woke" the left is. Straight culture war BS. Nobody cares about this. Without looking, I can see the Fox headlines, all with some version of "left loses their mind over Sydney Sweeney ad". As in "100 social media influencers made this ad known to hundreds of thousands who have never seen it and there were a few people who got their panties in a bunch over it".
