The reaction of the far left to the infamous Sydney Sweeney American Eagle ad campaign was, to say the least, absurd. . leftists know it .. they’re not desperately trying to rewrite history and claim they were never bothered by the ad in the first place, and the whole thing was a right-wing fabrication.
This attempt at rewriting history comes courtesy of the New York Times, and it’s a perfect example of Orwellian revisionist history. The article begins by recounting conservatives mocking the left’s reaction to the ad campaign, insisting that they “claimed that progressives were up in arms over the intentional double-entendre with the word ‘genes,’ suggesting it was winking at eugenics or white supremacy,” before declaring definitively that “In reality, most progressives weren’t worked up much at all.”
...
the two key conservative culprits the left blames for amplifying the Sweeney ad campaign outrage didn't even start talking about it until after both Salon and MSNBC had already been talking about it.
The left-wing media didn’t just notice the outrage; it legitimized it, amplified it, and blasted it into the mainstream. Leftists didn’t roll their eyes or dismiss it; they doubled down. And now that the outrage has become politically inconvenient, they are gaslighting you. The left is rewriting the narrative to suggest that it never really cared in the first place. But the receipts tell a different story: this wasn’t a handful of fringe voices that conservatives were amplifying. This was a wave of leftist outrage, with left-wing media fueling and promoting it, that turned into a full-scale campaign to cancel Sydney Sweeney and American Eagle.
It’s a textbook example of how leftists operate. When the backlash becomes politically toxic, they don’t own up to it; they scramble to backtrack, rewrite history, and pretend it never happened.

Sweeney’s Baskin Robbin ad is worth watching...
Everyone I know is getting a big kick out of the left’s outrage and the homely women who are whining on the internet.
I must be the only person on the face of the planet who doesn’t think she’s all that pretty.
When it comes to the American Eagle ad, I'd agree. In the Baskin Robbins ad, it starts out with a soft focus ice cream spoof of Paris Hilton, but in the "reality" shots she comes across as a really sweet kid, and in that light she's beautiful.
I believe that is what makes her so attractive.
Her beauty is not artificial or excessive. Very natural “girl next door” with an exceptional figure.
As a matter of fact, you are.
Oceania has always had good relations Sydney Sweenia!
with Sydney Sweenia!
Sydney Sweeney’s ad shows an unbridled cultural shift toward whiteness
Advertisements are always mirrors of society, and sometimes what they reflect is ugly and startling

**Her beauty is not artificial or excessive. Very natural “girl next door” with an exceptional figure.**
An accurate description of the girl I married 47 years ago next tuesday. And though 68 now, she still has her hourglass figure, and her 3 and a half feet long hair is only about 10% gray, giving her light brown hair a blonde tint (its marvelous).

Sydney Sweeney showed off her skills at the gun range.
As if we don’t have enough reasons to love her.

Whatever is someone's preference / opinion, what really tweaks the Left, especially the Feminazis, is that she is happy and smiling. The Party of Hate hates itself, and by extension, everyone else. Someone happy and smiling must be taken down.
The fact that she is blonde and blue eyed just increases their hatred.
How dare she!
No, you’re not...Glad you said it!!
I think it’s fantastic that the left has jumped the shark. They deserve only ridicule. They never were serious.
Watch them stomp their tiny feet and shake their little fists as they eat our dust. Sorry, not sorry.
A lot of movement but what did she hit?
