> It's like when you see headlines claiming "people" are outraged by a jeans advertisement. Are they really? Who? How many? Really I think it's just something to argue about for entertainment's sake.

The media activist classes were absolutely genuinely offended by it; here are two mainstream pieces from July 28th, five days after the ad campaign launched:

The Washington Post discussing how the ad's tagline reminded them of "the DHS Instagram account, which posted a subtly racist painting a few weeks ago and an explicitly racist painting last week":

An MSNBC opinion piece, by an MSNBC producer: "Sydney Sweeney's ad shows an unbridled cultural shift toward whiteness":

https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/sydney-sweeney-a...

"The advertisement, the choice of Sweeney as the sole face in it and the internet’s reaction reflect an unbridled cultural shift toward whiteness, conservatism and capitalist exploitation. Sweeney is both a symptom and a participant."

Aren't like MSNBC and CNBC part of the same group? isn't CNBC a news channel about capitalism and the free market?

I find it so odd when billion dollar corporations publish pieces like that... like, can't you first look in the mirror? this weird alliance between economic liberalism and that neo marxist intersectionality is so... hypocritical...
