Azath Vitr (D, on 29 July 2025 - 01:02 PM, said:
A large percentage---perhaps the majority?---of the people complaining would object to anything endorsing the idea of "great genes". Especially those who denounce it as "eugenics" based on the idea that selecting for particular genes is bad (unless it's pure natural selection?), and selecting for genes associated with particular beauty standards is extremely bad (so sexual selection is evil?...).
Putting eugenics into scare quotes and downplaying why this ad campaign is a racist dog whistle is certainly a choice Azath.
Also what is sexual selection? dafuq?
Azath Vitr (D, on 29 July 2025 - 01:02 PM, said:If the owner of the company really is a MAGA quasi-Neo-Nazi then the leftist backlash may be doing them more benefit than harm, because most Americans will probably assume it's a "woke" overreaction.
Two things...1. Assuming that the left should care what the unhinged MAGAts think, when they lost their collective shit because a trans person endorsed a shit beer they like and a lot of those men can't sort out why they are attracted to trans women so they lash out and destroy beer cases THEY bought...is wild. 2. Backlash affecting billionaire's bottom line, especially billionaires who need the brand to surface after being underwater for a decade....MAGAts are vocal, but they are still a minority and they do not shop at overpriced teen retailers.
Azath Vitr (D, on 29 July 2025 - 01:02 PM, said:OTOH there is that video---which "now seems to be hidden on American Eagle's YouTube account"---where she says, "My genes are blue".
This is actually more problematic due to the "Blue blood" being considered racial superiority/nobility not blue eyes. -

Netflix has dropped their first cast photo from their new PRIDE & PREJUDICE adaptation...and it looks fine, the cast largely looks fine (I think Olivia Coleman will be a revelation as Mrs. Bennet; and Jack Lowden will make a splendid Mr. Darcy...oh and the brilliant Fiona Shaw as Lady Catherine De Burgh!)....the only person I'm concerned about is Emma Corrin.
I like her somewhat, and felt she did an admirable job as Diana in THE CROWN, but I didn't like her in NOSFERATU (but then I hated that whole ass movie), and her role in DP&W was so sparing that it's hard to judge. Lizzie needs a certain personality to sell her...and I dunno if Emma has it...that said, I'll watch becuase P&P is one of my fave period stories and likely in my top 2 Austen books...so it's neither here nor there, I'll have to wait and see.

Tiste Simeon, on 29 July 2025 - 12:13 PM, said:Has she torched her career though? I bet she still gets plenty of roles. People want to see her. Admittedly, a lot of people who really want to see her so so because of her looks & boobs (I'd advise against comment sections on just about any platform event sure is featured! The amount of pervy horny dudes...) but I'm guessing she will be fine.
I think two things will work against her. Hollywood plays identity politics well, and she will be persona non-grata in a lot of circles due to this...and when the political pendulum swings (and it will swing; it always does) back to the left she will have to answer for doing it.
You could be right though, and she skates by as these people often do.
But imagine her showing to for work on a new season of EUPHORIA and having to explain herself to Zendaya and Alexa Demie...Ooof, I would not want to be in that room. -
