The liberal mob is having another epic meltdown over a simple jeans ad. This time they are losing their minds because actress Sydney Sweeney appeared in an American Eagle commercial with blonde hair and blue eyes. The ad used the harmless tagline “Sydney Sweeney has great jeans” as a play on words about clothing and good genes.
Social media warriors are now calling this innocent marketing campaign “Nazi propaganda” and “tone-deaf.” They are literally comparing a clothing advertisement to Hitler because it features an attractive blonde woman. The outrage reached peak insanity when critics complained about close-up shots of Sweeney’s blue eyes in the commercial.
These same people who preach tolerance and acceptance cannot handle seeing natural beauty celebrated in advertising. They demand that every commercial feature their preferred diversity checklist instead of simply showcasing attractive models. When companies dare to feature conventionally beautiful people, the woke police immediately cry racism and fascism.
The backlash shows how completely unhinged the left has become about basic biology and beauty standards. Normal Americans are not offended by seeing a pretty blonde actress sell jeans with a clever pun. Only the perpetually outraged activist class finds something sinister in this perfectly normal advertisement.
Meanwhile, American Eagle’s stock price jumped nearly 20 percent since launching the campaign. This proves that regular consumers support companies that refuse to bow down to cancel culture demands. The market rewards businesses that ignore social media mobs and focus on selling products to actual customers.
The controversy reveals the cultural pendulum swinging back toward sanity and away from woke virtue signaling. Companies are finally learning that catering to Twitter activists does not translate into profits. Smart brands are choosing to appeal to mainstream Americans instead of a tiny but loud minority of complainers.
This manufactured outrage perfectly demonstrates why conservatives have been warning about the dangers of woke ideology. The left cannot even tolerate a jeans advertisement without finding hidden meanings and evil intentions. Their constant search for racism and oppression has made them see Nazis everywhere, even in clothing commercials.
American Eagle deserves credit for standing firm against this ridiculous backlash. They refused to apologize for featuring an attractive spokesperson or using a harmless play on words. This kind of backbone is exactly what more companies need to show when facing manufactured controversies from the outrage mob.
