Sydney Sweeney’s Jeans

I’m just reading about the controversy over the Sydney Sweeney jeans advert and wondered what others thought about it.

AIBU to think it’s completely absurd?

It’s a play on the word jeans. It’s probably also a reference to the fact she’s attractive. I don’t think it’s offensive, or supportive of eugenics, or “fascist”.

Surely this is just people finding offence in anything?

Happy to be convinced otherwise.

But let’s hope the vast majority of people know that you end a sentence with a full stop not a comma hey.

Wow, you got me on a punctuation typo.

You win EVERYTHING.

Happy now?

I think that it is a backlash to the subversion of the beauty standard that has been going on for the last 10 years, like Dylan Mulvaney promoting sports bra's and leggings for Nike (below)
Sydney Sweeney is the girl next door image and not with big botox lips and lots of plastic surgery and so it seems unusual in 'these times'.
