As the New York Times just reported, the actual numbers show that almost no one was criticizing Sydney Sweeney for her American Eagle ad.
But Libs of TikTok decided to pretend that lefties were angry. A story about supposed leftist outrage was concocted out of thin air by liars.
leftist here. basically challenging white supremacy is the order of the day, and being loud about it is fine.
they get mighty triggered and a hot dog hollers, which is the actual f story, not “they made it up”
an aryan type having “good genes” should receive more condemnation than it did
No one is talking about this but the right.
They do love making shit up to pretend to be victims about though.
Someone called her a Midwest 7 and I can’t unsee it.
Chaya Raichik IS Libs of Tik Tok. Know her NAME. She targets & abuses LGBTQ+ children, encourages attacks against them, wishes them dead. CHAYA RAICHIK deserves no peace.
What I don't get is everyone talking about a white woman with blue eyes, because I clearly see a blue woman with gold eyes
Eh, it's a dogwhistle. Her mother didn't pass along her jeans. The people who needed to hear it, did.
And all the usual suspects ran with it.
Is this any surprise from the people who have been giving us the fictional liberal "War On Christmas" for the past 20 years?
It’s always the left this , the left that It’s alway total made up bullshit
Figures
I’d never heard of this person until a week ago
Cracks are gonna crack… even over jeans! 👖
Thank you. Just as I suspected.
Each and every single word of that add is literally true.
There were a few people offering nuanced takes about beauty standards and racialized aesthetics and a very small number of outraged people. But there was no mass rage at American Eagle or Sweeney.
But inventing liberal outrage is what Republican media do best.
Only in 'Murica, the land of the stupid.
It’s offensive.
The right wing will continue to manufacture culture wars and throw "controversies" at the wall to see which sticks in the hope it will distract people from Epstein.
I still have no clue who Sydney Sweeney and no idea what the American Eagle ad is about.
I have whatever the opposite feeling of FOMO is.
i suspect this has happened with so-called 'left wing discourse' over and over again for years, maybe decades
