I defended Sydney Sweeney’s last ad. I won’t defend this one
When American Eagle released its “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans” campaign last year, I found the outrage ridiculous.
TL;DR
- The author found the outrage over the American Eagle "Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans" campaign ridiculous.
- They liked seeing a beautiful woman presented as beautiful without apology.
- The author appreciated Sweeney's refusal to participate in a ritual of apologizing for imaginary cultural offenses.
- Despite initial defense, the author will not defend this ad.
