“That’s Nazi propaganda.”

“This is a whole Eugenics campaign!

This is how left-wing TikTok influencers described a jeans commercial in videos that have since received millions of views. Yes, a jeans commercial. 

The source of all this controversy? Well, American Eagle dared to partner with actress Sydney Sweeney for a commercial where the blue-eyed, blonde bombshell says:

“Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color. My jeans are blue.”

Then, the voiceover comes in: “Sydney Sweeney has great jeans.” (She is, of course, wearing branded American Eagle jeans). 

Get it? It’s a pun. Apparently, according to left-wing internet discourse, it’s actually Nazi propaganda and…literal eugenics. 

Mega-viral TikTok videos with millions of views are, in near-unison, accusing American Eagle and Sydney Sweeney of "Nazi shit," "fascist propaganda," and "literal Eugenics."

… over a jeans commercial that made a pun about "genes" and "jeans."........
