Its best to avoid praising certain people for having good genes because then you have to accept people have bad genes and that brings us down a road of eugenics. 

It's so easy to be "hey Sydney sweeney is fucking hot and so are our jeans"

I'm saying you bringing up DV part of the campaign was irrelevant because it doesn't mean that the campaign cannot be criticised, to me that's a weird thing to say. 

I totally understand the point of the campaign that it's a silly play on words, but the optics of it is pretty tone deaf and I'm surprised that this made it through the screening process. 

Like just because I understand the point doesn't mean it can't be weird and inappropriate, for example this old Sony ad 

Slippery slope fallacy.  

Also there is this: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DMdIuUoRYAL/

I never said it could not be criticized I said you were missing the point.  Did you even know about the DV angle before I mentioned it?  Speak true. 

Posting again instead of editing, for context, this thread was how I found out about the campaign and it's controversy, I didn't realise how bad it was until I saw the comments on the reel you linked.

I know popular opinion isn't a metric for being correct but given it's a social media campaign it's clear theres 2 options here:

1. This was accidental and they didn't anticipate the blowback = they goofed.

2. This was on purpose to profit on controversy meaning everything I'm saying Is wrong with the campaign is intentional and not made up.
