According to a poll my YouGov and The Economist, 12% of Americans from their sample of 1635 adults found the ad offensive.

That might not sound like a lot, but for that much of the population to be so radicalized by ideological hysteria that they see Nazism in an ad for jeans is pretty concerning and shows how much people's brains have been rotted by so many years of culture war rubbish.

Clever-39%

Offensive-12%

Neither-40%

Not Sure-8%

Also, the question doesn’t refer to Nazism at all, it just asks if it’s offensive or not. It’s very possible much of that 12% find it offensive without thinking it’s promoting Nazis.

Like it could simply be that some people wish it featured people of different races and body types without instantly jumping to NAZIS!!!!

Fair, but I would argue that being offended by that is just as stupid and ridiculous.
