    I can’t believe the fuss being made over a euphemism for “this chick is hot”. It works for anyone of any race/gender. Hot is hot and “good genes” has been a not-so-subtle way of saying that for as long as I’ve been alive.

      But they didn’t use someone of any ethnicity. They used someone who, with some important historical context, looks like people that did some pretty nasty things while claiming to have superior genes. At a time, no less, when the USA is being accused of being captured by fascist and Nazi powers.

      Whether they meant it or not, that’s not a great look. That’s why it’s tone-deaf, at best, and a Nazi dog whistle at worst. But that’s kind of the rub about dog whistles, eh?

        I saw the ad, and I must say, this is the dumbest shit ever. Everyone who’s talking about this is fucking stupid. It’s a complete nothingburger, and likely a completely intentional viral marketing campaign.

        Talking about this dumb af nothingburger only benefits fascism.
