Explained: Why Sydney Sweeney's new American Eagle ad is being called 'fascist' and 'Nazi'- and being labelled 'white supremacist'
Godwin's law states that any internet discussion will always veer towards someone making a comparison with Nazi or Hitler. And now that 4chan/Reddit ailment has escaped into the real world. A denim ad meant to celebrate American style has instead ignited a firestorm online, with critics accusing American Eagle and actress Sydney Sweeney of peddling "Nazi fascist" propaganda through a campaign that plays on the phrase 'great genes'—a pun some say dangerously echoes eugenic and white supremacist ideals. TL;DR Sydney Sweeney stars in a new American Eagle ad campaign with the tagline: 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans.' The campaign includes a video where Sweeney crosses out the word 'genes' and replaces it with 'jeans.' Online critics say the ad is coded with racial overtones and liken it to white supremacist propaganda. Accusations include promoting eugenic ideals and glorifying 'white genes.' Neither Sweeney nor American Eagle has responded to the growing backlash. What's in the ad? The ad, part of American Eagle's new denim campaign, features 27-year-old Euphoria actress Sydney Sweeney in a distinctly Americana setting—fixing her car, slipping into the driver's seat, all while sporting a pair of jeans. The tagline reads: 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans.' A follow-up video posted to American Eagle's Instagram shows Sweeney approaching a billboard with the phrase 'great genes.' She strikes out the word 'genes' with red paint and replaces it with 'jeans.' A cheeky wordplay, right? Not according to a growing number of online critics. Why are people calling it 'Nazi propaganda'? T by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Up to 70% off | Libas Purple Days Sale Libas Undo he criticism stems from the historical baggage tied to the phrase 'great genes.' According to a widely circulated Salon article, the expression has long been associated with white supremacist ideals—used to promote whiteness, thinness, and eurocentric beauty standards. The problem, critics argue, is that when the phrase is paired with Sweeney—a blue-eyed, blonde-haired woman often labelled the embodiment of 'classic American beauty'—it begins to resemble eugenic messaging. 'A blonde haired blue eyed white woman is talking about her good genes—that is Nazi propaganda,' said one viral TikTok user. The visual of Sweeney crossing out 'genes' and writing 'jeans' has also been read as symbolic—an attempt to deflect or mock the implications of genetic superiority while simultaneously reinforcing them. What are people saying online? Social media backlash has been fierce and fast: On X (formerly Twitter): 'The Sydney Sweeney American Eagle jeans ad is NAZI propaganda, and you're a fascist if you don't agree.' 'They could've gotten a beautiful Black woman to do this ad, but they picked a yt [white] woman instead…' 'American Eagle needs to delete those Sydney Sweeney ads. They are genuinely scary.' On TikTok: Several creators have posted explainers breaking down the 'dog whistles' embedded in the ad, referencing how similar language was used in Nazi Germany and, more recently, in far-right political circles to celebrate white dominance. But is this really that deep? That's the cultural debate now unfolding. On one hand, the campaign is clearly playing on a pun—'genes' and 'jeans.' On the other, when those words are paired with an image of a conventionally white American beauty and a brand literally called American Eagle, the symbolism feels more loaded than cheeky. Whether or not the messaging was intentional, critics argue that intent doesn't negate impact—especially when mass-market fashion ads operate in an ecosystem shaped by decades of race, class, and beauty privilege. Have American Eagle or Sydney Sweeney responded? No. As of July 28, 2025, neither the actress nor the brand has issued a public statement addressing the controversy. American Eagle's Instagram post remains live, though comments appear to be limited or heavily moderated. Has the campaign affected the brand? Ironically, while the backlash raged online, the campaign did boost business. According to reports, American Eagle saw a 4% spike in shares after the ad dropped. But social goodwill may have taken a hit. Gen Z and millennial consumers—core demographics for American Eagle—have increasingly shown a preference for socially conscious branding, and this incident could create longer-term reputational risks. Why is Sydney Sweeney often controversial? This isn't the first time the actress has found herself in political hot water. Sweeney previously drew criticism in 2022 when photos surfaced from her mother's 60th birthday party, where guests were seen in red hats that looked like MAGA caps. The hats actually read 'Make Sixty Great Again,' a pun on her mother's milestone birthday, but many on the internet interpreted it as a pro-Trump statement. The actress denied any political affiliations at the time, saying the celebration was not intended to be political, but the incident left the internet keeping a close eye on her public image. In this case, it's less about what Sweeney has said and more about what her image represents in the broader cultural landscape. FAQs Q: What's wrong with the phrase 'great genes'? A: It has historical ties to eugenics and white supremacy, especially when used to describe blonde, blue-eyed, Eurocentric beauty as inherently superior. Q: Was this ad intentionally fascist? A: That's debatable. There's no proof of intent—but critics argue that the visual and verbal cues, even if unintentional, mirror fascist aesthetics and ideas. Q: Why hasn't the ad been pulled? A: American Eagle has yet to respond. The company may be weighing whether the controversy helps or hurts brand visibility in the long run. Q: Is Sydney Sweeney responsible? A: That depends on how much creative input she had. While she starred in the ad, the brand and agency are ultimately responsible for messaging and design. Bottom line: In the age of internet hyper-literacy, ads don't live in a vacuum. Whether by accident or design, this campaign has stirred up a hornet's nest about race, beauty, and nationalism—and no one involved seems ready to put out the fire.

(Image via @loloverruled/Instagram) Internet personality and frequent HasanAbi guest, Alex aka 'Loloverruled,' has become the focus of explosive online controversy this week. Known for his appearances during HasanAbi's Twitch streams, the influencer is now under fire after multiple women came forward with unsettling allegations. The situation has rapidly escalated on social media, with screenshots, personal testimonies, and commentary flooding platforms like X and Reddit. Loloverruled faces backlash after disturbing claims surface on X On July 28, 2025, X user @KatanaSpeaks released a detailed thread that included screenshots and claims from several people accusing Loloverruled of being a 'sex pest and serial abuser.' The thread quickly made waves, leading to speculation and backlash directed at the influencer, who has since locked his account. — Awk20000 (@Awk20000) Screenshots included in the thread reportedly show Loloverruled describing his sexual experiences in graphic detail, using language that many users found alarming and inappropriate. One of the now-viral posts referenced an out-of-body experience during a sexual act, drawing bizarre comparisons to Leonardo DiCaprio, a detail that turned the thread into a hotbed of disbelief and memes. More individuals speak out with screenshots and disturbing anecdotes Shortly after the thread went live, other X users began posting their own stories. @J3ssicaStarling claimed to have seen video evidence of Loloverruled sending sexually explicit content to sex workers on social media. Another user, @bustitopen420, alleged that the influencer contacted her after she wore his merchandise. She claims he then sent her explicit photos and asked for her STD test results, a claim that quickly shocked many of his followers. The post gained even more traction when Ethan Klein (@h3h3productions) shared it on his Instagram story, writing, 'Hasan's best friend just outted as a freak - Lolo? More like uh-oh.' Community response divided as influencer locks his account With Loloverruled disappearing from public view, the internet rushed to react. His account, now private, left many wondering if a public statement would ever come. But earlier this week, the influencer posted a cryptic message saying he's currently undergoing outpatient therapy and is 'mulling over' whether to speak publicly. HasanAbi subreddit reacts with mixed opinions The drama quickly spilled into HasanAbi's fan subreddit, r/Hasan_Piker. Some users voiced concern and called for accountability, while others cautioned against rushing to judgment, especially with Ethan Klein involved. As more voices continue to emerge and scrutiny mounts, the future of Loloverruled's online presence, and his standing within HasanAbi's inner circle, remains uncertain. Whether fans believe the allegations or not, the story of Loloverruled has dominated online conversations. Between X threads, locked accounts, and shady screenshots, it's become one of those internet moments that keeps unfolding, and keeps people watching.
