I've been thinking a lot about the Sydney Sweeney American Eagle controversy lately. Because as the year draws to a close, I think it says something important about the world we're now in.
For those who missed it: back in July, American Eagle released a campaign with the tagline "Sydney Sweeney has great jeans". The pun on genes/jeans was accompanied by the actor discussing hereditary traits whilst the camera lingered on her face.
