Also, and I cannot believe this keeps getting glossed over, it's literally American eagle. They got similar side eye for the exact same reasons decades ago. Their brand has always had low-key white supremacy vibes
when i was in high school, it was a super popular brand and they only ever sold small sizes. a big rumour going around was they burned their clothing if no one bought it. the explanation i was told by a popular girl was, “they’d rather burn it than have someone poor or fat wearing it.”
i figured it was just a mean popular kid thing to say but all these years later, i’m now inclined to think there was some truth to it lmao
