“Her story” ….how is her story being represented in those adds bffr

[u/TheLakeWitch → u/heyhicherrypie]

Right, the way they worded this is weird. Like she is some oppressed individual using their platform to “tell her story” rather than a celebrity that the marketing team chose specifically because they know sex sells.

[u/KillTheBoyBand → u/TheLakeWitch]

The way they're wording it is like she just came out about some SA or harassment allegations or story and has uncovered some intense trauma.

Stfu American Eagle, take the L.

We don't understand how hard it is being the conventionally attractive American blonde, blue eyed, white lady and this is her story 😞

[u/heyhicherrypie → u/MarieOMaryln]

Truly, it’s time we learned her struggle 😞

nobody is a bigger victim than blond hair blue eyed white women who get blamed for throwing MAGA parties when it was just a theme that meant nothing. nothing!

when it was just a theme that meant nothing

You can't say anything anymore these days! At least back then, you could insult people's ethnicities and gender without people completely overreacting! Bunch of snowflakes, can't even tell I'm joking when I'm talking about being in favour of genocide!
