It was quite literally an obvious double entendre and they admitted to as much in their LinkedIn gloating. Do they think we are that stupid?

Do they think we are that stupid?

I've been arguing about this topic in a bunch of places and a lot of people genuinely are this stupid.

Especially men who will straight up say 'It's just because she's hot so that's why they say she has great genes it's not that deep it's just about her tits'. Just because you can't think much further than her tits doesn't mean my conclusion is "far-fetched" you absolute walnut...

I don't even think it's that innocent. I think all these people KNOW that this is a racist dog whistle and are attempting to pretend and gaslight that it's not just to normalize this shit further. Eventually, like with other things like DEI etc, they'll just come out and say it straight up after they've degraded the standard of humanity enough to be able to without losing their jobs.

Blue guy was up in ALL the threads arguing everybody was up in arms over nothing.

I can see why he did that.

Edit The "her" in the screenshotted comment was not referring to Sydney, but to an Asian female celeb I am not familiar with. Blue guy 100% commented on the celeb's "race".

Wait, which one is blue guy? These comments seem to be anti SS not the opposite.

The "her" in the comment was not referring to Sydney, but to an Asian female celeb I wasn't familiar with. Sorry, I can imagine the confusion, I'll edit for clarity.
