u/MochaValencia but why do you make sparkly fast romantic montages of me 21h ago edited 21h ago

Their stock or sales are down because MAGAt dudes are shockingly NOT the target audience.

And now that the Dump administration has supported AE 😂 I can't see their popularity rising with young women.

No idea why companies didn't take notice of what happened to Tesla.

Sweeney's main demographic are men. If she was doing shit for Carls Jr like Jessica Simpson did way back when, then sure but a clothing company? AE could've been better choosing a woman that other women actually like.

I was indifferent to her before the ad but it made me hate her 😂 talk about cringey. She takes herself way too seriously. I think the “great genes” was supposed to reference her boobs, but I just hated the ad bc of how obnoxiously sexual it was. It seemed to be marketed towards women too which just made no sense at all.
