> Okay, here he is doing just that. Didn't watch it, tries to weigh in on it for clout. His own comment section is not having it.

I wouldn't watch Series 4 & 5 of The Boys if I had a time machine. So I don't blame him, tbh.

> In his Sydney Sweeney video, which is a pretty bad video in general because it doesn't engage at all with why people might not like her, he has a very long rant (for him) about liberal women and how broken they are. How they've been corrupted by college and they're just secretly jealous of beautiful women. Just empty ranting full of every stereotype he could pull out of a hat. He doesn't respond to the fact that it's a gambling ad at all, which a huge amount of people criticized. He boils everything down to "She's hot and women hate that." He doesn't even think it's worth mentioning what people actually said. He posts a bunch of completely unrelated studies to the point he is making

It is a slop video that they put out to keep the algorithm gods happy at YouTube. I don't expect a Critical Drinker video to be some well-researched social study on political biases in media.

As for the advert itself. A lot of the criticism I heard was because she was basically naked. I didn't even know it was a gambling ad until recently. How much of this is organic is hard to say, as the whole controversy in almost all of her adverts is probably done by either her or whatever company hired her to do the advertising campaign.

The same thing happens every time a Sydney Sweeney ad comes out. She does some provocative or "safe-edgy" stuff, and there is a bunch of controversy drummed up. Everyone the talks about the advert and then she has made another huge sum of money.

> Then he, for whatever reason, attacks the interviewer that asked Sydney about the American Eagle ad? Like, I think anybody can understand this is an interviewer giving a person a chance to react to news.

I've seen the clip. The question was bullshit. Anyone that isn't terminally politics brained recognised the play on words was due to her being attractive. It was that simple. She is probably contractually obliged not to say anything either.

Again, this whole controversy was likely manufactured by American Eagle themselves to have everyone looking at the advert.

Well done. You got played like everyone else did.

> Why is he just seeing a woman and implying she's secretly seething with anger? It's an extremely creepy way to talk about people.

Because the trope is that is what lefty female journalists are in that space.

If you want to be a very popular YouTuber, all you have to do is tell your audience what they want to hear. There is a whole small industry of these people on YouTube/Rumble and Kick. They cover the entertainment news and shit on dumb movies and TV series (which are most of them, tbh), and most of the time people have this stuff on in the background while they are doing their boring office job.

Every YouTuber has "dents", "marks". The former are people that eat up everything they say, and they are normally their whales.

They also have a bunch of orbiters; these are other smaller YouTubers and close associates that will do all their "sweeping" (cleaning up controversies), and others will act as their attack dogs.

This happens in almost every community of creators on YouTube. Getting upset about it is a waste of time.
