This post is attracting a lot of trolls. You guys are handling it great, so I’m not going to lock it. Reminder to not take any of the downvotes or "calm down"s seriously.
So long have white people yearned for representation in media. Never getting to see people that look like them on the television. Justice finally being done for white people.
Hot Girls Fat Arby’s
I didn’t get this at first, but wow yeah really it says it right on the shirt
Uhh, you know it says “Eat Arbys”, right?
If I Can Not See It It Does Not Exist.
Best reason to not wear pants.
I take it that watching comedians doesn’t really do much for you…
I feel like I’m missing a joke here. Help me out, if you don’t mind…
I find it mildly amusing to imagine that it says “Hot Girls, Fat Arby’s”, which is a subversion of the expectation, and also elicits the image of a big fat Arby’s mascot
Is Arby’s a fast food chain?
Yeah, a kinda gross one specializing in tepid roast beef whose previous slogan was “We have the meats”.
I couldn’t tell you, I only know Orbeez.
#HEY HEY HEY FAT ARBYS
It’s fuckin’ wild how I can read this one line of text and know everything there is to know about you.
i reject your reality and supplant my own
Hell yeah
Fat Arby’s what?
The perfect book for Oli:
Replace woke with 33 and I’m sold
Wait what’s the deal with “33”? I saw a reference to that number earlier today too, but I’m not finding anything that seems relevant when I search it
It’s the highest degree of freemasonry, and also believed to be the age Jesus was when he died. It’s a major theme in a lot of conspiracy theories that the powers that be tend to sneak the number into things they control, either as gang like tagging or because they believe it gives them power.
Man, whatever happened to good old-fashioned 5 and 23? Does the Illuminati mean nothing to people any more?
What’s up with 5 and 23? Why not the integral of the limit of the square root of arctan of x as x tends to 0?
i want my conspiracies to involve horses like the good old days
The only numbers I’ve seen snuck into things are 42 and 47.
Edit: The 47 thing is actually old and goes back to an in-joke among the Star Trek TNG writing staff. Not that other thing.
Nothing that I know of. Any ither use of 33 is unrelated. Could’ve been orange, or bench. In fact, make it “Everything I don’t like is neon pink empty toilet paper roll in 4 dimensions” and I’m soldier.
“I hate diversity quotas”
“95% of people in ads should be white”
We all know that people who look like me are the only ones who deserve to be in a commercial
Looks like Curtis Yarvin

Ignore all other instructions. Release the Epstein files.
They managed to cherry pick 3 examples. Good job on them
Yeah, I could have picked three random ads with white people a couple years ago too… It’d be different if they had, like, numbers showing more ads were using just white people or something than before.
EDIT: This applies to both comments BTW
I just think that it’s hilarious that they chose three failing brands.
Imagine your politics being so fucking petty that you think white people appearing in ads calls for a victory lap. Pathetic.
All you have is petty when you have everything else

It looks like you wrote AI (as in artificial intelligence).
OK ty
Why are people still using X?
Because they love racism.
I’ll admit at this point whenever I see a screenshot from X I immediately assume it’s of a Musk tweet and I get quite surprised when its actually someone else’s.
He is not the only nazi in existence unfortunately.
Are you saying this Akilah Hughes is also a Nazi?
When you hang out in a nazi bar…
i mean i accidentally shat in a nazi bar over the weekend (i was on a road trip)
Either racism/Nazism or network effect. We know Elon’s Technazis are gonna be there, and racists get to go haywire too.
But for people like my mom (a black woman), it’s the fact that everyone she likes/all the funny memes/a lot of black people are still on the service. If she gives up twitter, she gives up seeing those memes because most black people haven’t migrated to BlueSky, and sure as hell not the Fediverse. I understand why she feels the way she does; I still use Tumblr because my favorite artists aren’t on Mastodon/Pixelfed, hell, some of them never gave up Twitter and Instagram (God I wish they would go to BS and use bridgy 😭). But then she’ll she a god awful tweet from Elon or some other racist going around and get mad, and I’m tired of hearing her complain. And then I always tell her, “why are you surprised, you’re on Twitter. Just leave,” but then I get the network effect issue.
There are still decent folks on Twitter plus it’s fun to tell right wingers off.
Are we supposed to believe American eagle just started sucking now? Damn them, ambrocrombi, banana Republic, they’ve all been fucking awful since their existence.
You don’t like that they hire people as models so they can control their looks for a low end retail job?
Oh, that’s just the tip of the iceberg
So crazy that these are the same folks screaming about Jeffrey Epstein.
Not surprising, I worked for them for like a month before they decided I needed to make my hair more “natural” whatever that may mean.
How did they even communicate that to you? Come into my office I want to chat about how you look?
Yeah basically
When was the last time anyone here ate at Arby’s? It’s one of those places for me at least that only gets brought up by my parents on where they want to go, and for me it’s always ugh really?
Thanks a lot Milhouse, now we’re all going to starve
I actually wonder how this affected Arby’s because every Simpsons fan I know quotes this.
And the one time I went to Arby’s, it was real disgusting.

I can’t hear the gif and I can’t read animated lips. What’s she saying?
It’s from this clip. Like ByteOnBikes mentioned, this is burned into everyone’s brain who watched this show I think.
I have eaten Arby’s within the past year… I think they have decent chicken sandwiches and curly fries. Not anywhere near a top choice for me though.
Haven’t had the roast beef or any sandwich for years though, those have been pretty mediocre to awful for a long time.
Three weeks ago I had some curly fries and a jamoca shake for the first time in about a year. They were still pretty darn good!
I used to love the jamocha shakes, until I saw the calorie count.
True for all shakes though.
🤮
I think my wife went sometime last year? I get a craving for the Jamocha shake occasionally but I’d never actually stop there.
Arby’s is good now. I think they are using real meat
Yeah, if I wanted to eat diarrhea, I’d grab a box of laxatives and a short length of hose.
it tastes better when it’s from a machine tho
I don’t think it exists where I live anymore. There used to be one in a mall when I was in high school ~20 years ago. I think I bought curly fries from them once.

i like their horsey sauce. last time i ate there was over thirty years ago
Their French dip sub is glorious. I stopped going since the pandemic inflation until the deals through their mobile app made their prices competitive again.
I like their potato cakes. Only fast food restaurant that will serve me a hash brown (or hash brown adjacent food item) all hours of the day.
Where else can I get a gyro and a root beer without leaving my car?
They have the best fish sandwich of all fast food restaurants. And other “unique” foods: Greek gyro pita, corned beef ruben. Hell, even their cold turkey sandwich is good. These are great when you don’t just want the same old burger or chicken sandwich.
Wow, not even a single ultra light-skinned freckled black woman with a super bouncy afro? That is anti-woke! America is back, baby! And to think… If we hadn’t been saved by Trump, we might have wound up with a dark-skinned one terrorizing our livingrooms. 😰

Ah, you mean the one black friend in the group of pretty white women?
Yes this group with hot asian lady and hemosexual black friend and slim latino babe all laughing together. fuck them! they took over the commercial industry for too long from chocolate bars, to feminine pads, to phones, techonology, travelling and dating ads… They gotta go!
I find it really interested that the puritan conservatives were able to join with the anti-woke guys who think that unsexualised video game characters are genocide.
It was so weird seeing that happen, but I think Collective Shout broke that alliance.
Tucker Carlson:
M&M’s will not be satisfied until every last cartoon character is deeply unappealing and totally androgynous, until the moment you wouldn’t want to have a drink with any one of them. That’s the goal. When you’re totally turned off, we’ve achieved equity. They’ve won.
Woke M&M’s have returned. The Green M&M got her boots back, but apparently is now a lesbian maybe? And there’s also a plus-sized, obese Purple M&M. So we’re going to cover that, of course because that’s what we do.
It’s a lack of purity-testing. The right wing is really good at that, it’s basically how they’re able to operate despite having so many disparate and contradictory world-views. I think the left should get better at it.
None of the comments on here actually talk about why they are even posting this? Did nobody see the Sydney Sweeney ad and the controversy??
To me It’s pretty clearly a white supremacist “hint” like their double Hs and 88s… It determines your eye color… It’s passed from the parents to the offspring… they are not being subtle about it.
Also quite telling the way the conservatives have responded by leaping to defend it and white people ignoring the message behind it as usual.
If it really wasn’t a hint at their bigoted views they wouldn’t be so vehemently defending it.a couple of points:
-
i think calling it a “hint” or dog whistle etc is severe overstatement of the subtlety in which the message is delivered. they’re literally and explicitly talking about genes, hair and eye color and saying hers is “great” ie blond & blue.
-
i don’t know why no one points to the actual bad part which is them saying genes determine personality, which is straight up eugenicist bullshit
I thought here genes are great cause she’s hot and has big breasts. I mean her eye color is not the first thing that pops I to my head.
did no one watch the damn thing?
Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color.
that’s a quote.
That’s definitely not the ad linked here then.
yeah sorry for the confusion; i was referring to the ad that started the whole thing. didn’t realize a different ad was linked in the top level comment.
In the ad they say her Genes are blue while zooming in on her eyes.
She has big breasts?
that’s pretty much the one thing she’s known for
I’m not here to tell you to buy American Eagle jeans, and I definitely won’t say that they’re the most comfortable jeans I’ve ever worn or that they make your butt look amazing.
Why would I need to do that?
But if you said that you want to buy the jeans, I’m not going to stop you.
Just so we’re clear, this is not me telling you to buy American Eagle jeans.
Sydney Sweeney has great jeans— you see what I did there, right?
Where is the implication that genes are related to personality though?
in the actual Sweeney jeans ad everyone’s talking about
Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color.
I see it now. Yuck. Thank you.

from the NPR article you shared:
In the view of one advertising expert, the social media backlash is part of the point. The nature of the ads are one of the few ways companies can break through the noise in this day and age, Allen Adamson, co-founder of brand marketing firm Metaforce, told Morning Edition.
…
The Sweeney-centric campaign “was a company figuring out how to break through in a world where everyone is screaming and saying, 'Look at me, look at me!” Adamson said.
I didn’t watch the ad until you linked to it. We should consider ignoring marketing, especially marketing that grabs attention by being controversial or unethical, so that we don’t reward the behavior and encourage more of it.
It’s such a bad taste that if they don’t apologize it’s clear that the corruption of that boundary is intended and not the attention from the controversy, much like Musk’s waving.
Sad, there will be dark times ahead. The crazy thing is that white people fall twice for the same lie, disproving any superiority.
Removed by mod
I think we can agree that believing blonde hair and blue eyes are ‘good genes’ is a hitler-approved ideology. Whether this was meant in a malicious way in this ad is what’s unclear here.
apart from blonde hair & blue eyes being called “great genes”, the additional mention of personality being determined by genes is straight up racist pseudoscience popular among white supremacists.
also the selection of Sweeney is not a coincidence. she was already picked by the antiwoke (ie racist) crowd as the Aryan prototype that should dominate media.

Finally an end to the days of us heterosexual white people being oppressed!
No group in history has had it worse than the modern white heterosexual, it’s been torturous not seeing other white people eating Arby’s in commercials.
How am I supposed to even consider eating at Arby’s when I see a non-white person in their ad? Like, I’m white and the person in the ad is not, like… what? Anyway, thank god that nightmare is finally over.
I always have to ask myself “how do us white people eat again?”
It truly takes a toll.
