From the ad: "Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color. My jeans are blue."
A dumb pun at best?
I'm less outraged and more sad that eugenics is seen as comparably dumb to be mad about to a trans woman with a custom beer can. Most ads already push harmful shit by their very nature, but a company feeling free to riff on white supremacist pseudo science shows how successfully the Overton window has been moved.
I interpreted it as a tit joke personally, which is why I find it dumb. By ‘at best’ I mean, “In the most generous interpretation of their intent.” I think you have to make a leap in logic to then say they’re talking about eugenics. I fully concede it may be a dog whistle, but that’s my read.
I’d also never make the comparison myself because there’s nothing whatsoever to be upset about regarding Dylan. This comic sucks
