Contrary to the internet outrage narrative, insiders from American Eagle suggest that the majority of consumer feedback has been positive. Independent polls indicate that about 70% of respondents reacted favorably to the advertisement, which notably supports domestic violence prevention efforts.

In any case, the commercial seems to have resonated with the public more than social media critics anticipated—a boost for the brand and a reminder that not all online uproars reflect real consumer sentiment.
