Part 7/17:
The Culture Wars: Outrage, Social Media, and Hypocrisy
A deep critique of internet outrage follows. They mock the overreaction to Sydney Sweeney’s ad, which some claimed was "objectifying" her—though the hosts argue it’s an obvious marketing move based on her looks. They emphasize that objectification and the sale of sex are longstanding, universally used strategies across history, from ancient Greece to modern advertising.
The hosts discuss the tendency for some to invent hidden meanings—like Nazis loving jeans—when it’s really just sex appeal at play. They note how some people demand diversity for the sake of representation but then react negatively when brands showcase conventional attractiveness.
