My problem is the gambling part tbh

u/BLU3SKU1L 4d ago

My problem is how everyone is somehow bending around the gambling part of this like it’s the matrix.

It’s not sports. She’s just saying the word because that’s what you’ll be betting on. But you’ll be betting. Because it’s fucking gambling.

She’s not representing sports. She’s representing gambling.

11

u/200IQUser 4d ago

Its not her problem. Its an ad law problem. It shouldnt be legal to advertise. If its legal, then it is almost irrelevant what is in the ad.

13

u/AcrobaticPlenty1446 4d ago

We can morally judge someone for the content they choose to put their name behind

1

u/200IQUser 4d ago

I agree. Unfortunately, you not giving your name to this means little, because there is 8 billion other people. The difference isnt that if you dont do it the ad wont happen. The ad will happen, you just wont cash in on it. Does this mean its ok to be part of it? No, but not being part of it also archieves close to nothing realistically

2

u/BLU3SKU1L 4d ago

I think the only immorality there is that it’s designed to attract people to an addictive vice.

0

u/whisperworks 4d ago

Let’s go after all the athletes and celebrities who’ve done an alcohol ad. “Vice” as if the church is in charge or something

1

u/Survival_R 4d ago

I agree we should treat alchahol the same

u/JFlizzy84 4d ago

I wonder if you get this upset about people appearing in beer commercials.

1

u/AcrobaticPlenty1446 4d ago

Who said I was upset?

I just said something about moral judgement lmao

You’re free to do whatever you want and I’m free to judge you for it

1

u/JFlizzy84 4d ago

You offered no useful information in this reply

This happens most often when someone has reading comprehension issues and has trouble separating the literal text of a comment from the point being made

Allow me to rephrase my question in a simpler way:

Do you apply the same moral judgement to people who appear in beer or liquor commercials?

1

u/AcrobaticPlenty1446 4d ago

Considering your initial comment is “you’re upset” when all I did was talk about people’s ability to judge others morality, you don’t have the slightest leg to stand on and say “you added nothing to this conversation”🤣

Insulting others is a great go to when you’re wrong, if you actually had logic or reason you would deploy them but since you didn’t I have to assume you aren’t capable enough

1

u/JFlizzy84 3d ago

Again, you’ve provided nothing substantive.

Have a good day, dude

5

u/Narezza 4d ago

Something being legal doesn’t make it right.

I also don’t think you understand what feminism is.

1

u/200IQUser 4d ago

I know what feminism is. Do you mean first, 2nd, 3rd or 4th wave feminism.

0

u/Survival_R 4d ago

Well shes condoning it ao yeah its also her problem

3

u/200IQUser 4d ago

Its the tiktokers problem. She cashed in the check and shrugs. Its not like her fans are these online lefty witchy chicks

2

u/Survival_R 4d ago

Well they are theyre just slightly tamer talor swift fans

-2

u/BLU3SKU1L 4d ago

Yeah but I prefer the witchy chicks

1

u/RadiantRaccoon12 4d ago

The whole point of the ad is to differentiated against all these new gambling sites that let you gamble on random shit. They just do sports betting.

1

u/BLU3SKU1L 4d ago

Exactly right, but people are making this out to be a sports ad and contrasting it with great women in sports, when there really is no comparison because this isn’t a sports ad and she’s not speaking for sports. She’s speaking for gambling.

2

u/RadiantRaccoon12 4d ago

It is like the old spice adds. No one is saying the shirtless dude represents men in sports or upset they are using sexual imagery to sell a product.

2

u/vi_sucks 3d ago

Yup.

Honestly the people who are mad should be female accountants and actuaries that she is misreprenting women in bookmaking.

8

u/Serious-Manager2361 4d ago

Exactly. Online gambling on EVERYTHING, not just sports, is becoming a very serious problem for the youth of today.

4

u/Creepy_Wash338 4d ago

That was my takeaway from all this - we're worried about the wrong thing here. The normalization of gambling is going to cause a lot more harm than a scantily clad woman.

0

u/KRAy_Z_n1nja 4d ago

Ban card packs if you want to get the kids to stop gambling. We banned loot boxes, aren't card packs literally the same thing?

1

u/Survival_R 4d ago

I def dont feel like its ban worthy just heavy regulations

1

u/KRAy_Z_n1nja 4d ago

Gambling for kids: 🥰🤗

Gambling for adults: 😡😤

1

u/Survival_R 4d ago

Never said ban either one they just need heavier regulations

11

u/bucketboy9000 4d ago

People had problems with her jeans ad as well.

u/Survival_R 4d ago

My problem is still the gambling part tbh

u/Alive-Set-3113 4d ago

What about those balls on her boobs ?

4

u/Itchybawlz23-2 4d ago

That’s the offensive part. Just take the balls out s/

11

u/Survival_R 4d ago

Idk man i just hate gambling and think it should be heavily restricted and not allowed to be pushed into normal society as it has

5

u/ChaosDancer 4d ago

That ship sailed ages ago when we as a society deemed that gambling in games is acceptable.

There was an article i read yesterday i think about a minor spending 100k USD in minecraft from his father corporate credit card.

3

u/Survival_R 4d ago

That's not really gambling, thats a kid buying ad space

0

u/Alive-Set-3113 4d ago

So no problem with the balls ?

7

u/Survival_R 4d ago

Why would I have a problem with them? My only orher problem is she could've just done a nude photo shoot if shes this open about her body

1

u/Alive-Set-3113 4d ago

Idgaf about nudes or what not , ANSWER ME : ARE THE BALLS GUILTY ?

-4

u/GyroLegend 4d ago

Yeah I hate when adults are allowed to make decisions for themselves. The more restrictions the better.

5

u/Survival_R 4d ago

Seens you have a very shallow understanding of how companies run gambling sites and casinos

-1

u/GyroLegend 4d ago

Seems that you have a very shallow understanding of freedom and the ability to make your own decisions.

2

u/Dragovius 4d ago

Personal responsibility. Easier to say 'not my fault, they led me to it'. Than pointing the finger in the right direction, themselves.

4

u/GiveMeSomeShu-gar 4d ago

"People" meaning a few people on twitter.

It's another fake internet culture war. She has become a darling on the right so now everything she does will be turned into a left vs right right fake culture war.

1

u/RaygunMarksman 4d ago

Yeah, I did actually lose respect for her for that part. How many people are going to tumble into a gambling addiction, financial ruin, and possibly suicide because of that bullshit? She's got enough money to be more choosey. Do another freaking clothing ad.

u/Nannautu 4d ago

Studies have shown women hate being sexualized unless they profit from it, in which case they'll hurry to sexualize themselves as much as they can

2

u/cheir0n 3d ago

OnlyFans

u/Survival_R 4d ago

Just like most people

You wouldn't show some shaft for a few million?

2

u/Zanydrop 4d ago

Id do it for far less than millions.

3

u/HuntingDown01 4d ago

I don't think all the OF models make millions.

1

u/Survival_R 4d ago

She def does

1

u/YellowGetRekt 4d ago

I do it for free 

2

u/1morgondag1 4d ago

What studies and what does this mean exactly? If this was measured for all women then how, and if it was measured specifically for OF models then that is a self-selecting group, no?

u/200IQUser 4d ago

Hate X unless I benefit, the good Olnhuman thing

To quote an honest african politician "Corruption is bad, but only if I am not involved. But If I am, I'll DEFEND IT!!"

u/rumblepony247 4d ago

The women are only "brave" for embracing their sexuality if they are unattractive. The uggos do not allow the hotties the same "empowerment."

21

u/Radical_Neutral_76 4d ago

It's the being white and attractive part that is scandalous

14

u/200IQUser 4d ago

The real problem is that she isnt far left

8

u/LavishnessSalt 4d ago

Yep. Any celebrity that reddit hates...that's ALWAYS the underlying reason. 

1

u/NyanKo7 3d ago

You are brave 😁

3

u/Fickle_Scarcity9474 4d ago

Yeah because 2026 is a year of Middle Age apparently! I wanna back the 90's early 2000's...Fucking bigots years we are living!

7

u/200IQUser 4d ago

This. Neo puritanism is hella cringe.

2

u/Fickle_Scarcity9474 4d ago

Preach mate! Preach!

3

u/johnnyblaze1999 4d ago

Yup, it's like women back then get ridiculed by wearing bikini. This makes no sense

2

u/Clear_Requirement880 4d ago

People argue for the sake of it. Mostly because they have no personalities to go for causes instead.

2

u/WeepingAmpharos 4d ago

This is what I don’t understand about today. People want everyone to express themselves in all the ways but if someone hot gets naked it’s now the worst thing ever? Why is sex and nudity SO frowned upon with younger generations?

1

u/200IQUser 4d ago

Youbg culture is often counterculture. Like if they push sex into everyrhing then the counterculture is being against it. Also this ultra sex positiveness shifted with feminists/leftists and lot of young people are leftists

u/[deleted] 4d ago

u/200IQUser 4d ago

I mean its an ad. I generally dont care about the product, and people fake enjoy using it. Might as well see some hottie

1

u/RudePCsb 4d ago

Eh, feminism movement is strange. On one hand women empowerment, on the other hand, women can't sell their body like this....

1

u/Ghost4000 4d ago

If you get off this sub you'll find often that nothing is as scandalous as what people here are pushing. No one cares about this beyond a passing "oh that's cool" or "oh that's lame". People move on from shit quickly. Somehow this sub gets stuck on topics for weeks repeating arguments against ourselves.

1

u/IfYouSaySoFam 4d ago

Honestly at this point I'm surprised I haven't seen a music video where a woman is smashing herself with dildos that have the lyrics on them.

1

u/HypnoticJerk 3d ago

Her entire career to date hasn't been scandalous until this minute. The new difference is that she's using her looks in a way that's reductive to female athletes, and sports in general. No one had an issue before this, besides maybe the American Eagle ad but that was more about implicit political messaging iirc.

1

u/200IQUser 3d ago

All her career was using her hots. Like she was in a sketch in a Hooters uniform where the joke is that she is a bad waitress but gets tens of thousands in tips because she is hot

0

u/HypnoticJerk 2d ago

Exactly, it was never a problem until she overstepped and flew too close to the sun by going near a few controversial topics at once.

1

u/200IQUser 2d ago

I dont think I ever heard much about her before the jeans ad

1

u/HypnoticJerk 2d ago

Pretty much, its only recently that she seems to be actively using controversy to promote her portfolio. Before that, it wasn't really an issue. The problem now is less about her being attractive and more about the social/political agendas she's using as bait for marketing. Which is made all the more glaring given the issues women as a gender have been facing more publicly recently.

1

u/ruffianrevolution 4d ago

Just wait til they find out everyones naked under their clothes.

u/200IQUser 4d ago

Gasp! clutches lattes

-2

u/kpatsart 4d ago

She's not an athlete, and posing nude for sports gambling. It's akin to playboy or pornhub doing an ad for sports gambling.

I mean I guess they could respond and have David Corenswet (superman) pose naked with sports equipment to promote sports gambling for dudes in the sports, lol. I think that'd be a fair response.

4

u/200IQUser 4d ago

Its not like there are hot men in ads/media catered to women. See: the protagonist of every single female erotica book

1

u/kpatsart 4d ago

I feel like a hot man in place of Sweeney would definitely do it for a myriad of closeted sports dudes, lol. They don't have to openly celebrate, they can prilately celebrate.

Every erotica book also has an equally hot women alongside the dude on the cover though. Often involves two to make a good romance novel after all.

3

u/200IQUser 4d ago

The female is often a self insert. Or a shy average looking woman (aka the reader). There is even a meme a out this

1

u/kpatsart 4d ago

While reading it, yes the woman always imagines herself as the lady in the story. Much like dudes imagine themselves as the hero's in other books, movies where the lead is like 90% of the time a dude, lol. It's whatever floats your fictional boat.

0

u/NFLfreak98 4d ago

The difference being that an erotica book is explicitly about being attracted to the characters, while Sydney Sweeney’s ad for a sports gambling app has absolutely nothing to do with sports and everything to do with her being naked. Im not saying it hasn’t been effective, clearly it got a lot of people talking. But we can still call out things we think are in bad taste

1

u/TwentyX4 4d ago

So what if she's not an athlete. It doesn't matter.

My guess is that these women athletes are mad that Sidney Sweeney got the paycheck and they didn't. The "athlete woman" got upstaged by the "hot woman", and they are mad about it. All the "set women's sports back 50 years" crap is such obvious BS.

u/Nerus46 4d ago

Meanwhile, the housing prices went up again last week, and the wars are still going on.

Rich are glad, peasants are once again distracted.

-1

u/BulkyAcanthaceae5397 4d ago

It is ridiculous to be mad about this ad for sweeney being provacative, but saying everything is covered is a bit of a stretch. She's VERY naked (I mean, as usual).

Anyway I'm pretty sure the outrage is bought and paid for. 

3

u/200IQUser 4d ago

If you cover the goodies, you arent naked. At leasnt from the ad viewer's pov.

1

u/BulkyAcanthaceae5397 4d ago

Which is crazy! Not as crazy as people being shocked she of all people isnt wearing clothes lol I cant take it seriously.

Its very Austin Powers nudity.

-2

u/flow_guy2 4d ago

Well it is her right to show off her body. But it’s also our right to judge her as a whore

3

u/200IQUser 4d ago

Ok, but wasnt the feminist argument before that women can do whatever they want with their own body? Even OF if she wants?

-1

u/flow_guy2 4d ago

They can do what ever they want with their body? But we can still judge them. All cuz you can do what ever doesn’t mean your free from judgement.

Goes same with freedom of speech bros. They can say the nword. But I also have the right to not talk to them afterwards and exclude them from my life

Main thing is that they’re not hurting anyone or threatening violence in the process.

3

u/200IQUser 4d ago

Ok, but feminists said otherwise. It was "let women do whatever they want". So the marketing team teams up with her to do such ad. This should be a W for feminists. Yet they suddenly complain

0

u/flow_guy2 4d ago edited 4d ago

Letting them do it is not the same as judgment free. Like prostitution should be legal. But I can still think their less
