A feel-good summer promo, right? Not in 2025, where the word “genetics” sends the left into a collective meltdown.
Social media users pounced immediately. “What in the Sydney Sweeney did I just watch,” one wrote, referencing the controversy-stirring American Eagle ad campaign. Others chimed in with outrage that any ad would dare mention something as science-based as genes. “[W]hy are ads so obsessed with genetics all of a sudden,” one user griped, while another screamed, “WHATS UP WITH GENES AND GENETICS.”
The irony, of course, is that the same crowd now demanding the cancellation of Dunkin’ had no problem with identity-based obsession when it aligned with their politics. The same folks who praised Robin DiAngelo’s “White Fragility” and who demanded representation boxes be checked in every commercial — they’re now losing their minds because an ad dared to suggest that genetics might influence appearance.
We’ve gone from praising corporations for casting overweight, politically active, and identity-focused models in lingerie ads to attacking brands for acknowledging that some people naturally look good. That’s the left’s new line in the sand.
These aren’t isolated incidents either. The same TikTok warriors who once applauded companies for being “inclusive” are now chasing them down for not being woke enough — or for daring to express anything resembling normalcy. The new rules? Your models better not just be attractive — they better be diverse, neurodiverse, gender nonconforming, politically correct, and preferably waving a Palestinian flag.
And when companies stop bending over backwards to appease that chaos? Boom — boycott.
Now, Dunkin’ is being accused of subtle eugenics because a guy with good skin said his tan was genetic. Apparently, that’s now a violation of the woke commandments.
Let’s be clear: Dunkin’ hasn’t gone conservative. It hasn’t even gone centrist. It ran a playful summer campaign with a young actor who made a comment that’s biologically accurate. But in 2025, even acknowledging basic truths can land you in cultural crosshairs.
This is what happens when corporations try to walk the tightrope between marketing reality and catering to the unhinged outrage mob. A decade ago, companies got slammed for not being inclusive enough. Now they get slammed for not being delusional enough.
What changed? Not the brands — the goalposts.
So go ahead, boycott Dunkin’. Just don’t act surprised when average Americans stop caring about your outrage and start rolling their eyes. Most people don’t live their lives offended by everything. Most people know that genes play a role in how you look. Most people just want a cup of coffee — and a little bit of common sense.
And to the folks at Dunkin’: drop the donuts if you must, just don’t drop reality.
Because the only thing more tired than a rebranded coffee chain is the radical left’s never-ending tantrum over anything that resembles the truth.
