Dove Turned 'Body Positivity' Into Pro-Obesity.

- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
- Brendan Fraser recently took home an Oscar for his role in the movie, The Whale. In order to portray the morbidly obese character, Fraser wore 300 pounds worth of prosthetics to embody the character. However, critics said that the character should have been played by someone who was actually morbidly obese. Dove also decided to jump into the conversation to criticize the use of a fat suit in the movie.

“Fat suits are harmful.” Oh, and obesity is not? 🤣
Lol, the irony is just too much
Yea, and the plot of The Whale is about a guy that is dying from obesity
They are super jealous because they can't wear a slim-suit.
He could get a heatstroke under the suit🤡
Perfect reply.
The Whale was supposed to showcase that his lifestyle was killing him. He accepted that. The redemption arc was showing that you can overcome that horrible lifestyle and make amends with yourself, the people in your life, etc. The bittersweet tragedy was that he overcame it too late……..But no, the body positivity people couldn’t see that. It was just “CaSt FaT AcToRs FoR FaT RoLeS”
"'Why didn't you have a murderer play a muderer?!?'" energy. Bill Burr said it perfectly.
And then they’d be like “that’s fatphobic, why did you make the fat actor lose weight for a role”
🤦♀️🤷♀️ you couldn’t win either way
the fact bendan absolutley destroyed his body on the mummy movies. asking him to gain a bazzilin pounds for a role would be inhumane. the fat suit was a matter of personal safety with how badly he wrecked his body adding of a few hundred pounds would of done irreversible damage.
I was sort of interpreting it as him committing a very slow suicide.
Ironically, I think it's more tone deaf to cast a 600-lb. actor for a role in which someone's uncontrollable binge eating and food addiction is killing them...
I died at "our identity is not your costume"
They really treat their weight as a character trait, people keep surprising me
Is it really an identity if you can just go on a diet and lose it?
And yet these people will have no problem with people cosplaying as Asgardians.
Maybe Brandon should tweet a reply: "My costume is not your identity." 🤔
It's sad their identity is all external. People have become so shallow while thinking it's the complete opposite.
Lol they rlly say that and then let men pretending to be women run around
Brendan is so wholesome.. he was a victim of SA in Hollywood came out about that during the me too era but none cared because he was a man who was assaulted.. I have so much respect for him
That’s why he took about a 10 year break. Didn’t feel like dealing with that stuff anymore
I feel so validated, now that Dove has made my body shape into a soap bottle. Thank you Dove. I literally don't know how I ever lived without it.
I wonder how many people would miss the sarcasm XD
@@rebeccaconlon9743 ikr lmao
Just wait til they "come out" with the color splashed rainbow bottle for the +TQ+ demographic
Take the red pill: Get your shape as a soap bottle.
Take the blue pill: Your soap is body soap, shampoo, shaving cream, insulation, motor oil, dish soap, energy drink, soup, and the Flu vaccine.
@@rebeccaconlon9743 If you were not the first one to reply to this post, you will be surprised.
People are mad that he wore a fat suit and they didn’t hire an actual obese man. Yet happy when actual men are honored for “woman” of the year. Can’t we just be consistent please
EXACTLY
EXACTLY. Did DOVE tweet that white actors should play white characters as well? Of course not. Double standards.
Don't seem to have Tess's
No kidding!
They are consistent, consistently hypocritical at all times, that's the underlying principle of all wokeness.
Fellow fat person here. I'm fat because I ate my feelings instead of dealing with them. My daughter passed and I spiraled. I have an eating disorder I'm having to fight. The weight did damage to my body to where I hurt to move sometimes, exercise is hard and my body numbs in places it shouldn't. My heart skips beats and I have dizzy spells. Nothing about being fat is positive. I hate it. I'm currently losing weight but I have a long way to go.
you can do it!!
Hang in there hon.
random person scrolling through comments: I'd say good luck, but luck isn't a factor: just your determination, so go for it :)
Hang in there with us, a lot of us are on that journey too and I send hugs and love. IT'S WORTH IT.
Wish you the best of luck on your journey!
Hey Brett, I’m 15 and am so glad that you’re content is reaching a younger audience and showing people the truth.
😮💨 ye I agree I'm 16
If you guys are that ages and listening to her you give me faith in humanity
I love how she's a reliable source that I can sit down and listen to and gain important info instead of the rest of mind numbing social media
I am also a teenager! But i think you shouldn’t comment your age because there are some real weirdos in the world ❤
@@Bob_The_Builder_ why downvote?
As someone said, having an actor who weighs 600 lbs+ would be extremely difficult for both the actor and the whole crew. The actor would be very limited in movement due to his size and the crew would have to maintain him.
Going with a fat suit was literally the best option in this scenario. It meant the actor could be mobile.
I don't understand why Dove is making such a big deal about something so minor
yeah I'd like to see a 600 lbs actor be on their feet for hours filming. these people are delusional.
Dove: Real beauty doesn’t fit into moulds
Also Dove: puts products into their set moulds based on body types
That's girl that said that "our identity is not your custome " is the same girl that is ok with trans woman taking opportunities from woman.
These people tend to contradict themselves all the time.
Yes you are right but if you say that they cancel you lol
Agreed fellow army
@KristinaXOXO Chim Chim is soooo wanted XD omg Hiiiii . I love seeing army's in unexpected places. But I suppose we are everywhere
@@robin-hr7tc I know right it's sad.

Dove: “Stop making fat suits”
Also Dove: “you’re fat so you get the fat bottle”
"It rubs the lotion on its skin..." for 'gender neutral' LOL
The irony 🤣
@@rebeccaconlon9743 hahahahahahaha
I always remembered Dove as a company which put normal ass people in their commercial.
Skinny, curvey, chubby and even people on the more obese site, but it was just random people with skin imperfections like stretch marks and scars and I liked how they didn't really edit the bodies.
Isn't that literally what body positivity is supposed to be.?
same and i loved that! i’m all for putting random everyday people in commercials, but justifying a deadly disease that you can control is so wrong
Yeah, but if I can get 10 obese people to use Dove, then that's like 30 normal people worth of soap! Genius! If they're unhealthy and die earlier, more will replace them.
They don't really care, and it shouldn't be that surprising to anyone
That’s what I thought too
Clarification for people:
Brendan Fraser was not in retirement.
He was blacklisted because he came out that he was sexually assaulted by the president of Hollywood Foreign Press.
On top of that, his injuries from action movies and his divorce took a huge toll on his mental and physical health.
Look up his story.
He’s an incredible person, and I’m so glad he’s finally getting the recognition he deserves.
Something like this happened to me recently. My ma showed me two pictures of herself and asked me what the difference was. I instantly answered, "You're smiling." She said, "No, I'm fatter." We really are our own worst critics.
I can now add Dove to my seemingly endless list of companies to boycott.
Im glad i don't use dove products im fine with ivory soap better for my skin anyways
Boycott, yes. *Tosses all Dove products in trash*
Does that include Dove chocolates?😫
#boycottshein
@@raccoonlittlebear6476 no difference companies
As a cosmetologist, I’ve seen people recommend Dove, as a good product - and it, absolutely, isn’t. Now, I have even more reason to dislike the brand - even as someone formerly morbidly obese, whom pursued entertainment and was only seen as a “character actor,” because of such.
I lost weight, because morbid obesity was NOT what I wanted to “represent.”
And I have never regretted it.
As a hairdresser I can tell you that Dove is literally the worst shampoo. It makes it so difficult to comb people's hair! I don't know what's in it, but it's bad. Everyone always hates on Pantene but Dove is 50 times worse.
I have a serious skin condition which requires the use of soap made from purely natural ingredients, Dove soap is utter garbage pumped full of chemicals.
Shit I use dove soap and shampoo...should I change?
Good for you, Christina! 👍
Congrats on the weight loss, I know how hard that can be, but your profile picture is very pretty
As someone who has recovered from an eating disorder, the body positivity movement fuelled my disorder more than almost any other kind of media. The idea of being happy and content with being obese is still one of my worst fears.
I don't know what it's like and hopefully I never do but as someone who wants to make people feel better, don't think of people being happy with their obesity. Think about it as them being so lazy and having such low standards that they gave up and brainwashed themselves to feel better and they don't want to be alone. And if you feel like you would fall into that mindset, think of how much money it would cost. Think about how you are happier more healthy, money, and better body actions. I hope this helps and if you didn't need this advice then have a great day or night.
I gained 75 lbs this way by saying “it’s fine I’m just perfect the way I am whether I’m fat or not” then I got diagnosed with a rare condition called idiopathic intracranial hypertension and suffer from horrible headaches. The biggest risk factor is obesity. I also have knee pain and it made my already bad back even worse. I’m now working on losing the weight but it is hard and I’m so mad I never thought of my health and loved myself enough to be healthy.
@@thebloodybaron7 yep. I had this same exact issue, without the condition of course. Gained almost 60 lbs, have issues with overeating still, and high bp and obesity. I struggle now trying to lose it aswell so i cant even imagine having your condition as well. Good luck on your journey love!
I've had anorexia in the past (I know it never really leaves you) and have found the same - it's increased my desire to be as thin as possible. It's so irresponsible.
i was slightly overweight after recovering from anorexia which turned into binge eating. the extra weight was so annoying and i didn’t like feeling heavy when i moved, i lost over 30 kg and it just feels so much better
My boyfriend is a really big guy, he's almost 400lbs, and he LOVED this movie and was very moved by it. He also said Brendan was a great casting choice, probably because he also struggled with his weight in real life.
Their identity isn't our costume yet their identity can be a soap bottle. Fascinating.
How can you not love Brendan Fraser? His Oscar is well deserved 👏
Yea they really misread the room with this one lol. Out of all the people to attack, you attack Mr. Fraser, and now? Some people need help
Not once in my 70+ years have I ever looked at a bottle of any kind and wondered why it didn't represent my body shape. Not once, even for a half second!! I use some Dove products but I am seriously reconsidering my choices.
To me body positivity is learning to accept and not putting yourself down for things you were born with or something you literally cannot change. Your natural hair, button nose or big nose, missing or deformed limbs, stretch marks because you went through puberty or carried and had a child, wrinkle lines because you are not 18 years old anymore. That is the body positivity people need. Not health at every size.
Health at every size is a lie, being the massive massive massive difference.
Or height
I love this comment so much. Thank you for sharing this. 😊
Yep, accepting ourselves is the cure for most of society issues... but that doesn't sell for corporates...
@@alicegraham1571 as a 6'5.5" male I can tell you height shaming is a thing when it comes to stereotypes and jokes. Examples: "Wow, you're so tall, do you play basketball"? "How is the weather up there"? I have received those questions all my life and 6'5.5" is not abnormally tall. It's just slightly taller than average.
Man, imagine if Dove felt this hard about animal testing! The beagles they blind would feel so represented and loved!
They’re still doing that??
@Kristina Zubic depends on where you're reading your articles, but a lot of people are suspicious about it. Something never smells right when you're after that Chinese money, too. Dove likes to pretend that their government will not test their products before putting it on the market, like to pretend that the government will talk to them about it before hand.
@@kristinazubic9669yes
Lol I found out I am allergic to their products about 19 yrs ago.
Dodged that ...
Thanks Bret that commercial has me in tears.... Up until about 2 yrs ago I wasn't harsh about my looks. I didn't even fear aging. Now at 42 with extreme wait gain, huge hair loss, and a half of my teeth missing from needing to be pulled due to infection. I don't even look in the mirror anymore.

Ah yes, this shit reminds me of when the "body positive" gang attacked Taylor Swift for stepping on a scale that said "FAT" in her music video because she was showing her insecurities revolving around her eating disorder. They said "I don't care if it's about her eating disorder, it's dangerous to relate weight to the word fat". I swear we're living in a clown world.
I remember that 💀
In what world is fat not related to weight?
Dove's approach to body positivity is a brilliant move which I think you all missed. Imagine the amount of soap bars it takes to wash a massively fat body instead of a skinny person! MASSIVE revenue increase !!
Brett literally showed a comment saying the same thing and was laughing about it.
That’s if they clean themselves frequently. I can’t imagine someone being that weight and cleaning themselves everyday. They can barely get out of bed at that point.
😂
😮 I didn't think of that
Big soap at it again
Wow the first dove ad was actually great. It showed how you notice little imperfections of yourself when other people don’t. How did dove fall off so hard.
Wow, my Tweet was featured in this video.
There are many fat people that get offended when they have half the cake, but when a healthier person wants half a normal slice, it bothers them. The whole fat positivity moment is a joke.
Thank you for featuring me.
I have been a loyal Dove customer since they first came out.
I am now a Dove free household.
Well done Dove, you've probably excluded a huge number of customers.
I stopped when they first introduced the soap bottles
Fraser should’ve won one a long time ago. But, he deserves it even more so now.
I find that one lady's comment "our identity is not your costume" really ironic, because isn't that pretty close to what women have been trying to tell drag queens recently?
Also, that Dove soap bottle ad is the most brainwashing-sounding thing I've heard this year. No pun intended.
I’m really proud of brendan fraser for winning! Even if I’m not a fan of Hollywood awards in general, the fact he can make a comeback and be recognized for his work is still quite the accomplishment!
I kinda miss the previous “body positivity” movement, it was generally just about people who are burned victims, people with Down syndrome or general traits people usually couldn’t change without very extensive surgery and usually that doesn’t help. Now it’s just “you can be 600 pounds and dying! Never change! even if you’re about to lose 30 years of life!” The fact that Dove is a company that’s encouraging morbid obesity publicly now makes me think how crazy the movement has now turned into.
I remember getting a call back for a dove commercial when I was 10 or 12 years old in Canada. I’m 31 now. The commercial was about beauty standards influencing young girls. They told me I didn’t get the commercial because they were looking for girls who were directly impacted by the beauty standards of magazines and movies etc. we were all under 14. I told them I wasn’t affected by magazines and that bullying at school was more of a problem to kids. They didn’t like that answer 😂I remember this specifically because after that call back I started saving lunch money to buy j14 magazines and getting obsessed with Disney stars and comparing myself to them. I didn’t care about beauty at 10 until dove told me that there are beauty standards being pushed 😂
First of all. The Mummy is a sexual awakening for me lol. Second. Brendan Fraser is a gem and the work movement can’t handle it. He knows his fans are 100 behind him.
Lmao
Was it the Mummies that Turned you on or Brendan Fraser? For me it was definitely the Mummies
@@gregoryjones5548 They had *BIG SUCC*
@@gregoryjones5548 haha good one. Probably both Brendan and the woman forgot her name

Hey Brett! I’m 19, and used to believe the lie that all my problems come from being trans, luckily I’m from a conservative country so I didn’t ruin my body, but you’ve been a true rolemodel for me. You are amazing and keep on inspiring us ❤
I’d also love some fashion and style videos from you, to help me speed up the process of detransitioning and becoming the woman I was meant to be.
❤
🙏 I’m keeping you in my prayers and thanking the Lord you saw the light before you permanently mutilated your body. The best advice I can give you is learn to love yourself just as you are. I’m 68 and that’s the best life lesson I can pass on. ❤
This is awesome!
Girl, you don't need to watch fashion videos to tell you what to wear. You just choose whichever clothing gives you the feeling you're searching for. Do you want to feel comfortable? Sexy? Confident? Edgy? Just go to a store where you can try clothes on in a dressing room, and try many things. You will find the direction you lean towards if you're just honest about how you feel in each garment. I really hope that you find your own style, on your own, instead of finding it by watching what other people wear.
Ps. Don't get discouraged if you find nothing at certain stores. That just means you have to choose a different store. Most stores do not have every type of style, and if what you're looking for is more unique, it may be a bit harder to actually find, but still very doable. It may be a good idea to look though websites first just to see the different types of clothing that are available out there.
The Mummy is one of my most favorite movies of all time and I’ve always loved Brendan Fraiser’s work. He’s wonderful and I’m so happy for him.
Not only did he get wrecked by Hollywood, Fraser got wrecked by life in general. If something could go wrong for him it did. This is one of the best redemption stories ever, and the best thing about it is that Fraser seems to be a genuinely great guy.
I’m fat too a lil overweight but i do exercise and try eat as best as possible, food nowadays is crazy, i don’t know if I’m eating something real or GMO, idk if my chicken is healthy or if it has a ton of parasites i can’t see, ultra processed food is just cancer… i am fat phobic because being fat is dangerous, nothing glamorous and being fat should be “body negativity”, eating healthy and exercising regularly where you can see your real waistline should be the real body positivity 😒
With Dove and the people like them, I'm reminded everyday of the only quote that gets stronger each year.
"I'm surrounded by idiots." - So many people
Ugh, I can't drop a pic of Scar, 😶 i did at least read that comment in Jeremy's voice
“Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am stuck in the middle with you”

@@mastera3950 I was gonna say Scar, but it was too obvious.
@@mastera3950 I also read this in Jeremy's voice, it just fits so well.
You're a national treasure, Brett Cooper. 😘
Amen to that statement 🙏
The different shaped bottles really pissed me off. Other brands are looking to simplify and reduce packaging to help cut down on manufacturing costs, transport costs etc, whereas Dove are happy to waste money on making those extra moulds, making things not stack as neatly so you can't pack as many in a truck, then make them so unergonomic that you'll probably just drop them the moment you try and grab them in the shower.
Also I'd put money on them coming out to say how much they want to save the world by cutting down on plastics and getting eco about it all, right after everyone forgets this nonsense.
Hey Brett I’m 13 and I’m so glad that I started watching your content, I wish that more people understood that obesity, and going woke is something horrible and I wish more people my age could understand and watch your content.
Bruh with everything Brendan Fraser have been through he deserve that Oscar.
Really? He got put in a fat suit, sat in a wheelchair and whined for 2 hours. The Oscar belonged to the man who spent years of his life to portrayed the greatest mortal human even to walk the planet...Elvis Aaron Presley.
@@christineoneal666that’s what your focused on? Brendan did an amazing job acting in that movie.
@@lethellsing Not as good as Austin
@@christineoneal666 depends on ones tastes
You don't deserve an Oscar for "what you've been though." You deserve it for the best performance of the year. PERIOD. That's why the furor over Angela Bassett is such bullshit. They thought she "deserved" it because she's "been through so much" as a black actress. Whether that's true or not (not), she didn't deserve Best Actress because she absolutely sucked in "Wakanda Forever." She's a good actress, but there was no saving the part they wrote for her in that shitty movie.
That 2 drawings thing was actually a pretty cool sociological experiment. But what's funny is how it sorta breaks the narrative they are going for, which is that people are mean and hateful to other people. In reality, people are generally going to be nice to other people and view people in a decent light, which is basically the opposite of the "fatphobia" narrative.
The Dove bottles representing "people in larger bodies" would be *SO* hard to grasp with wet slippery shower hands and would annihilate your toes upon impact
Just straight up throwing common sense product design out the window for the sake of _representation_ LOL
I'm boycotting Disney because they should have casted a real pirate to play as Jack Sparrow and not Depp.
They have changed the meaning of body positivity to, love every fat woman because they are beautiful because they are unhealthy
The whole "body positivity" movement is honestly the most disgusting thing i have seen in a while, what i needed 6 years ago, when i was 13, was for people (my parents tried but goddammit i was an idiot, i was on my "rebel" phase and refused to listen) to explain to me why being fat was bad for my health, no one else did, took me years to really notice on my own what consequences it had on me and i don't just mean physically, it affected my mental health too, made me feel like i was worthless and i'm sure it contributed to my depression manifesting and deepening the hold it got on me, what people need is the truth, it will most likely hurt you, but dealing with hurt feelings (what most idiots can't handle) is far better than the alternative, far worse, long lasting consequences.
People need to stop listening to this whole positivity movements tomfoolery, it's not gonna make you special, unique or relevant, work on improving yourself rather than trying to make some group happy, they'll most likely turn their backs on you if it's convenient.
After all Brandon Frasier has been through, I think e saddest part is that he still cares what hollywood thinks and got emotional about being given an award by them.
If I was him I'd have gone up on stage and told them all to stick it. But I guess where he is at he still thinks he needs to be friends with these people to keep getting work and possibly still cares about being accepted by them.
I wonder if he didn't get emotional because of the backlash the movie was receiving and he gained a bit of hope for society?
the fact bendan absolutley destroyed his body on the mummy movies. asking him to gain a bazzilin pounds for a role would of been inhumane. the fat suit was a matter of personal safety with how badly he wrecked his body adding of a few hundred pounds would of done irreversible damage.
I think it's fine to get emotional while getting arguably the greatest award in the entertainment industry lol
I don't like Oscars tho just stating a fact
He left for ten years. I think he wouldn’t have come back unless he found some filmmakers he trusted
I don’t know if it’s that he cared so much about their approval but maybe it was validating his own choice. He’s talked about how he wasn’t sure about how well received it would be and also whether he should even have done the project. He also probably missed being able to do his job since he’s giving off like golden retriever level “I’m just happy to be here” vibes.
I'm so glad Brendan Fraser got a moment in the sun. This guy got screwed so hard by the Hollywood machine. He got molested by some big shot producer, he called them out for it but got shamed for doing so and ended up getting blacklisted by most of Hollywood over it. Then because he'd been doing so many of his own stunts he had lots of injuries that kept him from working and his wife left him and demanded a massive alimony payment he couldn't afford. Good for him for making a comeback.
I'm 16, going 17 this year and Brett and her crew are one of the few people that made me still put faith in humanity, I love her
Even though I really wanted Austin Butler to win the Oscar, Brendan Fraser gave an amazing performance and he is a really great guy. Thanks Brett for making this video
I wanted him to win too
Body positivity soap bottle sounds like a Babylon bee joke 😂. The world is becoming more and more like a skit.
Ive been watching your videos constantly this month, i wish the whole world could hear you and they could come to their senses, you speak truth!
Just watched The Whale, it was a fantastic movie and Brendan really deserved that Oscar. I never watch the Oscar's, never keep up with it, but this has to be one of the greatest Oscar winnings of all time.
The Whale is an amazing movie. If it doesn't speak to you ...you're not human. That film destroyed my reality for a bit. I've never been drawn into a film so deep, incredible film.
Fraser should have won an Oscar years ago. I am so glad that he’s getting the recognition he deserves after all the problems he had.
for which movie should brendan have won the oscar for years ago?
Hey Brett, I was just wondering what your opinion on Christianity is and if you are an active Christian
Grew up watching Brendan and couldn't think of any other actor more deserving. Honestly thought he gained all that weight. Either way he killed it and hope he continues his comeback.
people are really getting good at making problems out of nothing
I would like to call out dove for misrepresenting me in their bottle. It is a white bottle after all. The bottle has no boobs or ass. I do not have tattoos.. also where the hek is my head? are they calling me brainless?!!!
I'm so glad he found himself again. I'm so glad it wasn't too late before he found himself again.
Edit: one random person"our weight is not your costume"
Me: But it's perfectly okay if a man charades as a woman?
I remember seeing the first ad in therapy when I had body dysmorphia in High School. It was amazing and it really made me change my perspective on how I view myself. Now we have soap/shampoo bottles in different shapes and sizes that resemble body shapes and sizes. Not only does this promote obesity, but no one really cares about the shape or size of the bottle, as long as they can use it.
The Whale. Good movie. The scene where he yells about doing one thing right with his life was intense. I'm glad that he won. And he gave an actual acceptance speech. No bs pandering or virtue signaling.
"Our identity is not your costume". Funny, because when women say the exact same thing they get JK Rowling treatment.
What do you mean why Brett? The fatter someone is the most soap they use obviously! It’s literally profitable for them for people to be fat
Fat suit aren't harmful. Too much fat is!
I wouldn’t call it redemption, but Brendan truly needed this after everything
Edit: pov- dove becomes kang
As a person that works in grocery store, refilling shelves, I find it annoying as hell to unpack and fill shelves with weird shapes and having multiple shapes of the same product is plain stupidity. MAKE IT SIMPLE FOR MY WORK FOR GOD'S SAKE.
protect Brendan Fraser at all costs ❤️
There's nothing good about being fat/overweight or whatever. I've struggled with my weight all my life, forever struggling with eating disorders, it's miserable and it affects you mentally as well as physically. A lot of actors/actresses go to LENGTHS with their bodies for roles and it scares me, whether it's weight gain or extreme weight loss. Body positivity is good, but glorifying being overweight is not healthy in any way.
I'm a professional woman in her late 60's. I have never given a flying F about the shape of my shower/bath soap. I cared if it was glass and might slip out of my hand and break but shape?? I have been an obese and healthy-weight person. I can state 100% that being a healthy weight (within 10-12 lbs of chart weight) is so much more positive in every aspect of life.
Notice how the fattest bottle would be the MOST difficult to use when wet... folks are either gonna skip it or be really pissed when it keeps slipping out of their hands...
Body positivity is about loving your body. Loving your body is keeping it healthy, and taking care of it.
As a fat person, I was over the moon with his win. I wasn’t offended at all.
There's not a person on earth who was originally offended that a bottle of body wash wasn't shaped like them
When body positivity started, it was about accepting and being positive about missing limbs, physical defects and limitations, and not comparing yourself to others to gauge your happiness. Now, it's about fat people wanting to feel good about being fat and bullying everyone who thinks otherwise.
The Campaign for Real Beauty was so wonderful. Now, this company really thinks they must dismantle someone else in order for others to feel better about themselves, a complete U-Turn from where they were. Brendan deserved his awards, and Dove doesn't deserve my business.
I know you put an amazing amount of thought and time in creating your videos. It takes excellence to be quick, snappy and to the point. Love them!
Honestly, the newer name fits way much better than whatever “body positivity” is supposed to mean
Glad Brendan won!!!! He has been through so much shit!!!!
And those body positive people get damn lost.
"Our identity is not your costume" Yet people like dylan mulvaney can fake being trans? This is what women have been saying for years.
Love ur vids currently watching the vid
Love that youre so sensible and yet so funny at the same time😂
Bro like 4 people commented before you
@@nexus_keeper sorry j didnt see them
Dove knows the obese use more soap because there's more surface area to cover. It's a very shrewd move on Dove's part.
I was looking for this comment-
I thought that acting was about acting.
Every time I see a group get criticized for not hiring a person from a specific group for a role always reminds me a quote from The West Wing by Toby. The gist of it is that the talent pool of anybody "good enough" to fill one of these highly specialized jobs(whether acting or something else) is incredibly small to begin with and virtually impossible when you try to narrow it down to a specific race/gender/sexual orientation etc.
Which is why the push for "inclusivity" of pretty much any kind often also leads to the reduction of standards. The military comes to mind.
It's called ACTING. If every film contained the actual people doing these things....they'd be called DOCUMENTARIES. We have those already. Complainers need to get a life.
Dove: "We have SIX bottles that represent female body types..."
Dove's next breath: "... cause each woman is so unique and a limited edition."
"These SIX bottles represent you and you're **unique** body"
Contradiction AND objectification?
Eventually we got to reach a point where it’s complete absolute lunacy I mean we past it a bit but still
If something that deserves awards or praise of any sort does well it's always good, if it also offends people that makes it so much better
You've got pretty good takes, I like listening to you Brett.
I don't remember the ad referenced here, but I do remember when Dove featured a lineup of like 15 women, with many ethnicities, from very short to very tall, very slim to quite obese, and even an amputee. True body positivity
You know somebody's completely brainwashed if they use the word "centering" in daily conversation, particularly before the word "voices." Nobody ever used that creepy alien middle-managerial language in real life before the 2010s/2020s.

The Whale didn't even use a fat suit. It was digitalized, that's the main reason why the Oscars gave the film an award. I feel like The Whale is actually a good way to show people the struggles of being obese and the impact it has on everyday life
I used to be fat, thinking "Oh, I am perfect as I am - Thank you society for reminding me." Until health issues came up, and I ended up lossing all the unnecessary weight. Now, going to the gym is fatphobic? Not self-care? But I guess that is better for pharmaceuticals and companies like Dove making so much money out of this stupid mentality.
If your happiness can be fixed by a bottle of soap...you've got way bigger problems than you think you do.
“Our identity is not your costume.”
Whaaaaaaat???? Isn’t everyone wearing costumes these days and able to claim it as truth? I missed the memo where we were going back to reality.
Ps. Not all morbidly obese people are good actors. How is that hard to comprehend? He was cast in the role because he could play the part well. Remember when Leonardo DiCaprio played a disabled boy in “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?” Yeah. Spoiler alert: Leo is not really disabled.
I watched a movie rendition of Charles Dicken's Christmas Carol. The ghost of Jacob Marley was played by a person who was alive. That is cultural appropriation.
