It's so hurtful, I had to stop reading. She knows the body she's in and wherever she is in her journey she has the right to be seen & live happy moments. Somehow every asshole on twitter is her nutritionist.
Yeah...I'm not really into turning obesity into an aceptable thing, sorry Gillete.

You don't have to accept obesity. But one doesn't have to be cruel to obese people either.Yeah...I'm not really into turning obesity into an aceptable thing, sorry Gillete.
Acceptable is kind of a strange word. Yeah, we have an obesity problem that needs to be handled. But obese people should be able to have dignity too.Yeah...I'm not really into turning obesity into an aceptable thing, sorry Gillete.
There's a huge leap between treating people like people who deserve respect just for being fucking alive and not being constantly miserable and saying obesity is okay.I agree with this. Be happy with who you are but we should not promote obesity as a thing thats okay.
It seems like that middle ground is reeeeeeeally hard for people.You don't have to accept obesity. But one doesn't have to be cruel to obese people either.
Where did I say this? I just think an ad normalizing an unhealthy body shape is stupid.Yes we must continue treating the overweight as the lepers they truly are.

Well we shouldnt be treating anorexic people like lepers either.. but I dont think they should be lauded in advertising either.Yes we must continue treating the overweight as the lepers they truly are.

I'd hate to sound like I'm on the side of internet fat-shaming trolls, but I hate ads and "campaigns" like these. If the woman in the ad was an extreme anorexic case, people's heads would be exploding.Acceptable is kind of a strange word. Yeah, we have an obesity problem that needs to be handled. But obese people should be able to have dignity too.
Obesity is a heath issue, but it's often looked at asa beauty issue. Seems like this add is just attacking the latter of those two.

So what you're saying is, unless people are a certain body type, they shouldn't be shown in advertisements in products?Where did I say this? I just think an ad normalizing an unhealthy body shape is stupid.

Obese people exist. Not having this ad isn't going to magically prevent obese people from existing.Yeah...I'm not really into turning obesity into an aceptable thing, sorry Gillete.
Shame them skinnyYeah...I'm not really into turning obesity into an aceptable thing, sorry Gillete.
Let's be pragmatists about this. One is definitely more supported than the other. One thing to note is that overweight people are painfully aware of it. And whatever you may think of the health consequences, there's countless people out there who could do with a pick me up. This will hardly become the norm anytime soon.Well we shouldnt be treating anorexic people like lepers either.. but I dont think they should be lauded in advertising either.
People who are struggling with weight should not be maligned, but having weight issues should not be glorified either. I don't think being proud of such things is good. Being proud of YOURSELF is what counts.
I would say the same of an anorexic being displayed as acceptable.
Same, the harsh comments are unwarranted, but as a formely obese person I don't want it to be seen as an acceptable thing. It was one of the reasons why I stayed obese for so long, and I hated it.Yeah...I'm not really into turning obesity into an aceptable thing, sorry Gillete.
Came to post this. We shouldn't glorify obesity. It's a legitimate health risk affecting tens of millions of people.Yeah...I'm not really into turning obesity into an aceptable thing, sorry Gillete.

I would say the same of an anorexic being displayed as acceptable. Health is a very important thing. You can't take that out of the issue.
Plenty of ads selling things that weren't cigarettes featured cigarettes being smoked.Their selling razors, not a food product or health product that affects weight.
Legit question, do you think the advertisement in OP glorifies the woman in it?
Why defend a commercial?We could eradicate obesity if only Gillette wasn't forcing overweight people down our throats!!!
How am I supposed to explain fat people to my kids?
People telling on themselves with this 'promoting obesity' thing ki
I can agree with this, sorry for singling you out specifically and thanks for taking the time to answer.I think gillets intent(as they have been on a progressive PR campaign recently) is to glorify the woman as a person and show that she is a human being and has dignity despite not being our societies typical definition of beauty. I get that and its commendable message on an empowerment level.
However, it also has the potential send a different more damaging message inadvertently regarding the realities regarding health and the danger of glorifying unhealthy lifestyles. In America especially which has this issue regarding excess or obsession due to various issues such as depression or what not, it should be looked at more carefully to not be seen as glorifying that message as opposed to the original intent.
TLDR : Everyone who is insulting this woman due to her body type should fuck off. But having pride in being slightly overweight is different from being unhealthily obese and that should be distinguished as a health issue rather than an image issue.
Yes. Have you ever seen an ad where someone is shooting heroine or popping pills that says go out there and slay the day? There is absolutely nothing positive about being morbidly obese like this.
