Wait wait... is the author's name seriously "I Need a B-hole" ?! This shit writes itself. LOL.

 

[TastyPastry]

i don't want to live on this planet anymore

imagine men getting triggered because they don't look like leon in re4

 

[cireza]

Rather than caring about your own health, what you eat and how much exercise you do, let's care about putting fat people in our games.

 

[RainblowDash]

This type of whining is so nostalgic!

 

[Kdad]

A name like that and still rose to a senior reporter status...they must have been empowered by Dove and Unilever branding.

 

[Futaleufu]

How come companies always target gaming but not Hollywood?

 

[cormack12]

Why are dove even appealing to video games? Anyone that uses Dove who plays games is either at their parents house and using their mums soap or skyrim grandma

 

[Barakov]

Really makes you think.

 

[OCASM]

Reminds me of:

 

[captainpat]

This feels like something that was scripted 15 years ago. Western games in particular are waaaay less horny

 

[tkscz]

I never understood this shit like no matter what body you make someone is going to find it attractive. It's not secret fat women are my thing so if you put one in a game guess what, I've sexualized her, so your attempt already failed. This idea that you can make a body not look sexy to anyone is fucking asinine.

 

[DEAD ORIGINAL]

Poor groom carrying that over the threshold

 

[Drizzlehell]

This thread kinda proves why these companies even do shit like that in the first place. That's all it took to generate 7 pages of absolutely pointless discussion within just 8 hours, when all of us should collectively ignore it and move on with our lives because it's stupid shit like this that makes me want to switch to a different hobby.

 

[Aenima]

Cant wait to play as Fat Lara

1st mission objective: Climb that wall to start your andventure.
Fat Lara: Ok i give up.... Credits roll.

 

[The Alien]

...from the company that uses Chinese child slave labor to supply their cotton and uses harmful chemicals in their products comes their latest instructions to make sure YOU do the right thing and stop looking at cartoon titties and butts in video games.

U u have to throw a cheeseburger over the wall to give her determination

 

[Impotaku]

Of course dove would want to normalize whales, think of all that real estate that needs washing. A land wale would wear through multiple bars of soap in one bath.

 

[Pejo]

I'm so tired of being forced to stare at fat ugly people in games and movies.

Can't we go back to the 90s aesthetic of impossibly attractive people in media?

Who the fuck looks at a soap ad and is like "yea that girl's fat like my fat ass, I feel catered to!"

 

[Aenima]

Intimissimi is the only western brand with some sense of beauty left. They recent ads is to promote the increase in bra size range, up to the F cup, and they'r not using whales to do it.

 

[Hayabusabruh]

Shouldn't Dove of all companies want gamers to feel.....dirty? Don't ban me!

 

[StylishMGTOW]

Dove's combating overly-sexualizing women by... making them fat?

 

[Eotheod]

These woke activists don't want to see the chasm between what women say they want ("More diverse body types!") and what they actually choose ("Tiktok filter that makes them look like super models").

But do they only want that filter because society has created a marketing machine out of "thinness" and being a certain look? I mean Dove themselves have been the perpetrators of that social stigma, and if I was to have a daughter it would be a hard fucking place to bring them up without some form of body stigma. Shit is real and it's fucking predatory.

That's what we should be focusing on, corporatism at its finest making a sellable formula such as the "perfect body" that has caused generations now, and to come, fucked up perspectives of themselves and others. But hey, "woke" is just as easy to hate on and ignore the actual messages with smooth brained idiots.

 

[Moriarty1889]

I know the left has a difficult time with this but hot women typically love showing off their hot bodies and men typically like seeing them. We also like seeing hot women in videogames. Honestly i'm done with this shit. These companies can learn the hard way.

Exactly. Well said indeed.

God damn

Thanks for the boner man

Easier to leverage the "think of the children" argument.

 

[OCASM]

20 years ago they made a much better ad:

 

[Bernardougf]

Dove must have loved horizon forbidden west

 

[Kdad]

No men in the ad, I feel under represented.

 

[Unknown?]

If only we had real world examples of what highly fit, aggressive, dynamic, athletic, multi-purpose, endurace/strength/explosive power women ACTUALLY look like...

Hey Dove, maybe sponsor some of these ladies???

A bunch of Abbey's?

 

[semiconscious]

i don't want to live on this planet anymore

what? so i'm the only one, then?...

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

How the fuck did we get here? Hmm?

 

[Filben]

How about we won't support unhealthy lifestyles in general? Being ultra skinny or ultra fat isn't healthy.

Also

 

[Bernardougf]

The new 300 movie is shaping up rather nicely.

Imagine.. a 300 like film with beautiful yet really fit and strong woman's just kicking ass with minimal clothes (like 300 btw) .. with the same effects and shit..

Ahhh.. and feminine woman by the way .. not abby like motherfuckers

The purple hair brigade and Era's beta snowflakes would loose their shit

 

[cartman414]

Why can’t male hero’s in games not have a face like a squeezed rat, arms like spaghetti and a micro penis?

Because I feel seriously underrepresented..

Either the nerdy comic relief or the Squishy Wizard.

 

[Bernardougf]

It's always strange to me when people defend overt and needless sexualization in videogames. Like I get the audience is comprised of a lot of incel types and what have you, but move on with your life and get your needs met elsewhere. This is a you problem.

Beautiful man and woman do exist and is nicer to look at them than your ugly ass.. so move on with your life and insecurities you pussy

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

This thread kinda proves why these companies even do shit like that in the first place.

ESG

They don't care about what people think.

As long as they get "social credit" money, they'll keep doing it.

 

[DeepEnigma]

I'd rather stare at that sexy beast, than some of the obese indoctrinated fuglies these mental patients pump into the ether.

Cause he always had some bad bitches with him.

WTF am i buying and where do i enter my credit card info!!!

-for "modern audiences."

sounds about right across the entertainment

 

[bentanchorbolt]

I'm not sure that I said anything so bad it would be found bothersome but all the same, I am glad it had an emotional effect on you.

7+ billion people in this world. 195 countries. It's cute that a napkin math of about 85%+/- does not adhere to this propaganda, but they keep the center of the world grift going. Until the entire west is on their knees. God help us then.

 

[UltimaKilo]

So 250 pound, burger eating, lazy, fat asses are the new action heroes… Is the next James Bond a 57 year old, obese guy?

 

[DeepEnigma]

Yes.

 

[UltimaKilo]

We're going to look back on this decade of body positivity and obesity acceptance as an absolute train wreck disaster for health and the obesity epidemic, with consequences akin to smoking

I'm sorry your feelings are hurt but there's no such thing as "healthy at any weight", no person on earth is healthy with an extra 200 pounds of fat to lug around

The other funny thing is that I've literally seen people post fat acceptance memes on facebook where like a morbidly obese woman was being hugged by a completely jacked guy lol, what's up with that, accept me but you have to work

This is why I live in Miami, where the culture is Fitness. Even if it includes plastic and lip fillers that make some people look like they ate having an allergic reaction to shell fish, it’s still better than this.

 

[Gojiira]

Oh fucking please…Oversexualisation would be a improvement over the gross, man jawed ogres we get currently..

 

[UltimaKilo]

Oh fucking please…Oversexualisation would be a improvement over the gross, man jawed ogres we get currently..

It’s incredibly hypocritical. 99% of these whales aren’t masturbating to Larry the Cable Guy looking dudes on Porn Hub.

 

[SeraphJan]

They are not against "Sexualization" they are against competition, they are so insecure about themselves that they decided to downplay attractive individuals

They spread this narrative to brainwash other people into unattractiveness, so they (the agendist) don't have to compete.

Beauty requires a lot of hard work, knowledge, and finance. These agendist are the same group of people that complain and undermines Korean female beauty standards.

 

[TheThreadsThatBindUs]

So instead of promoting idealistic body standards you instead promote horribly unhealthy bodies?!?

So, young people's body confidence and self-esteem is more important than their health?!?

Fuck off, Dove!!!

 

[Kokoloko85]

But they wont dare critique the actual over sexualization in the music and “influencer” industry
