Why do corporations use fat and/or ugly models in ads these days??

She’s gross 🤮

F&F.

[quote] and unrelatable minorities

The KKGay at it again.

OP also wrote this:

“ I like Justin Bieber, hot shirtless boys barely out of puberty dancing on TikTok, and Ariana Grande. Is there something wrong with our genetics? Why are we wired like this?”

Interesting placement of the 'bush' or tree in front of her crotch.

To appeal to people like you, OP! Get a mirror and look at yourself. How many modeling contracts have you snagged, you fat whore?

R3 - Read my post again. It’s not racist. It’s using unrelatable models. This guy included.

Why is someone posting repeats of threads we just had? This is the third one I've seen this morning, and supposedly not all from the same person, but I'm guessing it's sockpuppets? But what's the point?

Indeed, OP. People forget when praising plus-sized and obese models stomping like elephants down the runway, that it's supposed to be about the clothes and presenting them in the best, most flattering way not the fatties and "their truth" wearing them.

A larger person provides a larger walking billboard for advertising your brand.

Think of all the fast food joints they're advertising in.

[quote]and unrelatable[sic] minorities

Why didn't you include gays and gay couples in this category?

Marketing has gone from glamorizing an ideal to showcasing and praising the average. It's disappointing and unspiring.

Like it or not, people’s bodies are changing. Thicker, fatter if you will.

Honestly, when I look at models super skinny (past and present) it looks terrible and the models look ugly.

Just my opinion, of course

[quote] Why do corporations use fat and/or ugly models in ads these days??

So people like you can bring attention to the brand and provide free advertising.

Who are the minorities that OP can’t relate to?

And why not?

I get the models of various sizes...but if they're unhealthy, clinically obese, anorexic...is it a big plus to have them "modeling" your product?

The woman in OP's pic is Chika, she is an awesome LGBT artist and she's nominated for a Grammy, which is more than I can say for most of you bitches

I also love her for putting me onto her gay BFF who is gorgeous 😈

Obese models aren't any better than anorexic models. Both are unhealthy. Only hypocrite bitches would argue. I agree with OP, I also need beauty, glamour and stunning models. I need to dream in a time of pandemic and crisis I don't need to get even more depressed than I already am.

"unrelatable minorities"?

Yet another gay racist on DL. Oh, the irony. Do you really not realize how dumb you look right now? Putting down a minority group when you're the main one who should understand the struggle for representation. It's quite pathetic.

"Woke" people are dictating everything now. This is the world they want for us. We can't laugh at whatever we want, we can't dream anymore because they might be offended/schocked, we can't openly talk about whatever we want because they say so.

Progressive they say.

Happy now?

Op, It is the world of individualism. To be exact, the world of frustrated people who absolutely want to be "represented" in order to exist. Because according to them, they will feel SO MUCH better about themselves. This is only a minority of activist people who gets on the nerves of everyone. Our dreams are over. They want to force us to dream of THEM. The smartest know that It's about power, not representation.

Their navel and their little egos come first.

“LGBT artist” r17? Does that even mean anything anymore? Oh she’s bi. Big whoop.

She may be a fine musician but that doesn’t mean the world needs or wants to see her in her underwear.

R22 Be careful, they are going to say you're a racist. Because of course if you don't think she's a gorgeous obese woman in her underwear you might be a racist. Your taste doesn't matter.

[quote] I SHIT MY TRUTH IN #MYCALVINS

There, fixed it for that Orca at the OP.

Calvin Klein making clothes for obese people kind of defeats the point of Calvin Klein--to make clothes for people with skinny frames.

[quote]“LGBT artist” [R17]? Does that even mean anything anymore? Oh she’s bi. Big whoop.

Bitch please. If the model looked like this, the "LGBT artist" would mean a whole lot to you cunts

[quote] If the model looked like this, the "LGBT artist" would mean a whole lot to you cunts

Definitely. That guy is in-shape and hot--not morbidly obese.

Imagine the horror of the smells between her fat folds and coming from her cunt.

Even more horrific - there are people that are turned on by this kind of thing.

These giant corporations have earned enough so they want to downsize and slowly drive customers away by using pictures of fat fraus.

R21 probably complains about lack of gay representation....but when other groups do it, it's bad!

Probably 70% of Americans are the same size as that woman (including most of the eldergays here who bitch about SJWs and representation - I bet most of you guys haven't seen your dicks in years, but shit on others so you'll feel better about yourselves)

The post at r7 looks like it’s encouraging fat people to get healthy. That’s relatable and a positive message.

They’re selling plus size clothing of course they’re going to use a larger person.

[quote]Yet another gay racist on DL. Oh, the irony. Do you really not realize how dumb you look right now?

That's what both the old thread with the exact same title posted a few days ago was about, too. I don't know why someone keeps reposting these troll threads but it's been happening for a few days, and they're always racebaiting or homophobic or something shitty like that.

I’ve never in my life bought a brand because of inclusive advertising. It’s a fucking joke.

Besides, if anything, I’m delusional enough to believe I’m close to reaching unattainable beauty standards if I just try harder. Tom Ford motivates me...not some walrus in CK.

r25 Wasn't there a Calvin quote from the 80's or 90's about the "masses with fat asses."

Oh the Irony !!

I miss the waif aesthetic of the 90's.

A much bigger market?

The same people who are attacking OP for racism because he's tired of looking ad morbidly obese black woman as models are the same people who would have issues with flat chested Asian woman and skinny men selling hip hop clothing. Have you ever seen an Asian guy on any Hip-hop ad geared to people of color in America? Or popular brands like Air Jordons?

[quote]A much bigger market?

More like an obese market.

[quote] Why do corporations use fat and/or ugly models in ads these days??

Clearly, they do it just to annoy you, OP

I miss the world before the "Wokisme" even Obama don't ike them. For them any opinion contrary to theirs is racism. The strategy from imbeciles who when they lack arguments use the racist card to silent you and especially by playing on the guilt rope. It is the fault of the" Wokes", that millions of people voted Trump. This way that the left impose their totalitarianism disguised as humanism can only generate populist votes. They will never learn anything.

^Don't like them

r34 Tom Ford is a genius (whom I would also fuck given the chance). His late 90's Gucci was legendary, beyond evocative, and remains influential to this day. Truly the stuff that dreams are made of.

I wonder what he really thinks about the ubiquitous fat rolls of 2020.

I deeply despite this era of "I am a victim". It's called blackmail and I boycott brands who uses the victimhood card like I was boycotting brands who were glamorizing anorexia. Fashion is about beauty not ugliness not morbidity.

Most ads feature nonwhites usually negroes. Unrelatable is an understatement. Most of us yearn for the days when slavery was accepted norm.

I do wonder if prince harry would have married an elderly negress if the airwaves had not been saturated with advertising featuring negroes.

You can always tell when a fatty has been triggered. They pull out all the stops to get a thread nuked.

You are just not used to woman with a little meat on their bones OP.

FYI her house needs it's own Tasteful Friends thread.

R48 The first thing that I saw was "SHAKE MY BEAUTY". Lol it's too pathetic for me. "Shake my Beauty" = look at me, look at me, look at me ...

No thanks. Girl, what you need is a good nutritionist. Morbid obesity is not healthy, it's no beautiful.

When your clothes fit and look sharp, you feel good about yourself, no matter what size.

Diversity and inclusion in advertising are very important and necessary.

Consuming copious fashion imagery as a teen in the 90's didn't give me an eating disorder or make me want to kill myself, as the SJW's of that day would have you believe. Instead, it inspired me. It added fantasy to my routine suburban existence and fuelled my dreams. I never missed an issue of Vogue back then.

R48 I felt sorry for these people. Imagine the shame they have when looking at the mirror every day. But I still do not understand how a person becomes that fat. You will need a mountain of food to sustain this physique. I would rather starve than stuff that much food in my mouth.

Cause most people are fat and/or ugly

So brave! So amazing!

Normalizing obesity creates an incremental new market of aspirational consumers who buy more shit besides the shit they shove in their mouths. Tell the fatties they're fabulous and you get whatever's in their wallet.

R17 Great song! I love songs I can’t sing the lyrics to without losing my career. Totally awesome.

r48 I need a palette cleanser after that...

R45 The good ole days, amiright? 🤣

R50 "Diversity and inclusion in advertising are very important and necessary."

Once again the hypocrisy of the so-called Woke persons. Diversity and inclusion, on the other hand you vomit it out when it comes to underweight or anorexic women. As if obesity was less dangerous. You all are a bunch of psychopaths.

R55 PREACH!

The fat models ate all the skinny models

Celebrating average people instead of pushing people to reach ideals. That's we do now. Get with the program.

In the same vein, if you don't have something you're a victim of discrimination. No need to change and better yourself. Just complain. The bar can always be lowered for you.

You're ugly but want to be worshipped as a model? Just cry for more diversity. Want to have an oscar? Complain about how minorities are under-represented. Want to get admitted to UC Berkeley and SAT is too difficult? Remove SAT as an entrance criterion on the basis that is socially discriminative.

The possibilities are infinite. The race to the bottom has only started.

R55 I think you're right. In the past people with unusual or unhealthy bodies (both morbidly obese and anorexic) often dressed in nondescript clothes in order to not draw more attention to it. But obesity isn't unusual anymore and having obese people participate in fashion trends, fast fashion, luxury labels etc. - it opens up a huge new market, with a lot of potential $$.

I think it's nice for larger people that they can dress in fancy clothes as well, but there's a difference between not bullying people for being fat and celebrating the very fact. The whole Health At Every Size and "fabulously obese" trend is disturbing to me and it will probably contribute to the obesity-related health crisis, especially since fat activists love influencing impressionable teens that would still have a good chance to improve their health without suffering irreversible long-term effects of obesity (like tons of excessive skin for example). Crab mentality, if you ask me.

I see plenty of fat ugly people in real life. I want glamour in media.

Why did I have to watch the artistic cartooning of Dame Chrissy Metz last night for our NYE coverage?

The world has gone insane, that’s why OP.

Never mind that the "unrelatable minorities" might want to be able to see someone *they* can relate to in media. But they don't have any money anyway, so the hell with them.

I don't want to see ugly fat people. They're gross and they make me depressed.

R59, I never said anything like that. All body types should be shown to encourage everyone to try out a product or service. It's not "woke" to want everyone to feel included and accepted and loved.

Representation should be for all, whether plus-sized or skinny, like recently-deceased 1996 Gap model, Stella Tennant.

[quote] "Masses with fat asses"

LMFAO. Even in the 80s, did Calvin know like 50% of America would end up being fat or obese? Hmmm.

OP is a racist troll, and anyone who posts on here and agrees with them are the same. I know they don't have the mental power for introspection, so this post won't make an impact with them. But it should still be pointed out.

Andy Warhol used to bitch about seeing guys with 36" waists wearing designer jeans. He said it looked disgusting. If only he knew that a 36" waist would be considered rather svelte in the coming decades.

R70 Feeling beter in your offended skin? There is nothing racist here, but thank you for showing exactly what people were saying about the racist card to silent others when brainless like you don't have argument. "Minorities" are not only poc, you retarded.

Plus sized clothing manufacturers should use plus sized people in their ads. Its not hard to understand.

R72 OP complained about "unrelatable minorities", then posted a picture of a black woman. The subtext is just text at this point, but I wouldn't expect a smooth-brain like yourself to really understand. Like I said, you lack the mental power.

That picture from OP is about obesity not about race. You're the only one being obsessed with the race here. Imbecile R74

Lol. It's about both and you know it. If it wasn't there are many times more plus-sized white models than plus-sized POC that OP. But for some reason, Op was particularly bothered by this one.

So congratulations R75! You just discovered that post can be about TWO things at the same time! I know it might be hard for you to juggle two concepts at the same time, but I believe in you,

Wow, white people are on fire.

Says a white savior

says a racist

No. White people on fire is not a good thing. 2021 is not starting off well.

Says a hypocrite

What the fuck are you talking about r81?
