Dove's new 'body positive' bottles spark controversy
40 replies, posted
Isn't it simply expensive and inefficient to produce the shampoo bottles in tons of different shapes? Also I think most people will just pick up the one that has the best "grip" and takes least space on the shelve. This probably causes the "normal" ones to be sold out, leaving the thicc ones lying in the markets.

So much symbolism that resonates from this product line.

I can understand being against fat shaming and bullying, because losing weight is really hard for some people and we just happen to live in an incredibly sedentary culture, but I feel like body positivity is taking that and stretching it way too far. I don't think being overweight should be seen as a positive, or anything to be comfortable with.

Wait really?
It actually wound up helping me. I have friend that push the whole "don't flat out think of yourself as ugly" thing and it wound up making me feel good enough to start going to the gym (even if that seems counter to the message).
The message I was getting wasn't "don't care about your current state of health" but rather "don't be too hard on yourself for how you look". I dunno, it just made me feel good enough to give me confidence which help kickstart my more recent exercising habits.
You know nothing Dove...

I mean i feel like the original intention of the movement was actually really good. Don't make fun of fat people, and be happy with yourself(While still trying to improve your self by working out).

sorry, i should've been more clear. i think its absurd that most cases of "body positivity" encourage people to continue their sedentary and unhealthy lifestyle. i'm happy for you that you were able to achieve a positive effect from it, but many use it as an excuse/crutch not to change themselves for the better.
most people would say that how you approached body positivity is how it was originally meant to be -- don't shun/hate overweight people, encourage them to love themselves and get the motivation to fix their health problems. however, it's evolved into a sad mess.
fuck PC culture, seriously

If only buying a different shampoo was an option! Woe is me!
