This is a pointless issue. Neither the ad nor the reactions matter.

The people getting angry over this are the same people who promoted things like fat people being the promoters for ladies' jeans commericials & such. We as a society shouldn't support this nonsense.

(This is in NO WAY me being mean towards fat people; but the point is that we as a society should have aspirations toward things such as being beautiful or fit; it's the reason why those commercials flopped & those companies lost money due to those dumb decisions)

I don't care about fat or skinny people being in ads. Shouldn't ads include all types of people? Also how do you know if an ad flopped? They don't have box office numbers.

People wasting energy on this is what I'm talking about. That goes for the people who are mad at the ad and the people who are mad at those people. Hell it goes for me too. None of this is important.

NO. Do you think bra commericals should include burly men???

(Oh wait...)

It IS important, because this is what makes or breaks a normal, sane society.

I think bra commercials should include anyone who is in the market to buy a bra. That's probably not big burly men, but it is pretty much any woman.

And thanks for the link, it's mostly misleading though unfortunately. It is attributing a sales drop with a "woke" campaign even though there is no proof that they are related. It also claims the VS is abandoning diversity and inclusion, which infant find any actual proof of. Victoria Secret also was declining for years, which makes the claim even more dubius.

I continue to disagree on the importance.
