Transcript
- 0:00Well, here's the headline, Dove partners with BLM activists in fat liberation campaign.
- 0:07Now, apparently this activists wrecked wait student with uncorroborated accusations. So first
- 0:14off, let's get to the fat liberation part here. What is that exactly?
- 0:19Liberated from the refrigerator? What does it mean? From the looks of
- 0:23her, it looks like she needs to be liberated from her own fat.
- 0:27So what's going on here? Dove is now partnering in a fat liberation campaign
- 0:32with a Black Lives Matter activist accused of wrecking a white female student's life by
- 0:37accusing her of making threatening remarks, later admitting she may not have heard the
- 0:43remarks at all, according to a new report. And guess what, it
- 0:47doesn't matter. As long as you check off the right boxes, nothing matters.
- 0:52It doesn't matter how horrible of a person you are, You're still oppressed
- 0:57and why well woke, That's why, I guess what. Corporations like Dove
- 1:02will still want to throw money at you. Now, as for this fat
- 1:04liberation business, let's take a look at Dove's website here and see what they
- 1:08have to say about it. Apparently they're supporting the movement to end body size
- 1:14discrimination. Well, I gotta say, in this picture they actually look pretty
- 1:17happy. Maybe they're taking them to Golden Corral after the photoshoot. Well,
- 1:21it says here they've got an expert partner at NAAFA. I wonder what that
- 1:26stands for. We've joined forces with the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance.
- 1:34This is a real thing, apparently against body sized discrimination. Read their research
- 1:40on fat bias and the lack of fat liberation news in the media. Yeah,
- 1:45I think I'll skip the report. It's probably mostly just recipes anyway.
- 1:49Oh, how about this Flare Project fellowship. We're funding a first of its
- 1:53kind legal fellowship to support the Campaign for Size Freedom's work to expand legal protections,
- 2:00legal protections for people living in larger bodies. So yeah, I guess
- 2:06they're going to get lawyers involved. And I'll tell you what. When the
- 2:08sign says all you can eat, it should mean all you can eat.
- 2:14And plus, it's not your fault that you can't fit in the airplane seat,
- 2:16it's the plane's fault. But let's take a look at what the woman
- 2:21in question had to say in her video. My belief is that we should
- 2:24be centering the voices and experiences of the most marginalized people in communities at all
- 2:30times. So when I think about what fat liberation looks like to me,
- 2:32do you know what fat liberation looks like to me? I imagine it's a
- 2:38flock of chickens running away from her spaces and institutions in a fat body.
- 2:43It looks like making accessible spaces and having conversations that are aware of the fact
- 2:47that people have different bodies and that they are interacting with space and people and
- 2:53institutions and communities. The language they use as if it's to give some sort
- 2:58of false weight pun intended, you're just totally empty and vacuous statements, looks
- 3:05like centering the voices and the experiences of those who live in and who maneuver
- 3:09through spaces and institutions In a fat maneuver through spaces in a fab you could
- 3:15just say you couldn't fit through the fucking door. And you know what,
- 3:20you know who's marginalized. You're not marginalized. You know who's marginalized starving people,
- 3:24She's not marginalized or oppressed. And just rule of thumb here, if
- 3:30you look like you ate the gross agricultural product of a small nation. You're
- 3:34not oppressed, You're not marginalized. The only thing a truly marginalized or vulnerable
- 3:39or oppressed person should ever have to say to her is, hey could just
- 3:46save me some And here's another thing. When it comes to oppression, self
- 3:50inflicted wounds don't count. It's your choice, live with it. Nobody's forcing
- 3:55you to take in that many calories. You know, you don't get to
- 4:00cut off your own leg and then demand that they build a rampant of the
- 4:02dunkin Donuts? And why is Dove doing this? It just is it ESG?
- 4:09Is it for the ESG score? Because when it comes to women's products,
- 4:13and there's a pretty full proof plan for marketing it, you get attractive
- 4:16women to use the product. Then other women will say that woman's attractive.
- 4:21I want to be like that. Maybe I'll use the same product. Maybe
- 4:25it'll give me a bit of what she's got. So I'm really not sure
- 4:29this is all going to work out that great. Are they going to come
- 4:30out with a new soap? It looks like a like a bar of butter?
- 4:34Anyway, That's all I gotta say about that. Please subscribe, like
- 4:38and share, share. It really helps me out I thank you for that.
- 4:41I will see you next time.
