Dove jumps into the Brendan Fraser fat suit 'controversy,' demands better representation

As you know, Brendan Fraser won Best Actor at the Oscars for his performance in “The Whale,” in which he plays a 600 lb. recluse. The film also won the award for best hair and makeup for making Fraser look like a 600 lb. man. As we reported earlier, one woman claimed that “fat suits are harmful” and decried “fatphobia” while also comparing Fraser’s performance to blackface.

Curiously, Dove, which has been trying to associate its brand with #LetsChangeBeauty, decided to jump into the fray and called for Hollywood to stop giving fat suits awards. We don’t think the film was trying to portray Fraser’s character as beautiful (he turns off his webcam while teaching his class). He didn’t like the way he looked, but if he just took a tip from Dove, he might learn to love his morbidly obese body and even declare himself beautiful.

Stop giving fat suits awards ‼️ We want better representation in Hollywood. #LetsChangeBeauty

Yet another brand trying to actively drive away it’s customer base. I will never understand it.

Anyone else find it odd that the parent company of Dove also owns @benandjerrys? Healthy at any size, a pint at a time. Of course you have to tell women that they’re beautiful, and if they don’t feel that way, here, have some Tonight Dough. It’s on purpose. It’s all on purpose.

Why is the soap tweeting again?

I don't know who y'all have running this account, but they sure aren't making this company look good.

Is Dove finally doing their own brand of rag on a stick? pic.twitter.com/kMeFNQ97fs
