[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a luxury fitnesss brand...did they think it was going to be a bunch of chubby people touting Jenny Craig microwavable meals? Like wtf. It's a dumb commercial but I don't get why people think a brand that's aspiration based - people buying a Peloton aspire to be thin - should use overweight people.[/quote]

Bc she was already very thin. Her aspiration to be even thinner is what has people bashing the ad. [/quote]

The ad didn't say one word about being thin.  Not one.  It didn't mention weight once.  Everyone complaining about "aspiration to be thinner" is projecting their own feelings onto that fictional woman.  [/quote]

Ok well this was an explanation based on comments from people viewing the ad. You saw what you wanted and so did others. [/quote]

Not really, no.  I viewed the ad, and reported what was actually in it - the actual words used.  As I said, no mention of weight or size.  That's not seeing what I want, it's a factual description of what was in the ad.

The people who think this is about her wanting to be thinner, on the other hand, did see what they want - or what they fear, I guess.  [/quote]

Well then please go share your thoughts with the many people on Twitter who explain what they dislike about the ad. I’m sure your thoughts will be well received. [/quote]

No thanks.  I have a hard enough time explaining things to the dimwitted on DCUM - I know better than to try that on Twitter.

And in case you were wondering, yes, I am referring to you.  [/quote]

You didn’t explain anything to me but did show how you aren’t ready to step outside your comfort zone. I’m not vicious and have no desire to drag you the way Twitter would. So you are smart to stay in your safe space. You are amongst your bubble here. [/quote]
