It’s been two days since that below-the-belt ad. People have been asking and tagging us on it and waiting for us to react. We recorded our reaction the same day it was launched, but as everything progressed, there were a lot of updates about it here and there which you’ll be able to hear in our episode.
What you will hear are our raw emotions just after watching the ad, our feedback, analysis, and plain old discussion on how we can all do better next time. You'll also be able to hear real-time updates in this recording as mentioned earlier.
We need to talk about this as we represent a small part of the plus-size community. We were also directly affected by the ad as we are all women suffering from PCOS in the Chubby Cheeka team. So yes, we took it personally but that's because it was personal to us. This hit us right in the core, made us question our worth, and triggered our body dysmorphia.
This episode is not about canceling anyone, we are not into cancel culture. Never have and never will be. But we are advocates of body positivity and self-love, and nothing about what we saw was positive. If anything, it was filled with hate towards the female body and the NORMAL changes we go through as women. We hope you listen to our episode and start a discussion on this. We all need to speak up and try to do better, not just for ourselves but for everyone.
Let this be a reminder to all of us that in these trying times, we all deserve a little bit of kindness.💕
