Do they have a way to get the adspace money back?

These people are "fit shaming" those of us who want to improve ourselves.

Which is one of the reasons why "Swole acceptance" took off, but I'm not sure what happened to that movement.

I'm actually surprised they're even allowed to use the name "Protein World," without major protests from feminists.

Protein is something we all associate with semen. Isn't that triggering to them? You assume the visual image of an actual "protein world" would make them picture a land flooded with male ejaculate, which would send them completely 'round the bend to the nuthouse.

If any feminists are reading, sorry I put that concept in your head. No, I really am. Hahahaha.

Protest ad campaign

So things just get better and better for Protein World.

From the article:

Quote:Online swimwear retailer swimsuitsforall has created its own version of the controversial “beach body” ad, featuring plus-size model Ashley Graham in a striking bikini.

Translation: fat chick in a bikini, what has been seen... etc.

Quote:It sparked worldwide controversy over body-shaming with angry costumers taking to social media to complain about the “insulting” advert. It has now been banned and Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has confirmed it has launched an investigation into it.

Ad wasn't banned and the ASA statement has been taken out of context.

I'm slightly angered to hear about the original advert being banned. For heaven's sake, its a piece of paper. All these weak minded fucks can't deal with having an image of superior physical condition being "imposed" (someone I knew actually said that they felt it was being imposed) on them without taking it as a deeply personal insult, instead of how it is meant to be taken (an idealized image that makes you go "oh, I should give that a go"...*) so they cry to the authorities to get it taken down.

* and this is what really gets me. Its there to be inspiring, not shatter evidently fragile false egos. So telling.

Do you think the guy has a lower body fat % than the girl?

Quote:Interestingly, the 24-year-old model in the ad herself, Australian Renee Somerfield has cited the irony of people getting angry about the 'body-shaming' poster, whilst body-shaming her.

In an interview with Huffington Post, the model said: 'I am a real person behind the image. I work very hard and live a healthy and active lifestyle which is why Protein World chose me for their campaign. I couldn't work every day as a full time model by starving myself, dieting or not looking after my body. Nourish your body, be kind to it and it will love you right back, no matter your size.'

She didn't add "get used to loving yourself, because no man will love a whale like you"

Absolutely. If she had that low of a BF% she would look too ripped/muscular.

Anyway, you need to keep in mind also (unfortunately) that overweight people actually make up the MAJORITY of the population in England as well as the US. Obese people alone are something like 1/3 of the population. Government action to pander to the fatties is actually pleasing the majority and makes sense from a public policy standpoint.

They had a "Taking back the beach" protest in Hyde Park. A few dozen... characters turned up:





This girl is so beach body ready she was too scared to wear a bikini in front of feminists:

wait... wut?

The girl with the pigtails seems out of place. Why is she protesting? She isn't the prettiest thing but would bang. Might have an extra limb coming out of her back though.

Groupthink? Low self esteem?

The protest wasn't dozens like you think. It was actually maybe 20 max. There's a good thread on this in kotakuinaction right now showing what really went down

Post: #66

On twitter it has been reported as around 20-30 women, apparently there were more journalists than protesters.

I love protein world so much.

Found the image you were talking about:




So either a lot of perpetually outraged losers are happy to whine on twitter and click on an online petition but don't care enough to actually attend something in real life, or the anti body shaming brigade are too ashamed of their bodies to show them.


Meanwhile Friday was International Workers Day, people in Italy did some actual protesting about real issues instead of bitching about an advert making them feel sad:

Brilliant stuff and all too rare to hear on Irish radio.

He's on twitter @ian_odoherty

Nice. Wasn't aware of someone of his ilk writing in the MSM in Ireland.

Instead of hitting the gym, building up his body and mind to be the best he can be, he choses to don a pink bikini and whine like a little piggie in a pigpen surrounded by a bunch of equally worthless little piglets.

Let this little bitch be a warning to us all, and to anyone else what can go wrong should you chose to let it.

so much hate on these people...

I am inclined to begin purchasing fitness nutrition from Protein World.

On first glance of its website, the protein seems pricey.

Can anyone comment on the quality of its products? Does it match the quality of its marketing campaign?

This thread has been a Red Pill for me. Every day, we have choices and God has given us the agency to freely choose good or ill. Our choices not only affect us and those around us but future generations.

Deuteronomy 30:19 Wrote:This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live...

What we are witnessing is a deathcult of those who are promoting deathstyles. Anyone who rejects this race to the bottom, ie the grave, is fitshamed, denounced as a Fascist, misogynist etc.

What side of the fence between life and death; blessing and cursing have I positioned myself? Are the Protein World type women whom I am naturally attracted to on the same side of the fence that I am? Or am I on the same side as the rotting SJWs and the androgynous catamite in the pink bikini?

Gentleman, Time and the flexibility to choose Life and the mental will to bring this to pass is the greatest power we have.
