Maybe the ad campaign should have used different dancers.
Fat people offended by those with normal BMI. Should be in breaking news as this is hugh!
Isn’t that what makes ballet work in the first place...the awesome physical power and grace the dancers have? Dancers also seem to be in a class all by themselves, so how can anyone think they have to compete with them? Why not just enjoy their vigor and beauty (and be inspired to get off your fat aah, lol!)?
They usually leave out any description of the behavior that led to the insult. :)
This reminds me of the masterful short story, “Harrison Bergeron”, by Kurt Vonnegut:

“My experience as a racialized woman”
Wth is a “racialized woman”? Did someone come along and cover her with spray-on tan?
Actually, most female ballet dancers are not healthy at all. A lot of them develop eating disorders due to the extreme pressure to be ultra thin.
They really abuse their bodies and push beyond reasonable limits. Many of the dancers you see are in a lot of pain or worse.
It’s a very tough life.
Some people are enraged when they see people who are prettier, smarter, healthier, etc, than themselves.
It’s called “envy”.
Maybe the ad campaign should have used different dancers.
Skinny chick hate. Typical. Don’t worry ladies, I’ll protect you from the jealous Hippos!
Idealism isn’t PC.
Striving for success promotes inequality.
Let’s instead reward failure, worship ugliness, romanticize poverty and ignorance, and build monuments celebrating victimhood.
