This is it. Body-positive marketing finally has gone too far.
Dove, the friendly soap company known for preaching self-love and diversity through advertisements featuring real women instead of models, recently unveiled a new line of limited edition body washes in a variety of body-shaped bottles.
That's right, precious little snowflakes, you can now have a body wash bottle that reflects the shape of your body.
According to Dove's website, the limited edition body washes aim to celebrate beauty diversity.
"From curvaceous to slender, tall to petite, and whatever your skin colour, shoe size or hair type, beauty comes in a million different shapes and sizes," the site reads. "Our six exclusive bottle designs represent this diversity: just like women, we wanted to show that our iconic bottle can come in all shapes and sizes, too."
But critics weren't buying the female empowerment shtick this time.
"@Dove Is this real? I don't care what the bottle looks like, I care if the product inside works," said one Twitter user.
"I don't want fat representation in soap bottle form. I'd prefer it in the form of fat people not being systematically treated poorly," said another.
I don't understand Dove for your body type? Do you...wear the bottle?

I found the bottle shape that correlates most closely with my body. Thanks @Dove! pic.twitter.com/ghVyGmF0zY

“...at a medium pace”.
All of the bottles are symmetrical. They’re microagressing against amputees and the naturally lopsided.
None of them have a beer gut. I’m going to sue.
...becoming the first gift for “frenemies.”
Is #3 of #7 for the woman with the big hips/small breasts? (pear-shaped body)
Puke.
You an bet NOBODY is going to buy the little fat one.
“what hump?”
I wonder how long this Obama induced PC sht madness will go on. I posted an article yesterday about the MTV awards and how they awarded Emma Stone a “genderless acting award”. What the hell does that even mean “genderless”? Does it mean she doesn’t have a vagina or genitals of any kind? And then she gives this speech thanking her co-star, who she described as a “gender non-binary identifying actor”..Say what?? Can someone please bitch slap this people upside the head ASAP?

absolutely done buying dove products after their commercials featuring queers
Where’s the 55 gallon drum?
All of the bottles are white. That’s racist. Where is the diversity?
Add cute nicknames for each body-type bottle you sell.
Now the pear-shaped bottle, that's gotta be Badonka-Dove.
That’s right, precious little snowflakes, you can now have a body wash bottle that reflects the shape of your body.

And yet - no one but a precious little snowflake could give a care what shape a bottle of soap looks like.
Although I did notice all those bottles are WHITE!
Therefore - Dove is Raciss!
It’s pretty well known that only white people use soap.
Long ago, I used Head and Shoulders shampoo. I’d been using it since I was a kid. There was only one version. Then they stopped selling the original, and replaced it with a choice of “for Oily Hair” and “for Dry Hair”. I have normal hair. I found another brand of shampoo.
All those bottles are white—I am also micro-aggressed by this great outrage. Luckily I was within staggering range of my fainting couch. I’ll be in my safe space cowering, yearning for the day when only obese disabled African American lesbians are allowed to use body wash for social justice.

I don’t see any tall fat bottles for me :)
Cowboy,
Just store it upside down.
Dove could double their effect by using those large lids like on catsup so you can store up or down (self designate your body shape).
