A lot of people are angry at the comments, but some agree.
Plus sized models are showing support for Nike after the athletic brand introduced their first curvy mannequin. The mannequin popped up at a Nike flagship store—located on Oxford Street in London—and was immediately slammed with fat shaming comments, both from publications and social media bystanders. A handful of women wouldn't let the negative comments get in the way of celebrating Nike's move toward body acceptance, though, and shared their support on social media.
It seems the internet has polar opposite opinions on Nike's decision. While some have posted photos and videos praising Nike for their bold, and progressive decision, others have been vocal with opinions that the plus-sized mannequin is promoting an unhealthy lifestyle. Some have gone so far as to say it's bad publicity for the athletic brand, as the weight of the statue would prohibit it from running in the first place—see this comment from Tanya Gold in the, where she described the mannequin as"An immense, gargantuan, vast. She heaves with fat. She is, in every measure, obese, and she is not readying herself for a run on her shiny Nikegear," Gold wrote."She cannot run. She is, more likely, pre-diabetic and on her way to a hip replacement.
The negative comments written by Gold, which extend much further than the one line, have been echoed on social media, but have also been rejected by many. Women including writer and model Callie Thorpe, author Megan Jayne Crabble, and actor Jameela Jamil showed their support of Nike. Others followed, posting photos with the mannequin.
Thorpe commented on Gold's article with disbelief."It's ludicrous that fat people are mocked, bullied and told to get to the gym and lose weight yet we are also told, we don't deserve the access to active wear," she said on her latest Instagram post."Do you see how ridiculous that is? Which goes to show It's got nothing to do with health concerns and everything to do with prejudice."for their said offensive statement.
