Adidas... It's a multinational corporation. The fact that such an ad was created means that the pursuit of diversity is a global trend... I hope nobody calls this repulsive or whatever, how about you guys start thinking about whether you're too obsessed with Korean standards?

What's repulsive about this?ㅋㅋ If you're overweight, you need to work out more. I think showing an image like that would be a positive motivation for these people

3. [+439, -905]
Why are they shooting an ad with someone who clearly doesn't f*cking work out for work out clothes?

The best replies are hopelessㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ They claim that heavier people don't work out, but when they're shown working out, they claim that it's repulsive? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Huh? Do you think heavier people don't work out????? Will you say the same thing towards weightlifting athletes???? Their skins aren't flopping around though

It feels like you guys are coming straight for male communities. I agree that this image doesn't represent the usual work out junkie image, but I wouldn't call this repulsive... You guys sound like the kinds of bullies who would whisper about obese people coming to the gym to work out and make them leave

Freaking repulsive

This is seriously unpleasant

I didn't think anything of the ad;; I just viewed it as a normal Adidas ad

Quote from unbannBLACPINK

i fear the reaction would've been very different if it was a fat korean person in a korean brand's ad

Idk I don’t think korea is a monolith represented by the cherry picked comments that netizenbuzz or whomever decides to translate with an agenda.

I’m sure there are progressive and liberal Koreans as with any country.

Quote from unbannBLACPINK

yeah

i was referring to these kinds of sites

you will have noticed they tend to have a specific mindset

You’ll find those same comments on Reddit pages centered in the US too. Incels and bigots are found everywhere

But I won’t say these same commenters will be hypocritical. They may genuinely be liberal.
