RAmos basement This doesn't involve you so be quiet

Seriously? You need to toughen up. Seriously

Is this same to females in the opposite but equal debate?​@@annwethenorth

Thank you for the love, Dan!

Also, as a parent it’s our job to provide them the tools to protect themselves. Education, talking, knowledge and understanding are all things that help fight this dynamic in society and build the resiliency we’re looking for in our kids.

Awareness about what?

​@@Stephen-lt1tp How toxic to young people (well, to all people really) the whole culture of "social" media and influencers is. That is a problem.

@@SolarWebsite what type of social influencers? Do you mean the girls prostituting themselves on only fans or the men promoting masculinity?

Thank you for the support!

Because its build to hit insecurity and manipultaing your feelings.. Together: indeed, that does not mean you will attack a branche for sexualising the females.. while your own company is aimed towards a weak target audience showing beautiful woman in all commercials.. who is the suckers here? We or you exploiting the weak audience? I want answer DOVE, not PHAT CHICK PROPAGANDA IN GAMES.. Results, less respect for big phat woman, why do they need to spoil my fun, or even interfere in my entertrainment.. BUILT SELFESTEEM, instead of feeding INSECURITY, PROMOTING UNHEALTHY OBESITAS, we know, large body, means body lotion will be empty more quick.. DOVE YOUR EFFING RATS, YOUR THE ONE WHO IS TOXIC, WITH YOUR TOXIC COMPANY MODEL BUILD ON INSECURITY AND PROMOTING UNHEALTHY OBESITAS.

Weak and effeminate men ones sure.

Hi Ben. Our Dove Self-Esteem Project is designed for boys and girls. Research we conducted found that 80% of girls use retouching apps by the age of 13, and other research has shown that girls suffer disproportionately from low-self-esteem due to unrealistic beauty standards. Because of this, we chose to focus this campaign on girls, but the resources and tools are available to support all young people. 💖

@@doveunitedstates You're right

​@@doveunitedstates please share the research that you've conducted. All the research that i've found didn't segregate by gender. IMO, this is yet another example of society, not caring about males or in this case boys. If your self-esteem project is designed for boys and girls, how come it doesn't reflect on your marketing?

@@doveunitedstates You’re doing a great job! There’s nothing wrong with focusing specifically on one gender or age group, particularly those of the highest risk. The research noted in the ad showed the particularly negative impact social media has had on young girls, and the short film addressed this accordingly. This doesn’t minimize the challenges young boys face, it was simply meant to speak to girls, and did so beautifully.

? i think the same, but they keep going to dubai for sex trips, with milionaires... oh wait your talking about fantasy problems... ahhhh ok. gl then.

Thank you for the support!

cool so… no. nope. this is the opposite of a solution actually lmao. not only is it an unreasonable suggestion but it’s utterly oxymoronic in delivery. to advise others to eliminate their social media accounts from the social media account you created for RU-vid is “do as i say, not as i do.” considering this short film is designed specifically to open up the eyes of parents to teenagers and tweens in order to offer a lifeline for open, honest, respectful, and healthy dialogue that can be accessed by their children if they are struggling with their self image or for ent reason whatsoever. what your “solution” is actually implying to youths, especially those who may be developing or already have developed a dysmorphic view their own body, that it’s their fault they feel this way because they didn’t eliminate their social media. in layman’s terms, by suggesting to any individual living in today’s digital, modern society, that their only option for being at peace with their bodies is only possible after disconnecting from their digital social selves. i’m not even gonna exemplify income earned thru social media as someone’s full time job in this comment. but ill st least clarify that for those people having social media is a financial death sentence. so to anyone reading the original comment of this thread comment, i hope you’ll also see my response because this is so far from a “solution,” it’s instead its own problem and an example of toxic influence online. this comment comes full circle trying to offer a solution to a problem that she exemplifies. She/he invalidates anyone feeling not pretty enough, not strong enough, or just not enough period after scrolling thru their personalized feeds on their social medias. the influence of digital life is undeniably real & inescapably necessary. so in order to prevent this potentially irreversible destruction that those consuming content and being blindly manipulated and influenced by those beyond their screen require open and honest dialogue between everyone but especially between parents and their children. instead of allowing the minds of society’s youth to be taken advantage of by those who are trying to convince them to seek to achieve whatever unrealistic idea of perfection personified thru spending money until they hate themselves or they’ve done something permanent they regret. we the adults, must communicate that its a constant struggle for everyone when pondering their identity, self image, self esteem, and it always will be. that level of self awareness is very very hard to understand and id argue that most people never will be able to introspect in a way that allows them to stop selfishly seeking perfection but to instead prioritize selfless acts of compassion and respect especially if you have neighbors (on a macro level) who are less fortunate than you and you have the time to donate. the constant innerpersonal struggle of humanity is real, exacerbated by digital existence and only changes within society as a whole thru teaching our youth the need to always consume content skepticizing its intent and critically thinking about what is gained by the few if the many hate themselves. frankly not even all content is consumed intentionally… so arming the youth with the critical thought necessary to safely traverse digital media to avoid being directly manipulated and taken advantage or directly targeted and bullied for things beyond their control (skin color or sexual reproductive organs) provides invaluable tools from which are beneficial to everyone and promotes a safety net for the child thru the parents cultivation of the child’s trust and intelligence regarding their ability to ASK FOR HELP (the most difficult thing to do for many [i can only speak from my direct experience as a citizen in a developed nation]) if they become confused by something they’ve seen online.

No, the people on it are who cause trouble.

I totally agree with prevention. Another important thing all women should be taught is proper nutrition (healthy fats, protein, and carbohydrates). If women learn how to properly fuel their bodies for their menstrual cycle it would prevent a lot of eating disorders. Eat ENOUGH of the right foods and focus on nourishment, not restricting. Keep healing girl. - From one ED Warrior to another 💕

Thank you for sharing your story 💖

Thank you for sharing something so personal and vulnerable, while also educating us and candidly talking about our Creator. What grabbed me most is when you said we should start teaching body acceptance and body image as soon as the kids can remember things. That’s was so powerful and real to me. Because I can remember things as far back as 2 years old. Anyway, once again thank you. ❤

​@@doveunitedstates nice video

💖💖

No didn’t you hear? It’s a “short film”. Ads are things people skip! But this is a work of art. This isn’t a crass appeal to broads with wads by a marketing campaign that Cracked already called condescendingly misogynistic _eight years ago_ WE’RE A FAMWIY! This is NO LESS a statement worthy of Sundance, than the new Lion King is worthy of the “Best Live Action Film” award!

So what if Dove is the sponsor/maker of these informative short films...at least they're making parents and girls aware. I also didn't see them pushing their products, only a small icon. No different than any other product sponsors do. This is a wonderful and positive direction at least! Katherine

​@@katherineproulx5916the reason this is still an ad is because it's supposed to give you a positive association with dove brands that are "the good guys." It's still a form of manipulation.

@@Labneh9102 I still don't own a Dove product, but this video has impact. Shame on them though.. shammme. 🤣🤣

Yeah I know it’s the same for boys and girls especially for boys it’s weight why’s I saw this in theaters and I was pretty upset acting like this doesn’t happen to boys when it is actual worse most fat men Die from diabetes or depression you are a great mom keep going

Nobody cares about boys/men in this leftist society.

Yes, this is what I'm talking about, any gender can feel this way its the same almost

They should change it from girls to kids.

@@benpincus5737 fr they should honestly change this to kids in general

You are amazing! We are so so sorry to hear this 💖

why would you want to brainwash boys into propaganda? after 30 years i realized women love to fall for them, either religion hokus pokus watever... but could you leave boys alone? just get a covid vaccine and carry on with the 3 years you have left after it, and leave us alone.

I agreee

💖💖

Hi there! We agree this issue is important to everyone and believe in inclusive education, specifically for self-esteem. That's why we created the Dove Self Esteem Project which is designed to help all young people, so the 35 million+ lives we've reached includes boys as well.

Same

My mom too. I love her, it hurts though. I gained weight recently because I couldn’t exercise well (I tore my left ACL a year ago), with all the motivation of exercising going down the drain. She commented on my weight gain, recommending smoothies, going to the gym with her, losing weight before upcoming trips. It hurt hearing everything knowing it’s not necessarily my fault I’m gaining weight so much.

Can’t depend on nobody but yourself remember that, something I tell myself a lot since I know what it feels like too. Hope you do great things.

🥰

You know that that includes the social media that you're using right now to make that comment, right? Think before you speak.

@@TheEmpressReborn I do. And I did think before I speak. I want it all destroyed.

They said the same thing about books in the 1800s, then the telephone, then the TV.. in other words, this is not new. What is new is the level of immediacy and toxicity that exists. I don’t believe in deleting it all. I think learning about its effects, understanding it, and then discussing it with your kids is going to be way more powerful. Social media is a neutral vehicle; it’s how it is used by people that can harm or heal.

@@veronicanappen7523 lmao neutral my ass.

@@veronicanappen7523 I agree with you. People are going to be stuck in the past, like 08si. The best thing to do is to learn how to harness social media for good, not get rid of what you don't understand.
