WHAT?! Victoria's Secret Goes WOKE and Has Fashion Show with Transgender Models

[@dmp1962]

I am with Amber, plus size is one thing, but Obesity should not be celebrated and I for sure don't want to look at it.

[@DonaldJoeKennedy]

I have to give Amber props. She knows that having any sort of discussion with Nomi is a complete waste of time. Amber's tolerance deserves Awards. I just hope Amber doesn't leave Rising (unless she and Robby go somewhere together simultaneously), as her talent is 100% wasted in "discussions" with Nomi.

[@jimmyjazz147]

I appreciate Amber recognizing she doesn't need to waste her time on this conversation

[@blackjackjester]

It's always funny when the hosts clearly don't want to do a segment but the producers make them.

[@paulwheeldreyer7127]

Victoria's Secret showing how out of touch they are. I know Nomiki Konst has so many bad takes, but claiming this is good for the financial bottom line of Victoria's Secret is laughable.

[@FaithfulAcresFarm]

They just lost a lot of business

[@levikender4820]

Modeling exists to model a cultural standard. Being unhealthy/obese isn’t something to model.

[@anibaljrbalt]

Add VS to the dumpster fire of anonymity.

[@craigdennis4210]

"not everyone is beautiful...beauty is in the eye of the beholder" which button do I push?

[@DonaldJoeKennedy]

Victoria's Secret stock (ticker VSCO) is at $27.75 right now. Are you, like me, thinking about loading the boat with November $20 Puts? Tell me this isn't even MORE out-of-touch than Bud Light! Guys in lingerie??? Sprinkle in some obesity as icing on the irony cake. I mean, come ooonnn...

[@popasmurf6834]

Trust me, if I were to "express my gender" aka expose myself in public I would get arrested. Your gender is not a choice.

[@richardiven2000]

Gotta love how Amber and Robby just nod along when Nomki rambles then move on from her nonsense.

[@nomdeguerre8464]

Not everything is for everyone.

[@Decade-c9k]

I'm happy that Victoria's Secret is taking this step forward.

[@The_Real_WildMonkeyDog]

“But they’re still going to go to the mall and buy Victoria’s Secret because there aren’t very many options anymore. We live in a monopolistic society and…” Ha ha ha ha ha ha! I want to see her face when she finds out you can buy things on the internet. I mean, my wife brought this topic up to me yesterday, said it was BS and she was done with VS, then proceeded to look online for things.

[@davidharris6427]

Go for it VS ask Bud Light how it worked out for them.

[@Olvera_emi]

Let’s go Amber LETS GO 📣

[@NadiaSeesIt]

This is bizarre

[@SpenceStreet]

I hope Amber is getting the support she needs. Hatred of others is a symptom of self-hatred.

[@adriennelaf5083]

Obviosly the alleged abuse of models has now extended to men.

[@jbak87]

That has been going on for decades. In the 90's there were male models complaining about the photographer Mario Testino.

[@MercAudio99]

Clearly she hasn't experienced the get well go broke movement. People making these drastic decisions and either destroying or completely losing their business. But yeah let's see how Victoria's secret does

[@J450NXIX]

What does it have to do with race? Ok for body positivity but it should exclude anorexia and obesity as well.

[@videowatcher20000]

Viewership of the show had fallen from 9.2 million viewers in 2014 to 3.2 million in 2018. Victoria's Secret had also been experiencing an overall decline due to increasing competition, as well as changing perceptions to the company's marketing-which a retail analyst described as encouraging women to objectify themselves to "impress men". The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2024 had an airtime of around two hours and registered a massive 2.67M Peak Viewers. The official channel on KZbin contributed 2.13M PV to this figure, putting it among the five most popular broadcasts this year across platforms and at the number one spot among entertainment streams on the red platform. The cope is SOOOOO real 😂

[@jbak87]

The last time I saw it was over 16 million views on KZbin alone.

[@videowatcher20000]

@jbak87 those aren't live viewers, people don't count views of reruns. That would be comparing apples to oranges. It also isn't an accurate reflection of people watching because they care to support or just checking out the fallout from the drama in the news after the fact. Just checked and the view count is at like 20 Mil. I wonder what the average watch time is tho 🤔

[@russ4moose]

I would have liked to hear Robbie's take on this one. I'd bet he's closer to Nomiki than Amber.

[@Bradp7829]

Nomiki pulling a fast one on all of us, her job is literally to defend every topic as far left as possible, we complain but we watch. Smart by the hill I guess

[@archangelmichael1978]

The cool kids nowadays call it "rage bait." It's like the old supermarket tabloids. Say the most insane stuff ever to infuriate the public. Hopefully, the people finally get sick and tired of being psychologically abused by this propaganda.

[@keeganmacnichol4694]

The decline in viewership says otherwise 😬

[@k.s.nichols4060]

Nomiki is right. I am looking forward to the NBA diversifying to include players of all different shapes, sizes, and abilities.

[@griffinarcher2911]

@@k.s.nichols4060 If the WNBA did this then maybe more people would actually watch

[@jjbama8201]

Wish I had a $1 for everytime Nomi said Toxic in this segment.

[@anerrantknight8077]

Despite saying “we live in an open society where people can express themselves,” does anyone believe Nomi hasn’t ALSO claimed the LGBTQ+ community is being targeted & conceal themselves?

[@HangenOut93]

The fashion show does nothing for me and I do for the most part fit the size demographic of Victoria’s Secret. Amber was spot on with the trans inclusion going into every women’s category, which we do not see the flip side of nearly as much. I do not have a desire to continue the broad narrative entertaining segregating by race while simultaneously saying men and women’s gender separation means nothing.

[@melodymehlen6683]

I'm with Nomiki on this. Which is not something I ever thought I'd say. 😂

[@calsekhen163]

The models are kinda like pro athletes something only for ten years and most cant do but the it was ok but didn't need the vets as much or older but ok

[@Carma123]

Several models were men dressed as women. They thought we wouldn’t notice. It’s insulting,

[@calsekhen163]

@@Carma123 that's okay as long as I know who's who don't just Maury the situation lol

[@lanceduckworth8529]

Don't mention the war ?

[@tonyg76]

Nomiki on the ball today. Better today than that embarrassing defending Bill Clinton take.

[@FaithfulAcresFarm]

It’s sad that the woman on the right has to judge other women for their size and their shape just because she doesn’t feel comfortable with her own body and something made by Victoria’s Secret

[@ald3975]

Yea, go vote kamala and virtue single because you're better right?

[@KonigGustavAdolph]

Not liking something is not the same thing as "judging" something. Unless you actually mean it is "judging" to make any distinction between two or more things.

[@Yuh_mama]

Who said she is uncomfortable in her own body? Sounds like projection from you

[@p.w.352]

Amber never said she felt ashamed of her body. She even said she was fine with plus sized models. What she said was that she didn't want to see obese women modeling lingerie.

[@MB-ep8zc]

Amber is right. It’s ridiculous to cater to everyone. You don’t see plus size men modelling or playing pro sports.
