The Dalai Lama praises: Wedding, congratulations on bringing a girl in size 44

Tomorrow begins the fifth season of Wedding at First Sight, and with it will come the beloved, hated couples, and the endless network storms regarding the couples' behavior and relationships.

The storms rarely start before the first episode, but the fact is - the promo managed to produce a dialogue on its own

Wedding Promo Season 5 (Rainbow 12)

Say, how excited are you from one to ten ahead of the new season of Khatunami?

In my life I have not seen so many people excitedly waiting for a show since we only had one channel to watch and everything seemed magical to us.

This is the kind of program that everyone can identify with and what comes with the desire for romance - programs that connect people - every season there is a beloved couple, a hated couple, jokes that are common to all the people of Israel, and towards the middle comes the most important stamp - a compliment in the form of ridiculous characters in a wonderful country.

This season, even before the first episode airs (postponed from Saturday to Monday - tomorrow), the heated debates are already at their peak, from the

promo!

Why do I know this?

or!

I also wonder.

And the answer is - because it's said in the promo.

Already at the beginning of the promo we were explained that Maayan is "Butilishes", as if we were looking for a date on Tinder and she announces in advance so that we do not come with claims that she does not look like in the picture, and we were immediately compensated for "Butilishes".

Start by focusing on her cleavage (because if you are not thin you should at least have double boobs double or higher), immediately afterwards it is clarified to us that she is a model (because if you are size 44 you have to compensate the company with an exceptionally beautiful face and make an official diagnosis as a plus size model) , And then we are quickly informed that she is also an architect, because when you are not really thin you can not be satisfied with just one compensation - you need several, for more security.

As if we did not internalize the message, the next thing we see is her going down to the bakery and choosing for herself a chocolate ball.

Why?

Because now that we understand that even though she's not as thin as Maya Wertheimer she still has a right to exist in the dating space because she's a model and architect, we need to show her eating, getting used to it - not thinking she's going to hook up in a dark den every time she eats something other than celery.

And she is not just photographed eating, as they would photograph everyone else, but eating with great pleasure, as the 'happy and full of life' woman she is (sub-text: not thin enough) - not snacking, but pushing a chocolate ball into her face in close-up, as she says "Here's the proof that I'm fine with myself, and that I deserve to be here and seek love like any other."

If they were all presented like this - name, occupation and size of pants, I would block (just, I would not block) but it is not like that, and the very emphasis of this figure shows that even though we know exactly what is right, what is right and what we are supposed to believe - it does not matter Estimating a person's value according to his physical data - we are just as judgmental as ever and are just afraid to admit it.

In the promo Danny explains to Maayan that he was not looking for a groom to 'get along with her' who is size 44, but someone I will hire who will love who she is, which means between the lines - that it is very difficult to find someone who will love a girl size 44. That is. In this idea, lean is worth it - otherwise the promo would not have been filled with so many apologies and justifications that indicate that normalization of its various forms the body is still light years away from us.

This promo was so full of excuses and justifications that the beads of sweat of overexertion almost shortened my screen.

It literally collapses under a shaming panic and social discomfort, and has actually confirmed the suspicion of many of us - we have not really progressed - we have stayed in exactly the same place despite all the cellulite stories and instinctual accounts of women who love themselves as they are.

We stayed in exactly the same place as manophobic, self-hating, and racist (a known side effect of self-hatred).

Compensates with a beautiful face (Photo: screenshot, Keshet 12)

The period we live in is super annoying, and there are many blue who on the seashore are the things that "should" be thought, believed and said, as opposed to the things that are "forbidden", otherwise your fate, as an entity, person or reality show will be doomed to Sheaming and Kinsel in the town square.

We are told exactly what our opinion should be about everything, and there are issues that do not allow room for a drop of complexity.

Have the hashtag believe you ridiculous, Will Smith and the cape, or a preference for a lean body.

Forbidden - one should love everything equally.

In the name of diversity and social versatility we are expected to think that every body shape is ideal as it is - we must not even say in public that we have a different preference - the most that can be said in

to get a stone in the head is "I'm not menopausal Five kilos less. "

There's a lot more awareness, a lot more people who aren't skinny in prime time, starting with Joy Guetta in Survival, continuing in Oral Sabra Brocade with Stars, and more - but not enough, and mostly not enough naturally, because the truth is that with all the beautiful words we are still menopausal.

You can wave the flag of self-love until tomorrow - if we really loved ourselves as we are and do not judge more people by their weight, we would not pat ourselves on the back every time a person weighing more than fifty kilos dares to be photographed when not wrapped in a tent, or God forbid. 'Looks really good'.

This promo proves that the 'body positive' movement is just as significant as the regular casting of a lesbian, single parent who is also the CEO of a giant company and her personal assistant is male - it is important for us to look like we are open to different representations and but the same Asian cast for each series Netflix

betrays

the hypocrisy. The change comes from the mind and not the heart, and it makes the lack of acceptance and exclusion of various representations even more noticeable.

"That for the obvious we will not give them, and apparently also the Dalai Lama will not apply following the Instagram page of Israeli signatories, because we are so enlightened.

As someone who was already fat, anorexic, compulsive eater, mediocre, addicted to sports, sweet potato armchair, and by and large fighting every minute of life with body hatred and emotional eating, I hoped we were in a better place (just, I have zero expectations) so I could quietly let myself gain weight. A pound in a global epidemic, but and obviously we are not.

If we were, this promo would be preoccupied with everything related to her except her size, because that only underscored the fact that a size 44 girl is still considered less successful than a thinner girl, in the dating world, and in general.

Come on, go to training.

These calories will not burn themselves.
