Dove beauty brand accused actor Brendan Fraser’s makeup artists of fat appropriation after “The Whale” won an Oscar for best hair and makeup, criticizing the film for profiting from the prominent use of a fat suit on actor Brendan Fraser.
The conversation began with someone who complained on Twitter that Hollywood studios were appropriating the identities of people who would not have needed such makeup to perform the role, arguing that they should cast only fat actors to play the roles of fat characters.
“So disappointing that ‘The Whale’ won the Oscar for best hair and makeup. Fat suits are harmful — they are not your opportunity to win awards. Our identity is not your costume. Cast fat actors to play fat characters. #TheWhale #fatphobia #fatsuit #Oscars,”
