While others targeted the mindset of woke culture in the genetics of the Moana Bikini company. The company founder Karina Irby hit back at people criticising the body positivity advertisement. She revealed, “Moana has been empowering ALL bodies since 2011. This video really should [sic] shock you at all. If you have to announce your ‘anger' I strongly urge you to listen too – YOU NEED TO CALM DOWN by Taylor Swift, as I believe it was written for you.”
The male model who worked in the advertisement also slammed the people taking offense. Jake Young said, “There are many different types of women. Women with different anatomy to what you consider ‘normal.' I am not a woman nor have I ever claimed to be. This post is simply empowering a minority and I'm forever grateful for that. Your hate is a reflection of your own insecurities, not mine.”
