They mad cause she bikes to keep her not fat figure making her hubby sex her.

Social media users quickly criticized Peloton for supposedly peddling negative body images and proliferating unhealthy marital dynamics. At one point in the ad, the woman looks at her husband in a way that suggests she's seeking his approval of her efforts.

lol looking at her spouse in love is "proliferating unhealthy marital dynamics.". I'm not really a fan of marriage myself but I do wonder if this has anything to do with divorce rates being so high in modern days. I don't think the ad is the one with unhealthy marital views.

The commercial is over-the-top melodramatic nonsense, but I don't think it is particularly sexist.

Just really, really dumb.

Pretty much this, it is cheesy AF but I don't get the outrage at all

Couldn't she have hinted through the year that she might have wanted a Peloton bike?

And wasn't there a Peloton commercial within the last few years where the wife gives a sly "smirk" at the end that kind of shows that she manipulated her husband into buying her one? Did anyone have an issue with that one?

That is totally acceptable and encouraged.

Actually nevermind, I rewatched the old commercial and I was wrong. Her smirk at the end wasn't related to manipulating him into buying the bike. It was because he was giving it to her as a present, but she had discovered it and had subsequently been using it before he officially gifted it to her. She was smirking because she was acting as if she was surprised about the bike, but she knew all along

Regardless though, being mad at this commercial just seems like people are looking for something to be mad about.
