“…Throughout the COVID‐19 pandemic, socially stigmatizing experiences (i.e., more group‐based threats to belonging, including weight stigma and racism) were continual undercurrents. For instance, people with obesity continually heard messages during the pandemic about their weight putting them at risk for COVID‐19 complications, often framed by the media and others in a stigmatizing fashion (Flint, 2020; Lucibello et al., 2021; Pearl, 2020; Pearl & Schulte, 2021). In addition, anti‐Asian racism and discrimination were in the public limelight over the past year, stoked by an anti‐Asian narrative surrounding the cause of the pandemic (Elias et al., 2021; Gover et al., 2020).…”

The COVID‐19 pandemic, an external stressor with multiple stressful sequelae, has fundamentally changed people's lives over multiple years. In this article, we first review research demonstrating that the pandemic has negatively impacted people's sense of belonging and health over time. Next, we draw upon decades of theoretical and empirical work demonstrating that threats to belonging and mental health problems are highly interrelated, with increases in the former driving increases in the latter. We then extend this discussion to physical health, drawing upon a wealth of theoretical and empirical work demonstrating that threats to belonging are a risk factor for longer term health problems and premature mortality. We also highlight potential mechanisms linking threats to belonging and health, with a focus on sleep and immune function. Throughout, we review how pre‐existing vulnerabilities may moderate these processes. We conclude with empirically supported recommendations for policymakers interested in addressing these issues.

“…Some monologues presented how people cope with COVID-19 quarantine and texting while intoxicated in various humorous texts to create relatable situations with the audiences. First, the sentence "I know you've been alone for a really long time" and "I share your enthusiasm for once again wearing pants with no drawstring and getting out there" from 0:21-0:30 which give a jab of humorous prejudice that people tend become lazy in quarantine, sitting around the house doing close to nothing (Lucibello et al, 2021;Ram et al, 2020) or working while inappropriately dressed which worked for some people (Lo, 2020). In this case, observational comedy is used as a mode to present comedic value in the scene.…”

Humour was and is commonly used as a creative means in advertisements. Adult humour specifically commonly used in mature focused products advertisements or in a restrictive timeslot. Don’t Aviation and Mint itself was an advertisement for both an alcohol beverages and mobile phone services with plenty of sexual innuendos that uploaded in Ryan Reynolds’ Youtube channel in which could be accessed even in restricted mode of Youtube. Thus, this study aims to (1) analyse the Don’t Aviation and Mint video for semiotic patterns and (2) elaborate how humour is used in the aforementioned video. It was carried out using a descriptive qualitative approach with semiotic analysis based on the Saussure model of sign. The narrative analysis of the signs unravels the use of humour as an explanatory tool, creative ways in structuring the advertisement and inciting audiences’ attraction. This study also shows that Don’t Aviation and Mint used adult humour in various ways in both monologue and visual aspects. The adult humour itself was presented with varying degree of clarity through farce, slangs, a swear word and emojis.

“…More than 3.6 billion people are connected worldwide, and this number is projected to increase to 4.41 billion by 2025 (9). Problematic social media use has become especially concerning during the COVID-19 pandemic (10)(11)(12)(13)(14). Emerging research on "#quarantine15, " a hashtag on platforms including Instagram and Twitter that features stigmatizing-posts related to weight gain during the pandemic, shows that individuals may be increasingly exposed to content that emphasizes thinness as a normative ideal and perpetuates disputed notions of the self-controllability of weight (10,14).…”

Weight Stigma and Social Media: Evidence and Public Health Solutions

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Weight stigma is a pressing issue that affects individuals across the weight distribution. The role of social media in both alleviating and exacerbating weight bias has received growing attention. On one hand, biased algorithms on social media platforms may filter out posts from individuals in stigmatized groups and concentrate exposure to content that perpetuates problematic norms about weight. Individuals may also be more likely to engage in attacks due to increased anonymity and lack of substantive consequences online. The critical influence of social media in shaping beliefs may also lead to the internalization of weight stigma. However, social media could also be used as a positive agent of change. Movements such as Body Positivity, the Fatosphere, and Health at Every Size have helped counter negative stereotypes and provide more inclusive spaces. To support these efforts, governments should continue to explore legislative solutions to enact anti-weight discrimination policies, and platforms should invest in diverse content moderation teams with dedicated weight bias training while interrogating bias in existing algorithms. Public health practitioners and clinicians should leverage social media as a tool in weight management interventions and increase awareness of stigmatizing online content among their patients. Finally, researchers must explore how experiences of stigma differ across in-person and virtual settings and critically evaluate existing research methodologies and terminology. Addressing weight stigma on social media will take a concerted effort across an expansive set of stakeholders, but the benefits to population health are consequential and well-worth our collective attention.
