Recently, the 2024 swimsuit wall calendar released by Coconut Tree Company has become the focus of heated discussions on social **. This wall calendar shows the figures of bikini beauties and macho men intertwined, presenting a never-before-seen picture that has attracted a lot of attention. Some people think that this is a challenge to traditional aesthetics, and some people think that this is just the consistent practice of the old wall calendar, and the big debate about the bottom line of aesthetics is becoming increasingly fierce on social **.
During this period, actor Xu Dongdong posted on social ** in response to the controversy over the swimsuit calendar. She fondly recalls the beautiful calendar girls she saw when she was a child, emphasizing the confidence and sunshine they showed. In her opinion, whether it is plump or bony beauty, the swimsuit beauties on the old calendar are an expression of beauty and should not be ashamed. The response was like a breath of fresh air, bringing some warm concoction to the controversy.
As a pluralistic and complex concept, aesthetics vary widely depending on the era, culture, and individual differences. The picture presented by the coconut tree wall calendar may challenge the traditional aesthetic bottom line on some level, but it is also this challenge that gives us the opportunity to re-examine and reflect on society's definition of beauty. Such controversy may be a necessary touch to inspire understanding and respect for aesthetic diversity.
However, the Coconut Tree Company clarified that the calendar was not for sale, citing internal preservation. Although this response clarified that the wall calendar was not a commercial product, it also rekindled a review of the historical controversy of the Coconut Tree Company. The company has been fined several times for advertising, and this time the swimsuit calendar seems to have put the coconut tree in the spotlight again.
This event provoked reflection on aesthetic standards and boundaries. We should recognize that aesthetics is the embodiment of individual subjective feelings, and while accepting multiple perspectives, we also need to maintain respect for the aesthetic choices of others. It is only through equal and open discussion that aesthetic diversity can coexist, so that everyone can enjoy their own unique beauty.
