Kristian Heiskari and Vili Viljakainen, known from reality TV, talked about overweight women as dating partners in a podcast episode that has since been deleted.
A reality TV star Kristian Heiskari and Dealfamiliar from the program Vili Viljakainen discourse Men’s sauna shift – in the podcast sparks discussion. Two episodes of the podcast were released on Wednesday morning, March 3, one of which dealt with dating.
Both of the men stated in the episode that they don’t want to date an overweight woman, because they don’t find it sexually interesting.
– My mentality is that I want to be in good shape and take care of myself. I know that if someone else is very overweight, that mentality just doesn’t come across, Viljakainen said.
– Mimmies can have big standards, but I can’t say that I don’t want the other to be fat. Is that bad? I have nothing against fat people, but I don’t want my husband to be a humpback whale, Heiskari explained.
Many have wondered about the couple’s comments on social media, including people known from the public. For example, a social media influencer Veera Bianca says in her Instagram stories that she sees men’s comments as bullying. Instagram story sections are viewable for 24 hours from the moment they are published.
– I have to say that I have never dated a man who talks about people/women like this. I wouldn’t even touch a person with a lack of empathy, or who promotes himself and degrades others, says the social media influencer.
– In the light of this week, bullying is big on the wallpaper – naming a humpback whale is bullying. Our children have no hope when adults are completely devoid of emotions, and social media behavior is inferior, downright sick, he adds.

Also a well-being coach known from TV Jutta Alarm takes a stand on men’s comments in her Instagram stories. Larm says that what the men did “really hurt” her.
– I’ve been in the welfare industry for 20 years and I’ve seen with my own eyes what happens when people start barking at a person’s appearance. Your self-esteem gets knocked down, you get flattened, and that’s really sad. No one has the goddamn right to that, Larm rants in the video of his story section.
– Do these two people think that they are somehow better, that they can publicly start spewing this kind of shit?
The wellness coach reminds us that being overweight can be caused by, for example, mental health problems. He emphasizes that losing weight is everyone’s own decision. Larm urges to encourage rather than criticize.
– Could it be that in 2024 we could stop judging other people. I think this is shocking and embarrassing, he states.

The year 2020 The biggest loser The drag artist Aarni Mikkola, who won the show, says in her Instagram stories that she cannot help but take a stand on the subject. He is currently recovering from bariatric surgery. Mikkola recently said on his Instagram account that the sick leave following the surgery is over.
He reminds us that opinions do not justify ridicule.
– I understand, men, that we all have freedom of speech and opinions, but this fat-shaming [suom. lihavien pilkkaaminen] just not ok in any way. “Humpback whale” is not a statement, it is a derogatory term for women, Mikkola reminds.
– Let’s respect each other! I wish you all the best for the continuation of your podcast, but above all higher quality content, he says at the end.

Podimo and the men’s comments
The storm episode was removed from Podimo on Wednesday evening. Podimo justified the decision in its announcement by saying that the content and language of the episode did not correspond to the values of the service.
– The publication of the episode was a mistake, and we are sorry for what happened, the announcement read.
Heiskari commented on the situation in his Instagram stories the same evening.
– Yes, it’s a hassle every time you get in front of something. Of course, let’s hope that the hassles will be more positive in the future and the content will be such that everyone’s game pants will remain intact, the man wrote.
– However, I remind everyone who browses social media and media to also focus their time on content where blood pressure remains somehow under control. I don’t wish or mean anything bad to anyone here. Let’s just open up about the topics honestly and using expressions that are sure to resonate with many people, he concluded.
Iltalehti reached Viljakainen the same evening to comment on the events by message. According to Viljakainen, the deletion of the episode was made by the joint decision of Podimo, Heiskar and Viljakainen.
– In my opinion, regarding the terminology used here, we missed a couple of places. The rhetoric should have been more factual. But yes, I think it should be okay to talk about appearance-related preferences in the opposite sex, he said.
