Reposting this as a set…
I created this series (which I plan to do more) because I need to vent…
Ever notice how in a lot of media overweight individuals like myself are depicted in a really unfavorable way?
The Fat Character is usually:
The Butt of the jokes.
Always making cracks about food
Hardly represented as the main character
comedic relief
The list goes on and on. But can you tell me a mainstream movie or television show that has an overweight female character as the LEAD that is actually respectful?
It is really hard to name more than a handful and I just think that is really unfair…
