“no, i said she was fucking goofy”

Sportscaster Dale Hansen defends student wrestler Mack Beggs and takes a stand against transphobia

listen. if you include a fat character in your story only to reduce them to nothing but the comic relief side character, or to just have a bunch of fucking fat and food jokes being made that center around them, then honestly? don’t fucking include them. because there’s no fucking point. i would rather have no fat characters in something, then have a fat character that’s represented with these shitty, harmful stereotypes. because yes, they are harmful. especially the fucking food jokes. stop leading into the bullshit that all fat people are fat because they eat a lot of food. how much someone eats is not the only factor of weight. and what is the point of including a fat character if you’re just going to joke about their weight? like what makes you think that’s good representation if they’re literally just there to be made fun of??? it isn’t. and having them be comic relief is also honestly annoying at this point. they’re always the comic relief side character. give me smart fat characters, give me fat characters that can kick some fucking ass, im tired of fat people being reduced to nothing but damn jokes. either treat your fat characters better or tbh don’t fucking include them at all cause there’s no damn point if you’re just going to give them shitty treatment.
