“Our Emma Barnes is a teenager who fiercely loves her friend [Taylor] and wants to protect her from this world and the dangers that Emma’s aware of that Taylor is not," Flanagan explains. "[She] doesn't know how to do that and thinks the way to protect her is to close her off; not punitively, but to create this private experience in school and to let her friend exist earnestly and curiously and wide open by protecting her from the world. It's a completely different dynamic."

First of all, crazy of you to assume MY weight at all, weirdo. But way to try to body shame with that “u obese people”. Yikes!!!!

Second of all, sure — you’re correct in saying that in the 1970s “overweight” had a different range. Anything over 150 lbs would’ve been probably considered heavy. In the book, she was described as “thick through the waist” and her gym teacher specifically called her “fat”. Call it whatever you want; chubby, fat, chunky, overweight. No one said she was morbidly obese. You’re being so combative, lmao. Why does it upset you so much?

There is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting Carrie to not look like every other girl or wanting her weight to be accurately represented.
