When I was a kid, me and some other kids were obsessed with Inuyasha and would play out the different characters during recess. However, I wasn’t allowed to be any of the main characters and a new episode had come out featuring an inhuman monster they called “The Peach Man” and they said I was The Peach Man. I hadn’t seen it yet and when I got home I watched the episode and cried because I knew they were making fun of the fact that I was a fat kid. I just wanted to be included and have fun, but when I was a kid, my weight often served as a barrier for me to have friends or get to do normal kid things. Not because of physical limits but because I faced a lot of bullying over how fat and unacceptable I was to other people.
