America has a childhood obesity problem, so until that's solved, there will be/are millions of overweight to obese little girls who want to see a short movie with a protagonist that looks like them.

yall really be trying to dissect everything from a jaded adult view and not from a child's view where representation and similarity is something they seek to develop a sense of belonging

I feel you… but the plan should be to stop people from being cruel, abusive and judge mental toward them, not promote obesity as generally acceptable. At the end of the day we DONT want kids to be obese. You don’t push belonging to something that is not in the best interest of the child. That’s how they build bad habits that are destructive later on in life.

With that said, I haven’t seen it so who knows what approach they are taking…. But I hope the message isn’t “being fat is okay, you don’t have to change anything about it and everyone else should accept as okay too”

I see what you’re saying but

The message is usually “it’s ok” .

Nothing wrong with a kid being fat , but if the message to that fat kid is going to help shorten their lifespan, it’s a bad message

Crazy world

 

[Orbital-Fetus]

Its a villian origin story, maybe

Lowkey genius.

These characters are like idols for people with no self-identity or value.

i think the plan is more to circumvent obesity, and it relies on engaged parents to build and enforce good eating habits and get/keep their kids active and not sedentary in front of screens. we won't change people's behavior toward fat people tho unless they stop being seen as less than, and part of that are things like this, showing they can be a main character.

lastly, some kids are just bigger, not due to being unhealthy, and they end up dropping the baby fat/weight in middle or high school, you can send a message about striving for better health and not have it centered on hating your size

Click bait title. It's just a Pixar short film. They use the shorts to touch on topics they won't go into too deeply in their main stream releases. They did one with an autistic protagonist, another one with a gay protagonist, and one about being a woman in corporate America.

In the long history of marvel I'm sure there are already fat comic book characters that aren't villains or comic relief. Watch people complain, and all the fake outrage when one of those pre-existing characters gets adapted

It's funny how men deal with being fat by doing fat guy things. Our rotund brothers become offensive linemen, defensive tackles, chefs, lumberjacks, power lifters, construction workers, first basemen, rappers with stage names that unironically begin with "Heavy" or "Big," mall Santas, Italian patriarchs, later-stage Elvis impersonators, etc. Say what you will about it, but men have been owning their lipid content from Day 1.

Women deal with fat by creating global movements to force others to view stuffing their face vociferously, laziness, and the consquences to their health as acceptable. The worst part is them trying to blur the lines between fat and thick (it's 2 TOTALLY different body types). In doing so, they've deluded a large part of society into believing they're the ones who are now "Owning it."

You know what they own? A graveyard of broken New Years resolutions as big as a World War II battlefield, Youtube inspired contour lines, and a treadmill in the basement or bedroom that's nothing more than an expensive clothing rack. Fat Jesus, please take the wheel with the hand that's not holding a triple cheeseburger
