"We wish to speak with your seventh son."
"I only have six sons."
"Impossible! Are you not, yourself, a seventh son?"
"I am."
"But you have only six offspring?"
"No, Merle, my daughter-"
"Dad," Merle said, "they speak truth. I... I haven't told you, but... I am your seventh son."

the tldr takeaway is: dear authors, creators, and so on...
if you're including fat people only to use fatness as visual shorthand for "bad person", just don't write them in.
i would rather watch a thousand things with only skinny people in it than suffer through another jackass's unexamined fatphobia.
if you were planning to do this, consider: don't. and consider: don't not just include that character, but don't fucking CREATE. don't speak a word until you sort your pathetic shit out.
@interneteh this is true for most crises
migration crisis -> global inequality crisis
refugee crisis -> habitat destruction crisis
financial crisis - > speculation crisis
climate crisis -> not-giving-a-fuck-about-our-children-crisis
Also, just the rent crisis. There is nowhere in the country where minimum wage covers rent
Your ethnicity is not "white"
You may have been told that it is, but it is not. "White" is not an ethnicity.
White is a social construct. Our notion of "white people" is nothing more than an outdated concept, created for the purposes of oppression and division. The entire idea of race is no different, and stems from imperialism. It has no valid scientific basis whatsoever. It's divided humanity for centuries, and still does.
There are 87 distinct European ethnicities, like Basque, Faroese, Croat, and Dane. There is no single group called "white".
But you know what kind of people use terms like "ethnically white"? Nazis.
a bug, not a feature.
