Can we stop with the "fat is ugly" trope? (rant)

This story had promise but as someone who is overweight (a former athlete with multiple surgeries) I get so sick and tired of dramas using the "she would be beautiful if she was skinny" device. I've seen some girls who were skinny turn beautiful when they put on weight and some cute chubby girls turn ugly as skinny girls. This trope is right up there with "if she didn't have glasses she would be beautiful".

You know what? I have glasses and I bought contacts and you know what happened when I wore my contacts? I stayed ugly. My eyes just got smaller. I never knew I had small eyes until I wore contacts. Who knew my glasses made them bigger?!

And can we stop with the fat suits?!

Find a fat actress. There are many of them that they can be found even in Asia. The fat face is ridiculous. My body is fat and my face is chubby but I don't look like I swallowed a stone or balloon. Some of us are literally starving ourselves to get skinny and we remain the same because our genetics hate us also we have thyroid issues and one thyroid was removed due to a 5-inch tumor that I've complained about for a decade and doctors ignored just saying "lose more weight" but I digress.

Also, I'm fat and I used to deliver food. I have NEVER wanted to eat my customer's food especially after I drop it on the floor. Like what the hell was that scene about? We have to set up the "meet cute". That's not cute. That's defamation of fat people. Oh, fat people are disgusting and can't stop themselves from eating, what monsters they'll eat your food if you're not fast enough to come to the door.

Did I feel personally attacked watching this? Maybe.

Did it stop me from watching this? No.

Was it wishful fulfillment of a fat girl wishing a hot guy would date me? NO!
I've dated hot guys and hot dummies cause I'm good in bed (for a fatty). See now I'm doing it. This stupid drama.
