TW CULTURAL FATNESS
You CANNOT underestimate how deep and normalized fat jokes have been in books up until maybe five seconds ago and I *still* read new books with fat jokes in them. We are talking casual offhand remarks in whimsical fairy tales. Hilarious Mr. Ha-Ha remarks from THE LOVE INTEREST. I never noticed them until I started looking through a body-positive lense as an adult and once you start, you realize how pervasive they are.
