Look how absolute stupid everything has become. The normalization of ill health. https://t.co/A6NWCeblru

Is it just me, or does she look a little like Greta Thunberg?
“Fat acceptance” has transformed into “fat celebration.”
They said “oh you should be nice to these people, they have a problem” and when people were like “okay, well, we don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings,” they said “actually, it is good to be fat and more people should be fat.”
Disney has debuted its first plus-size female protagonist in a short film that is being praised for exploring body positivity and overcoming self-doubt.
The animation, Reflect, tells the story of Bianca, a young ballet dancer who “battles her own reflection, overcoming doubt and fear by channelling her inner strength, grace and power”.
It forms part of Disney’s Short Circuit series of experimental films, released over the Disney+ streaming service last month.
The six-minute feature has been pitched as an uplifting tale of conquering body dysmorphia and self-doubt.
The Disney animation artist and director Hillary Bradfield, who also worked on Encanto and Frozen II, said she hoped viewers could “feel more positively about themselves and how they look” after watching the short.
“Sometimes you go to the dark place to get to the good place. And that just makes the good place that much more beautiful,” she said in an interview before the film’s release.
In a clip released by Disney over social media, Bianca is seen practising ballet in front of a mirror as the reflected image begins to break apart. Struggling with her confidence, she eventually finds her feet and dances until the mirror fades away.

The film has drawn mixed reviews online.
“This is very encouraging and I am glad Disney decided to include a ‘plus-sized’ heroine,” one person tweeted.
“I wish I could have seen this when I was younger! But so happy things are changing!” another said.
This is disgusting.
Fatness is ugly, for one. That might be the most important thing: no one wants to see this. It is anti-social to go out there fat and expect people to have to look at your disgusting rolls.
The other thing is that it is just not healthy at all. I want fat people to die, but the science is allowing them to live for a very long time. Very long. Much longer than they should live.
In other cultural fatness, that fat bitch from The View told another fat bitch that men like to see fat women naked because they are “chubby chasers.”
So this happened on The View.
Ana Navarro: "I have never been skinny enough to be sending nudes, you know, to the cloud."
Joy Behar: "Some guys like that. They're chubby chasers. They like it."
Joy then asks their producer whether or not he minds a "chubby girl." pic.twitter.com/xrWa9kY5Oe

“Chubby chaser” is a racist term for black men.
