body positive obese kid
is that a good thing to portray in this movie?
shareLOL probably not. I'm all for accepting different healthy body types. Slim, athletic, curvy, tall, short, muscular, lean, etc... But to say it's ok to be unhealthy is bad. Just like how they show drug addicts to be 'cool' in movies or show people doing dangerous stunts that people try to copy. It's wrong....
I mean I saw an interview where Tom is talking about working out, and Jacob just sits there awkwardly. You can see that he's not happy about his size. But this is meant to be a comedy and you always need that fat friend....
I mean if he has some health issue that is keeping him from being in shape ok, can't say anything. Sasha Petierse in Pretty Little Liars was given a lot of flack for gaining weight. Turns out she has a hormone imbalance or some health issue. So we have to be understanding there.
But not to insult the kid, I mean his choices are his own.
