This has to be a joke, right? Right?

(Anonymous) 2017-03-23 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
It probably is a joke.

(Anonymous) 2017-03-23 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
This may be a troll secret, Idk, but many fat people do mind representation being absent or only done with evil characters or characters meant to be mocked / made the butt of jokes by the narrative. I don't know this show, but basically, you're not wrong even if you are being insincere.

(Anonymous) 2017-03-24 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah I think it's a fair point (although I maybe wouldn't phrase it that way) but it's 100% not something that F!S is ever going to be receptive of

we're skeptical about the idea that anything can be problematic, so

(Anonymous) 2017-03-24 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
So f!s finds the word problematic ... problematic? 😉

Is full figured a new meme word for fat, just like THICC? I haver never seen it before.

(Anonymous) 2017-03-24 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
Full figured is basically a euphemism for fat (which is not the same as a "new meme word") although it doesn't mean quite the same thing. It's not really new either. Thicc is a slang term which means something distinct from fat.

(Anonymous) 2017-03-24 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah I always equated full-figured with curvy, not fat fat. Like... "Yeah I could stand to lose ten to twenty pounds" but not obese.

(Anonymous) 2017-03-24 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I think it's easy to get into debates into what does or does not count as "fat", and saying "full-figured" is a broader umbrella term that avoids that debate

(Anonymous) 2017-03-24 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
I think full figured is as old as big boned, so no.

(Anonymous) 2017-03-24 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
That isn't full-figured, fierce or fat. The correct term would be misshapen.

Well he is basically a brain parasite.
otakugal15: (eh?)

...I've been playing way too much WoW. I was so confused. Because that dude isn't in Legion. D:

(Anonymous) 2017-03-24 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
ahaha ... yeah that was my initial thought too

Tangent here, but GAAAH.

What the heck is that character!?

(Anonymous) 2017-03-24 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
it's deliberately surreal psychological horror that may or may not have any relation to a real physical person, it's The Thing that is haunting/chasing/terrifying david in his own head, not A Character

A psychic monster that exists on the astral plane and is trying to steal the body of a very powerful mutant so it can have access to the physical plane.

The series it's from, "Legion", is based on a character out of the X-Men comics, David Haller aka Legion, son of Charles Xavier, and is insanely powerful. The first season of the show seems to draw inspiration from a classic storyline where the psychic creature, the Shadow King, managed to possess Legion and turn Muir Island (the base for one of the X-teams) into it's own personal kingdom.

Wha?

Edit: Nvm... At first I read this as "full-fledged."

I would argue that he's not full-figured as much as he's distorted for maximum creepiness, like the Angriest Boy.

Imo it is problematic, less to have a gross-inhumanly-distorted-fat monster than to have that and zero non-skinny actual people. But like...in the old-school sane sense of problematic, ie "this is maybe something to examine for contributing unfortunate implications in a cultural context that already ignores or dehumanizes fat people, within a larger work that has both good and bad things about it," rather than the current tumblr use of problematic, which is more "this is Morally Impure and therefore Evil and anyone who likes it is also an Evil Oppressor who should be sent lots of suicide bait anon messages!" OP sounds more like the first one to me, though.

(Anonymous) 2017-03-24 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
He's not even actually fat - he has a melted, distorted head and round body, but very thin arms and legs. I mean yes, I get sick of the stereotypes as a fat person, but this really isn't one.

Maybe the secret poster could have gone with the Angriest Boy as misrepresenting people with macrocephaly?

*finally realizes that the character/parasite is played by dan stevens*
