It wasn't a remotely accurate portrayal of fat people. At all. It tried to be respectful, but it really wasn't.

Well, your opinion is valid for you; I don't agree with it, but that's how opinions go.

Yes, I realize that. I was expressing my own personal feelings.

Do you personally know all the fat people in the entire world?

That's also a valid question for Tabaqui's pov though.

Nope. But nearly every time fat people are portrayed on screen, they are portrayed as being fat because they eat a lot. There is never any nuance to it. I don't see why the role got an oscar when it was the exact same portrayal of fat people we always get.

Yes, that.

Also, I find the title "The Whale" pretty offensive as well. Can't count the times I've been called that to make fun of me.

It's not a great title, but to be fair, he's fairly obsessed with an essay his daughter wrote about 'Moby Dick', and that essay figures rather prominently in the story; one line in particular about the storyteller 'telling us about whale facts to hide the actual sad story from us for a little while....'
