It's important to people who latched onto Mycroft as the first time they'd ever found a character who was fat like them, but also awesome and kickass.

Not just fat, but fat and lazy and completely in control and satisfied with his life.

...of course I would have preferred they carry it forward by, I dunno, *casting someone fat* as Mycroft, instead of just making fat jokes about him.

But if there's one thing BBC Sherlock has taught us, it's you just can't be as tolerant and open-minded about different sorts of people on a 21st century TV show as you could in the 1890s.

Yeah if it was that important, I would have preferred that they cast someone who is heavy. I agree with you, there needs to be more positive fat role models. And by that I mean awesome role models who happen to be fat.

Pretty sure Mycroft is fat because he's lazy as hell. They're kind of tied together for him.

In before person you replied to chimes in with "but, but, NO-one who is fat is fat because they're lazy, HDU"...

So if someone sits on their butt all day, doing nothing of consequence, compulsively eating pounds of terribly unhealthy things...that's being a positive role model?

Some people are fat due to genetics. Other people are fat because they lead unhealthy lifestyles, and they develop a host of completely unnecessary and avoidable health problems as a result. The latter should not be encouraged just to avoid "fat-shaming."

There is something really different between encouraging "unhealthy lifestyles" (which, for fuck's sake, can mean being a runner in certain situations) and allowing that fat people, for whatever reasons cause their fatness, can be brilliant, witty, engaging characters. Being fat does not have to equal being dull, and having interesting characters who are fat is not encouraging fatness anymore than having interesting characters who are axe murderers are encouraging being an axe murderer. Or are you worried that Dexter is a bad role model and we oughtn't glorify him on screen, too, because what if people think it's okay to kill people?
