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?
