Check out our limited edition designs available on the Merch Shelf now before they’re gone: https://the-take.myteespring.co/ | For years, one of the worst things a female character could be was fat. The fat woman was often portrayed as a cautionary tale, the antithesis to the popular skinny girl. And for her failure to starve herself, she was mercilessly mocked by her peers. But the Funny Fat Woman turns it around. She owns her size—and those laughs. Compared to a history of characters who were made to feel nothing but shame, this might seem like a tentative step forward for body positivity. Yet the trope also reinforces the old idea that women characters should be sexy or amusing—and often we’re still laughing at her, not with her. Here’s our Take on the many complexities of the Funny Fat Woman, what makes her different from the Funny Fat Man, and whether we can ever get over her size.
