196: Fat Monica and Other Fat Tropes in Media

What have we learned about who fat people are from the media we consume? What are the common stereotypes we see again and again? In this episode, I answer those questions and analyse different examples of fat media including the dreaded Fat Monica from Friends. If you can, watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience! But I do also audio describe what we are watching :) TW: anti-fat tropes.
