Oh would love to see that research if you ever come across it again.

Fat jokes in media: I should write more about this, but I think treating it like racism and sexism makes total sense. I might not turn off the program, but I always view it as something we have a check-in about. “What did you think of that joke?” Or (if you’ve already beat this drum a bit), “who can spot the fatphobia here!”

The goal isn’t to prevent exposure, it’s to help them identify the problems and think critically about the media they’re consuming.
