The character was using food as a coping mechanism in his highly depressed state, I don’t understand this thought that the fact this happens in society shouldn’t be portrayed because it hurts the feelings of overweight people, it’s a stupid take. If it was about another type of addiction, like alcohol or drugs, sure but maybe an addict there would be offended, there’s a possibility anyone affected by events portrayed on film could be offended by it, it’s so silly.

I could not give less of a fuck about people’s feelings when those people call to have someone’s art altered or stopped, that’s where I land on things like this.

Geez, dude, this is a discussion thread, no need to get nasty! And I am not morbidly obese, so the movie didn’t hurt my feelings. Chill!

Not nasty at all, I’m saying how I feel, and it wasn’t necessarily towards you specifically, just the constant bitching I see about this movie existing is exhausting.
