Sometimes we try to talk about fat hate in SFF/spec fic and there is always a great deal of pushback; people name check the one or two positive fat characters they can think of and walk away like they've proven fat hate doesn't exist. It's profoundly frustrating. In this essay, @RKDuncanAuthor does a good job laying out why that is so absurd - and it's because fat hate is just as pervasive in SFF/spec fic as it is in mainstream society. SFF/spec fic IS a part of mainstream society, after all. We don't make art in any kind of vacuum.
