Ugh I hate this buzzfeed/salon style writing. You can almost always tell when the author is fat by how dramatic they make everything sound.

Don't feed the pro-obesity propaganda clicks please.

Idk who thought this was a good idea, thankfully I don't think this got a second issue.

I wonder if they recognize the irony in imagining super-powers for a fat person to do anything athletic.

A lot of the comments section is pretty refreshing.

Oh shit! It's SUPA FUPA!
Why call it Faith? It's name should be my username.

Can't spell Faith without Fat

I love how she complains about how the fat "superhero" looks dowdy/unfashionable - as though fats can look like anything else?

Meanwhile, outside the world of fantasy, fat bodies move in ways such as: waddling, spilling, jiggling, wheezing. That is, when they move at all.

The comic book abut a fat superhero is boring, you say? I'm shocked.
