Was her fatness the butt of the jokes, though? It sounds like her gullibility was. It sounds like they had a fat character whose fatness wasn't the central issue and who suffered the same plot ideas as any other character. Isn't this exactly what you are always demanding? Or are you like every other "underrepresented" group who actually wants themselves portrayed as flawless heroes exclusively?

God, it's so true. Like when people complain about "colorism". They're basically saying a character who looks a certain way can't also have flaws. Or if the show was filled with thin, healthy people they would all be perfect with no character flaws. That would be a boring show.
