Fat actors were fine back when the only role they ever got was the token pathetic fatass loser of the group. That's what we call a realistic portrayal. Now that they're getting shoehorned into more and more serious roles, it's really starting to break my suspension of disbelief.

Oh my god! You're right! They're always the token character where it actually fits the character to be fat; like the tech guy, some computer neckbeard or a character that is actually sedentary. I get that! That makes sense to me! But having a fat FBI field agent???? Is that some fat affirmative action hiring or something? It's like the pictures of fat cops we post here. You just can't take them seriously irl, how the fuck are we supposed to take this fat actor's character seriously?

Did you forget how fat cops are for the most part these days?

I miss Chris Farley. He knew what people wanted to see from a fat man.
