there's genuinely a real problem with how fat men are consistently only ever portrayed as attractive if they also display musculature and strength, similar to how fat women are only consistently portrayed as attractive if they have reduced stomachs and hourglass figures. if i'm pointing out that this character is like that i'm pointing to a larger trope that pisses me off. it's fat body respectibility politics manifested into a character who, may individually be fine and well written or whatever, but still contributes to a larger trope.
