as a lawyer who’s been practicing for six years now I can say with certainty that this 100% applies to lawyers

it was kind of fucked up for wall-e to be that way about fat people now that im thinking about it

I’m never NOT thinking about how the first 40ish minutes of Wall•E are the most evocative, beautiful thing that the Walt Disney company has ever produced bar none, and then the SECOND they reach the space station it becomes the most boring, blunt and extremely ableist “save the earth” animated kids movie in existance for the movie’s remaining sixty minutes. Why did they do that to him.

guys I think maybe the space station part is important to the artistic themes of the movie

frankly i feel like if you read wall-e as fatphobic you're kinda misunderstanding the messaging of the film

I feel like you can make the same messages without putting the idea of being fat/needing mobility aids as a moral failing. I understand where the idea comes from, but just because the idea has good intentions doesn't mean the effect isn't shitty.

"humanity lived on a space socialism ship where everyone had their needs met. They got fat and lazy. They never made any art all they did was get eat and be dumb and use mobility scooters. This is a moral failing. We need to force everyone to work on a farm and grow their own food because that would make them not dumb and lazy"

The notes on this post really illustrate how a lot of people refuse to acknowledge that analysis that looks at the events in a piece of fiction as the result of choices made by the artist and analysis that looks at the events of a piece of fiction as the result of in-universe cause and effect relationships are operating on fundamentally different and often incompatible wavelengths.

"But it makes sense that they were that way because they were FORCED to live a sedentary lifestyle all their life" yeah turns out the critique here is not coming from an in-universe "it doesn't make sense" perspective, it's coming from an out-of-universe "the artists choosing to use fatness and reliance on mobility aids as a visual shorthand for societal decay has fucked up Implications™" perspective.
