pratchett wrote a lot of fat women in his books and like 95% of them are admirable and inspirational characters who are very loved by the people around them but its the scene in the fifth elephant thats like "hey growing up as a Big Girl is really hard and theyre taught to make themselves smaller and endure countless indignities and their only option to avoid ridicule is to be unbelievably nice to their tormentors and sometimes that doesnt even work. dont you ever want to go apeshit. like dont you ever want to fucking lose it look sybil has a iron bar and shes so mad shes gonna knock out a werewolf and grab another one by the neck for never exchanging christmas cards" for me
