Unpopular taz opinion: I’m a fat person and I don’t like fat Taako. Like I’m all for body diversity I would’ve loved myself more if there had been fat rep when I was growing up. But as a fat person it feels like I, and Justin McElroy, who is also kinda chubby, should get the escape of smaller characters. I’m always fat. Can I just be skinny/fit in D&D? And like I respect fat Taako. But Justin said he’s “svelte” and I’m projecting but I feel like we should give him this skinny character. 1/2

That being said I 100% will cosplay fat Taako at some point cause I don’t like fake beards and I can’t grow enough facial hair to be Magnus…. maybe I’ll be duck. 2/2

yeah, you have the right to feel however you want. but Justin’s also said he wishes there were more diversity in stuff like video games so that body types like his could be represented. so i don’t think he necessarily feels the same way. (again, that’s not to say you can’t feel what you feel, but based on things he’s said about representation i don’t think he uses skinny characters as escapism, and thus, i don’t think fat taako is disrespecting him in any way. he’s also said that he supports people drawing taako fat.)

i like fat taako because i think it’s important to challenge “Elven Beauty” (which is almost always a stand-in for western standards of beauty) and make it encompass more body types, hair types, skin colors, disabilities, all kinds of diversity. i think taako in particular is a great vehicle for that kind of exploration/representation since he IS so canonically beautiful and confident in how he looks.

taako and lup are both fat and hot as hell and unquestionably adored by their respective partners not in spite of but because of (among other things obvs) their awesome fat bodies. Kravitz LOVES Taako’s soft tummy and wide hips. Barry is HEAD OVER HEELS for Lup’s stretchmarks and thick thighs. those are the facts people.

Trying my hand at making my Taako chubbier. When I listened to the show my mental image of Taako was more in line with the lanky/slender versions that I’d seen around in fanart, so that’s where my design came from. But I read the quote from Justin where he talked about video game customization and how it’s difficult to find ones that let him make his characters fat like him. So fat Taakos are definitely important! Plus look at him he’s adorable!

Hot take

Fat taako is my favorite representation because he's a chef and you NEVER trust a skinny chef.
