# Fatness is used as a signal of evil, dissolution, and/or moral decay, usually with the unspoken assumption that it's completely obvious that fat people are immoral and disgusting. (Note: This does not mean all fat characters in stories must be good guys. We're just tired of seeing fat used as a cheap shorthand signifier of evil.)

1. Someone wants to kill someone else, and that's perfectly reasonable because, after all, the victim-to-be is fat.
2. The story spends a lot of time describing, over and over, just how fat a character is, and how awful that is.
3. Physical contact with a fat person is understood to be obviously revolting.
