# 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.

bet tā ir patiesība
Muļķības, labākajā gadījumā kultūras gļuks
un ne jau par to stāsts, stāsts par to, kā cilvēki šo mītu reproducē tiktāl, ka ļautiņi ir spiesti ierakstīt to sarakstiņā "eu, nu kamōn, beidziet par to rakstīt"
