I hate article headlines with opinions disguised as facts.

Even moreso, I hate the use of "we" in articles, as if it took more than one knuckle-dragger to write them.

I’m bugged by the reference to Big Bertha as an example of “fat shaming“. If anything she’s just the opposite. A character who becomes hugely obese and thru that a powerful force to be reckoned with.

In this “woke” mindset it should be the super skinny characters that are seen as “fat shaming”. See my Wonder Girl and Amanda Waller. Especially Waller!!

Thinking of all the times they've cast Amanda Waller in live action as makes my head hurt.  The one in ARROW was tall and thin!
