Hot & Heavy "mixed-weight" reality show accused of fatphobia and fat fetishization
https://www.dailydot.com/irl/tlc-hot...eavy-backlash/
The upcoming reality show focusing on three "mixed-weight" couples consisting of a "hunky" man and a plus-sized woman has received widespread backlash on Twitter. As one Twitter user explains, "Since TLC's production team somehow missed this, it is INCREDIBLY disrespectful to first, characterize someone based solely on their size and second, portray concepts of 'hot' and 'heavy' as polar opposites - implying that hot and heavy may not ...characterize one person simultaneously." |
