For decades now the media has been writing plus size women as the stereotypical "funny freaky sidekick". We have shows like Moesha, The Proud Family, and the infamous The Parkers that show plus size women in a negative light while profiting off of the caricature of plus size women. Looking at the shows at a young age affected the way I viewed myself and plus size women as a whole. In 2022, not much has changed. On today's episode, I discuss the issues I see on TV and the lack of representation in the media. There are little no shows that depict the fullness of plus size women or show us as more than the sidekick used to prop up the protagonist. I call out some of our favorite old shows and some of our new shows and suggest what could be done to turn this train wreck around.
