honestly i thought i was doing better with myself but last night i merely read the tv tropes page for the movie the whale and i broke down sobbing
#i have...complicated feelings about that movie
#on one hand the og playwright based it heavily on his own experiences with mental illness and eating disorders
#so i don't condemn it for going into heavy subject matter
#but something about it just hit me deeply
#it was really triggering and i can't fully describe why
#and i just couldn't handle it

#eating disorders
#fatphobia
#i like brendan fraser and he was good at acting just seeing him in the fat suit made my stomach drop
#again i can't place why
#is it because hollywood would rather ''uglify pretty people'' than hire ''ugly people''?
#when its usually the only kinda of work they'd be hired for?
#is it because hollywood only portrays fat people as a joke or for drama surrounding them being fat?
#is it the knowledge how many audience members treated it as a joke just because the main character was fat?
#is it 'internalized fatphobia' and i just couldn't handle the movie?
#is it all of the above?
#is it some nebulous reason i still can't place?
#i don't know!!!!!
#i just couldn't stop crying
