El León No Es Como Lo Pintan

Everything is trying to be realistic except for the fat phobia jokes. Did they made this an animated movie so that they can make fat phobia jokes?

This is a...movie?for Chinese kids, giving the small delicate brains the impressions of "we're proud of our culture", "respect the working class people", and "a feminine boy can become a strong male male!".(yeah feminine boys there's no need to be incels, just don't give up)

But the fact that it's for kids made me really uncomfortable about the fat-phobia jokes.

Every time someone laughed, while I was watching, it was because of some joke made out of the fatness of the fat character.

I started thinking about whether this kind of media made the younger me see fat people as animated characters, that their behavior are supposed to be funny, whether the younger me thought fat people need to get rid of their fatness to live a normal life.

Think about the kids, ffs.

Well, to be accurate, there's one time the kid sat behind me was not laughing at a fat joke.

It was a scene that was supposed to generate a sense of inspiration, but the momentum of the scene was really weird, and while I was feeling confused, the kid might thought"oh time to laugh again", so, not their fault at all.
