keepursulafat:

I’d like to point out that fat suits are not only offensive af, but have also been something that’ve legitimately kept fat actors from getting employment. Every time a play, movie or tv show features a thin actor wearing a fat suit in the role of a fat character, that’s one job/acting opportunity a real fat actor could have been paid money for. Let me repeat: because fat suits exist, fat actors don’t get jobs.

(and what’s funny is that it almost definitely costs a lot more for a thin actor to be put in a fat suit and made up realistically on a regular basis than it would to just pay a fat actor to show up and act while fat)
