IT SUCKED IN FRIENDS TOO, DEBBY!! I love this shit. "Why weren't y'all mad about -" WE WERE! YOU JUST WEREN'T LISTENING AND YOU JUST DIDN'T CARE. NOT OUR FAULT.

lol it's almost too good that her name is DEBBY (with a Y) because it feels like one of those names I'd make up for a generic skinny cishet White woman who wants to lecture you about BODY POSITIVITY because she once hated her thighs so she GETS IT. OK, Debby!

@misskubelik Literally, the article is using a misleading headline. Her entire interview talks about how much she cares.

@misskubelik It’s always stuff that’s 20 years old too. Like, ok you got me I had a vague sense of unease rather than writing angry tweets...er sorry, letters...to NBC at the time. I’m a total hypocrite.

@misskubelik @annieelainey I just saw that Friends ep. today. It’s awful. ‘Fat ppl must be pigs who eat all the time, are virgins no one desires’ was the message. Incredibly harmful.

@misskubelik @AaronLinguini Also, friends was made like 20 years ago lol. They still made hella gay jokes & made fun men being feminine. We’re blown away by the fact that shit like this is still being made in 2018 smh

@misskubelik I think it's telling that the only people I personally know that really like the show are skinny girls that have always been thin who have a history of eating disorders. I'm too nervous to watch it myself so I might be way off base here but it was definitely a pattern

@misskubelik Debby Ryan isn't defending body positivity, she's defending her job. She's an actress in this show to pay her bills. And I wish everyone on that show would acknowledge they are doing harm to earn a dollar.

@misskubelik @yourlocalemo I’m not intending to be insensitive in any way, but I’m just curious. The main plot of the show is that she used to be a heavier girl and then she lost some weight. So how would they show that in a different way?
