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!

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.

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.

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.

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?
