(also so great and important: note he does not say that when fat people start singing/ commanding the stage people "forget" they're fat or "don't care" about it. Not the case, not possible, not the point. They're just fat AND cool at the same time and EVERYONE KNOWS AND SEES IT.

Jack Black is a celebrity. He's a movie star. He's a rock star. He oozes charisma and sex appeal and charm. It absolutely kills me that people find 100 ways to talk around this, 99 of them because he's fat.

WELL ACTUALLY HE'S GONNA BE GOOD AT VOICING BOWSER BECAUSE HE'S A CHARACTER ACTOR NOT A CELEBRITY.

Me, a fat person: I love that Jack Black is fat, like me, it's amazing to see that representations!
A not fat stranger in my mentions: you shouldn't reduce people to their bodies just because it makes you feel better about yourself

Muted this but I love Jack Black, fat people are rad, seeing fat people be loud, joyous, and successful will never stop beyond radical and important and of you want to "ummm actually" about any of that, why don't you get fucked.

(and for anyone who is like NO ONE SAYS BAD THINGS ABOUT JACK BLACK!! SHE'S LYING! 1. they DO say shitty things about him and 2. I literally tweeted because of a tweet with 9k RTs talking about how JB isn't a "celebrity" but a character actor and it pissed me off.)

I totally agree and it's an important distinction. Society has a way of looking around any physical type deemed unattractive . If the person is talented and liked we feel a need to either say they are physically attractive or force ourselves to "forget". It's unnecessary.

I have seen this movie loads, and everytime this scene happens, I think he's going to say 'forget she's fat'. We are so, so conditioned to this being a 'complimentary' response to fatness.

First time I saw that scene I wanted to cry. It made my chubby little girl heart feel whole, loved, and seen all at once. He’s probably the only one that could deliver something that hit like that
