Thread: Fat-Bashing: Gabourey Sidibe from Precious

Started 1 month, 1 week ago by Lick3Shots
Thoughts? Blurb for the non-readers: So putting aside the PC platitudes, the facts tell a different story. Yes, Sidibe is a promising performer, one who’s already generating Oscar buzz. So if we just stick to her acting, kudos. But if we’re talking about her size—which has become part of the conversation—are people delusional? A five-foot-something woman tipping the ...

I don't really know what to say. She is pretty big and I'm sure her size will pigeon hole her into playing certain types of roles.

The girl has done a great job acting ( from what i've heard and seen) but is someone questioning whether she is obese or not? i mean there is no denying that. i do agree that there is a problem when we celebrate obesity and interchange it with "thick" but if she is confident and relishing in her obesity who am i to tell her different.

I just find it funny that people can be so shocked and appalled that this woman can be happy with herself while being obese. And that anyone would entertain the thought that this will create a wave of people striving to be fat. rolls eyes. Okay, I don't ever see that happening.

EPITOME replied 1 month, 1 week ago
aren't most black women fat? she's a black woman. and she's fat. there. there are her roles. she'll be fine. she already has a better career than Gabrielle Union/Nia Long/Garcelle Beauvais/...etc who last time i checked were black and slim.

She is pretty but she needs to lose weight. I can understand being overweight but she's close to being morbidly obese. Her health is at serious risk.

Hollywood and all this crap wants everyone to live in a pool of self-hatred so we will continue to buy things to make ourselves happy. Having said that, I am DONE with this thread

Originally posted by camille07 i would like to spend a month eating food from whole foods prepared food section without giving a damn. maybe you can be fat and happy. i know my quality of life would be mucho improved if i ate a pound of whole foods macaroni and cheese every night.  Their mac & cheese is amazing - so is the polenta. Wouldn't it be nice if they weighed the same as lettuce?

Originally posted by ladymzlee I was just waiting for the love affair with this young lady to end. Hollywood will NEVER be comfortable with a fat, Black woman making it big (no pun intended) in Hollywood. It's as if fat people don't exist. Diversity and reality never come into play in Hollywood, that's why I tuned out a long time ago. I've been waiting for this film to be released for quite some time and although I'm...

Hennypenny IA with the fact that her weight shouldn't overshadow her acting skills but let's not forget the real world out there ,your or my opinion doesn't apply for everyone and is blatantly obvious that the mainstream put a lot of emphasis in appearance ,kids and young women all over the world pick celebrities as their idol and imitate their behaviour.
