Article on "Fat Faye"
Emaline:
Jeph, I don't think you are a sexist at all. I mean, I'm really into feminism, and I have never thought you were sexist.
But I can see where this girl is coming from. Being fat myself, I always thought it was pretty funny that Faye was considered fat. She looks barely any different than the other girls, yet she is the fat one. I mean, I can see that she is a little chubby, but I would never call her fat.
I never thought it was a problem though. I mean, it's a comic! There are fucking anthropomorphic computers in it!
britMonster:
From the other characters perspective Faye is fat. She isn't like morbidly obese. There is nothing wrong with her being chunky, this article girl is being a stupid fatass. . . I'm fat too, but I'm trying to do something about it, she's just being fat and complaining about how other people view fat people. Faye is a lovely person who has self esteem issues because everyone else around her is skinny. . . its completely logical, no one is saying she's a cow.
benji:
You don't say. The alcoholic with abandonment issues resulting from witnessing the suicide of her father has some self esteem issues that come out as poor body image?
And as for other people calling her fat, I don't think the boys ever call her fat. It's the other girls (well, and the turkeys). In my experience, girls call each other (and themselves) fat a lot, no matter the truth.

Where did she say she wasn't doing anything about her weight? It's not a good idea to assume things.
GenericName:
Everywhere. She starts off one blog post with "I ate five strips of bacon this morning. It was delicious". She talks about how she's anti-dieting and anti-WLS(Weight Loss Surgery). She even describes herself as a FAP(Fat Acceptance Person). Plus, the blog is called Fatly Yours?
