Superchub

"You know there's a superchub bar in east Lauderdale, fat boy. Shouldn't you be up there mixin' with the Michelin Men?"

Even if the women in question were not actively abusive, due to the pervasive and internalised nature of fat stigma (Andreyeva et al., 2008; Cooper, 2010; Cooper et al., 2014; Edmonds & Zieff, 2015; Gough & Flanders, 2009:243–244; Hopkins, 2012; Longhurst, 2005; Pausé, 2017; Wann, 2009) it can be very emotionally damaging for fat GBQ men like Ryan and superchubs like Timothy to experience this kind of behaviour, emphasising their feeling of abjection.
