People’s health and looks change over time — if you only want to be in a relationship with someone “healthy” you should probably just stay single.

Amy Schumer, of I Feel Pretty, keeps trying to sell us this narrative that she is fat (and ugly, which she seems to think mistakenly are the same thing).

There is a new game on Kickstarter called Hey There Fatty! It comes packaged in a stereotypical Chinese food delivery container.

Alexa Moreno recently found herself the subject of a whole lot of fat-shaming on social media.
