My respect for the series dropped a couple degrees when it hath gone for "Evil romantic interest? They must be exaggeratedly FAT and UGLY, the true hallmarks of evil, and which maketh such an undesirable woman!"
Like what we really need is to reinforce the whole fat = ugly = evil thing... >_>;
Not saying evil people can't be fat and ugly (though it would be nice then to have some fat and/or ugly nice people around then too, yanno? Otherwise it slowly becomes messaging). But the caricature here is yet another thing, in level of the dumb stuff it's reinforcing.
Normally we're... at least slightly subtler and classier about our appearence-ism these days. Slow progress and all, but I wouldn't want to backslide to this shit.
