Dude the tags about marion talking about toms mom....I was so uncomfortable and her using the Q slur so much its like....is the author queer either? It felt like a bit in an attack

It’s like... “She was extremely overweight, which was strange, because all I ever saw her eat were salad leaves and cucumber slices, and all I ever saw her drink was black coffee. Despite this apparent self-denial, her features seemed lost somewhere in the swollen flesh of her face, and her bosom was enormous and always propped up on display, like an oversized, well-whipped meringue in a baker’s window.” Like... you’re a thin person writing this for what???? For comedic relief??? To state just how fat Tom’s mum is???? She could’ve just said “she was very fat” and left it at that. Even if this is meant to be from Marion’s pov and not the author’s and “it’s just Marion’s way of thinking” it still pissed me off and could’ve easily been left out

#i've been in a Mood lately and this didn't help AOIJFOEWIGJEOIJ #yes no matter what you should defo describe a person's body size in your story if you wanna but... why do you have to do it like that???? #and don’t even get me started on the use of the word ‘overweight’ lmao like not only in this book but in general #i had to stop reading cos i had to run errands but this part just made me angry #all fatphobia makes me literally livid lmao naturally #and i haven’t gotten that far out into the book yet and she hasn’t used ‘queer’ yet but we shall see #i don’t have a problem with it being used if it’s not used in a negative way u know #we shall see!!!!!!! i’ll read a bit more later on when i’ve got the time but so far it’s intriguing but very adult fiction for sure aijafore #would not have been able to finish this three-four years ago #also hi mars hope you're doing well my lovely <3 #sunflowers--styles #answered
