Fat and Fucked Ep. 4 - The Goonies and One-Eyed Willies Treasure: A Metaphor for Our Search for Healthy Sexuality

Episode #4: The Goonies and One-Eyed Willy’s Treasure: A Metaphor for our Search for Healthy Sexuality

 

We are going on an adventure in search of healthy sexuality, and conquering the societal booby traps that keep us away from embodiment, autonomy, and pleasure! Join hosts Suzy and Krista as they discuss the impediments we all face in our sexual development while centering the conversation around the unique challenges faced by fat folks. This episode is a great place to start on your own quest to become a sexually whole adult. If you like what you hear, consider writing a review and sharing it with others. You can also support the show at Patreon.com/fatandfuckedpodcast.

 

We would also like to acknowledge that we realized in post-production that there is significant anti-fat bias in how one of the characters is portrayed and treated within the film. The character “Chunk” is classic fat-as-funny fat representation. By centering this episode around this movie, we want to make sure to acknowledge that we are not condoning this type of fat representation and hope for better from filmmakers in the future.

Fat and Fucked Ep. 3 - It’s Not Paranoia If It’s True: The Covert Nature of Anti-Fatness

Anti-fatness is insidious, and we are intentionally misled about fatness and fat people which leads most of us on an all-consuming venture to shrink our bodies or make sure we don’t get fat in the first place. Join Suzy and Krista as they locate the reason for this misinformation in the context of systemic gaslighting that is pushing us toward weight loss while making many corporations and industries billions. Don’t forget to submit questions about sex, sexuality, and fat bodies for Krista (AKA Dr. Sexyfat) to answer in upcoming episodes!

Fat and Fucked Ep. 2 - The Big Fat Lie: the Trail of Destruction Behind the Belief That Fat = Bad

The Big Fat Lie, or the belief that fat is bad and thin is good, is pervasive and spawns countless other lies, beliefs, misunderstandings and misinterpretations across all facets of our society. Of course this has a huge impact on everyone, but especially fat folks living in a world structured around anti-fat bias. In this episode, Suzy and Krista illuminate some of the things we get wrong in a jamboree of replacing lies and misconception with complexity, and accuracy. Listen to the episode and give us a review!

Fat and Fucked Ep. 1 - Imagining and Creating a Fat Liberated World

What the fuck is “Fat and Fucked”? In the first episode, hosts Suzy Hooker and Dr. Krista Nabar lay the groundwork for moving toward a world in which fat liberation reigns supreme. They share their personal journeys away from dieting and shame and toward acceptance of their fat bodies. A brief history and evolution of the Fat Acceptance movement puts Fat Liberation in context. The hosts explore the inadequacies of the Body Positivity Movement, and establish Fat Liberation as the only way to address the systemic discrimination and oppression that fat folx experience everyday. Yes, fat folks experience oppression, and yes, it has to stop
