[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People don't like it when big girls have main character energy. [/quote]

Not true. Mama Cass was large and legendarily "main character" (perhaps before your time), and beloved.

Roseanne, too, before she went nuts.

Queen Latifah? All hail the Queen!

Lena is just arrogant and likes to hear herself talk. Nothing to do with her body.[/quote]

I don't think most people loved Roseanne, ever. She got a lot of the same flak that Lena gets. Fat, ugly, loud. People (even other women) reward women for being pretty, thin, and biddable. [/quote]

This. You have to be VERY likeable to be fat in Hollywood without getting a lot of hate. Queen Latifah is actually a good example if someone with such a positive, pleasant personality that she avoids the hate. She's also gay, which I think eases the expectation that she conform to make expectations for beauty, but she was closeted early in career.

Other jovial fat women include Melissa McCarthy and Aidy Bryant. Comedic actors who are unusually pleasant. Plus they both have very pretty faces.

Lena is difficult, self-absorbed, annoying. Those are common traits in Hollywood (hello Sean Penn, Christian Bale, Shia LaBoef) but Lena has them while being a woman, and fat, and not pretty. She's still talented and hardworking, but people don't care because she's not thin or attractive.[/quote]
