“In local news, a world famous surgeon’s hands were mangled when he tried to retrieve his Rolex watch from a rabid badger den...”

Mutts. All mutts.

Like when the producers of Pitch Perfect forced her to STOP losing weight? 

But unlike skin color or sexual orientation, you CAN change your body type. Actors do it all the time.

Melissa McCarthy and Rebel Wilson are two women who have done it and their roles aren’t drying up.

My favorite episode so far. I also think the concepts will be used in future episodes and future live-action shows and movies.

The Ancient One happened. At this point, drawing an elderly Asian man and casting Keone Young to replay the events of the first movie would just add more confusion. Better to introduce a…

It stopped me for a second too, but I finally decided that this universe had Christine dying as an Absolute Point.

The “main” universe probably had Strange losing the use of his hands at that point. Imagine Main Strange doing the same thing, only signaling, taking different route, paying attention to road instead of…

Counterpoints:

Lori Singer, Tilda Swinton, Sarah Jessica Parker, Juliette Lewis, Anna Chlumsky and Kristen Schaal are fairly close to female Buscemis and still get work.

Why, because I think Sarah Paulson is fugly?

Nope, she’s too skinny. Bring in the next fat chick for the role. How dare her be concerned for her health.

They sure as fuck would have if he got too fat. Or they’d have told him to come back skinnier.

Yes, kids change. Half the reason fans believe Ron and Hermione shouldn’t be together is that Emma Watson aged a lot better than Rupert Grint. 

Oh, you have such a high opinion of yourself. She is apologizing because she got yelled at. She’ll do it again if Murphy asks her to.

Not what the role called for, either in the book or the movie script. So the actor didn’t have the choice. His choices were to gain weight, put on the padding or leave the role.

Gabourey Sidibe lost a lot of weight for health reasons. Did bariatric surgery. If someone does Precious 2, do you expect her to gain the…

I block out most things Rob Schneider, so I missed that one. I did say give or take a few, but fair catch.

LOL... something in my being.

“Like, I made friends with Ryan Murphy a long time ago”

No, answer the question. Should Matthew Lewis either kept the weight on through an unhealthy lifestyle or given up the role?

I draw the line at talking poo AND at fat being a culture.

There is no connection between a thin actor playing someone fat and the shaming of fat people in general.

As has been pointed out, Beanie Feldstein got the role. They didn’t cast some skinny girl and fatten her up.

Murphy wanted an actor he trusted for what will probably be the trickiest role in the show. 

And you also…

Good news. I think Sarah Paulson is a mutt, so a less conventionally attractive person is getting a role.

He did put on weight to play that dude in Syriana and won the Oscar.

But... you can.
