If you’re trying to insult Aidy Bryant (and why on earth would you?
), don’t do it by calling attention to her weight.
Using the word, she says, is “like taking the power out of it.
It doesn’t have to be so loaded.
It’s just true, and sitting with that, it makes it easier for me.
It just feels a little less frightening.”
One episode in particular was based on an experience Bryant herself had one that stings even today.
And there’s an assumption that if you’re fat, you’ve given up on yourself.
And it’s like, I exercise all the time.
I don’t eat doughnuts for breakfast, lunch, and dinner."
That perception extends to fashion, as well.
“When I was in high school, I never would have worn prints,” Bryant said.
“Because I was like, Well, then I’m just a big wall of print.”
The stunning clothes she sports in the article put an end to that assumption, too.
