Let’s Talk Media
We want to hear from you. The media often gets it wrong, but occasionally, they get it right.
Share a time you saw a depiction of a person with obesity in the media (a commercial, a movie, or a news segment) that either made you feel deeply misunderstood or, conversely, finally made you feel "seen." What would you change about how the media portrays our community?
I am exactly like Doug H. on the show, as my wife frequently mentions to me. I liked that it was part of the show. But it wasn't the topic too often, just about right.
Doug on King of Queens
Hi
. From what I remember, Carrie is always pushing diets on Doug. Did you connect with his character or did you feel that his struggle with his weight should not have been a focus in the series? - Lori (Team Member)
