💨 Abstract

The TikTok 'chubby filter' trend, which distorts users' images to show them what they would look like if they were overweight, is causing distress for many due to its fatphobic nature. The author shares personal experiences of negative media representations of fat bodies and how they reinforced the idea that being fat is something to be jeered at, leading to harmful consequences for body image and treatment of fat people.
