What happens when humor crosses the line into harm?In this episode of The Strap Down Podcast, we're waking back up the controversy surrounding everyone's favorite toxic (stud), Ezee, and the backlash after the notorious fat suit skit mocking Black plus-sized influencer, Samyra. We open up this "internet joke" to a much deeper conversation about fat-phobia and anti-Blackness within Black and lesbian communities.We break down why this moment struck such a nerve, how anti-fatness often shows up disguised as comedy, and why Black plus-sized people are frequently expected to absorb harm in silence. We also give some SUGAA by tackling a tricky but very real dating question: How do you tell someone you’re not interested because of physical appearance without being cruel or dishonest? This week Sheria puts y'all on to RYBE, a pop group good enough to possibly make Sheria give up Kpop for good. (hehe)If you’re into lesbian podcasts, conversations about Black culture, internet foolishness, or thoughtful takes on messy topics, STRAP IN and STRAP DOWN this episode is for you!
