New Scooby Doo Movie

Daphne is cursed in the new Scooby Doo movie.  She's devastated because she goes from a size 2 to a size 8...wait...what?  How dare the writers use a body size to denote a curse?  What were they thinking?  It's not bad enough that women have been bombarded with images that cause self-hate, now it's in a cartoon as well?  Some that have seen the movie are saying that it's a good thing because Daphne learns that she is being shallow and Fred says that she is always beautiful to him. How can that be a good thing?  It's still weight bashing and her self worth is tied into how her boyfriend feels about her.  And I still have a problem with her "curse."  I'm not a size 8, haven't been since Middle School, and I'm quite sure I never will be again.  And I think it's a very bad idea to give young girls the thought that gaining weight is a curse.  bad movie idea
