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
