It’s time for artists to stop personifying Gluttony as a fat person and start personifying them as a billionaire capitalist who surrounds themselves with luxury at the expense of the poor.
For everyone in the notes being a little bitch
Gluttony was never supposed to be just about food. It’s about overindulgence. Greed is about the uncontrolled desire of wanting things you don’t need, just to have them. Gluttony is basically hoarding things and overindulging, especially and specifically when those things are needed by other people.
Food was often used as an example because it was meant to be shown as one of the things that, when overconsumed by one person or a specific set of people, it would cause the deaths of others. It also had other ways in which it was used, yes, but overall, gluttony is about fucking overindulgence.
It’s also mentioned to often be about overconsumption of alcohol, but hey. We don’t really go after alcoholics the way we do fat people, do we?
Anyway, a capitalist billionaire is both a wonderful symbol for both greed and gluttony, and y’all are just fatphobic cowards
Thanks for adding this, you express the reasoning behind things way more clearly than I do.
This is literally the main villain of my DnD campaign.
