Important!

I feel so mixed about this. I love that she was inspired by Divine and they want to honor that BUT there are never any complex interesting roles for fat women and so a fat woman who fucking owns her sexuality and knows she is beautiful and could choose another form magically if she wanted but chooses to be this amazing curvy goddess is something my fat happy self wants to see played by a woman (especially because fat bodies and drag queens are both often played for laughs with straight audiences). My fat self and my queer self are both REALLY worried that they are going to compromise the integrity of this character.  Also drag queens are an inherent part of lgbtqa culture and we need rather desperately for villains to stop being queer coded until we have enough queer heroes to balance out. Otherwise we are still only seeing ourselves as characters that should be rooted out, defeated, subverted, or killed, which is no message to send our youth.
