4	Fat tropes can be socially complicated to explain. Depending on the social context, fat can often be scorned or ridiculed as AcceptableTargets, or praised for its voluptuousness. And though there might be various UnfortunateImplications for any of these, obesity continues to have a controversially rich existence in tropes as an increasing percentage of the population of the industrialized world fall into the category currently labeled [[TruthInTelevision clinically overweight]] -- especially in UsefulNotes/TheUnitedStates and UsefulNotes/{{Australia}} where obesity rates are the highest. So for better or for worse, here fat tropes are indexed.
