ok so 64,000 question for Dune -- how did they handle the depictions of Baron Harkonnen? Because that is a real fatphobic/queerphobic mess in the book

@platypus he’s definitely intended to be read as a symbol of gluttony, but his fatness seemed almost incidental to me. if i had to critique their handling of him, it would be more from a disability approach (regarding his anti‐gravity / mobility aids), which is played for sinister value far more than his body shape imo
