Abstract
ABSTRACT Bias and stereotypes can be reinforced or challenged through television entertainment, and individual viewers will negotiate their interpretation of such public pedagogies through the lenses of their own knowledge and experience. The popular show This is Us presents multiple and sometimes contradicting messages about fatness and weight stigma. A close textual analysis of the first three seasons of the series revealed some of the complex and implied lessons on weight. While there are some scenes that model fat acceptance, the overall implications of the show are blaming and depict fatness as a problem to be solved.
偏见和刻板印象可以通过电视娱乐得到加强或挑战，而个人观众将通过自己的知识和经验来协商他们对这种公共教育的解释。热门节目《我们这一天》(This is Us)传达了关于肥胖和体重耻辱的多重信息，有时甚至是相互矛盾的信息。对该剧前三季的详细文本分析揭示了一些关于体重的复杂和隐含的教训。虽然有一些场景展示了对肥胖的接受，但这部剧的总体含义是指责肥胖，并把肥胖描绘成一个需要解决的问题。
