UNDERCOVER: Crowder Infiltrates “FAT STUDIES” Conference | Louder with Crowderyoutu.be

Academia. We’d like to think of it as the key to the world of knowledge, with the key masters being the best among us. Unfortunately, what we know as “the world of higher education” has become a bit of a farce. Enter the riveting academic world of … Fat Studies.

Bursting at the seams with self-love, acceptance, and...well… just bursting at the seams. It turns out that there is an entire academic discipline known as “Fat Studies.” Home to peer-reviewed think pieces such as “Overcoming Fear of Fat” (OVERLAY A) and “Queering Fat Embodiment.” Yes, this is being taught by professors at some of the world’s most prestigious institutions. There’s even an annual Fat Studies conference at Massey University, where all the brave and beautiful post-grads can submit their essays and present them in their fun-sized safe space.

So, Crowder decided to write and submit his very own Fat Studies paper for presentation, and with the help of his brilliant researcher, Crowder wrote an entire essay titled: “Embracing Fatness as Self-Care in the Era of Trump,” and submitted the abstract to the conference. Actually, it was submitted by “Sea Matheson” a wonderful and totally academically legitimate gender-queer fat pride activist.

Now, unfortunately, due to COVID, the in-person conference was canceled. Luckily for Miss Matheson, there was still a virtual conference. And a good thing for Sea Matheson! Because zer abstract was ACTUALLY accepted by the chairwoman “Dr. Cat Pausé,” a self-described “fat studies scholar,” and just like that, Sea was scheduled to speak alongside these intellectual titans.
