I don't want to seem disagreeable, but spoiler videos like that. My chest hurts and my heart is racing after all that excitement.
So it's a bunch of zany fat cartoon characters on a beach. There is an excruciatingly slow pan from left to right. They're very racially diverse and diverse in other ways: Some of them are clearly LGBTQIA+ or disabled in ways other than being fat. Mika's "Big Girls, You are Beautiful" plays during the slow pan, and it doesn't match in terms of energy between camera speed, scene, and music.
It makes me feel physically bad in a way I can't describe. The drawing looks like it was made by an illustrator applying for a job designing for Cathy comic book merch, but she didn't get the job. (And I said she for a reason. There's a reason male suicide rates are higher, and it's because men would rather die than be resigned to draw Cathy comic merch. In the famous words of Cathy, "Eeeeeeeeugh!!!" If you're not familiar with Cathy, it is a "delightful" comic in the Sunday paper about a single wine aunt past her prime working in a dead end office job and living alone with a cat while she does a poor job controlling her weight because of binge eating. It's kind of a proto Amberlynn Reid situation. I am obviously very torn on my feelings about this comic and there's a long history there I don't want to detail the thread with.
And then the camera pans back from right to left and the video is over and there is another MS Paint screen with a hashtag and bright colors. I don't remember what it said because I was clearly completely torn up by the video at this point. Someone else need to recap it. Sorry.
