The once-beloved character has turned into a person that we barely recognize. She's also likely to be creating never-ending to-do lists to appease her inner worker-bee.After watching the latest episode of Euphoria, we get why there are rumors that Barbie Ferreira and Sam Levinson were in disagreement about Kat's story line this season. Riley is a strong advocate for the LGBTQ community and is passionate about making everyone feel welcome, exactly as they are. She is currently based in Chicago where she lives with her girlfriend and two needy dogs. Horror is what helped her understand her power as a woman (or final girl) and discover her sexuality. Aside from writing horror, Riley seeks out new knowledge regarding LGBTQ and women in horror via books and articles online. Each horror film has a deeper meaning if you can look beyond the bloody surface. She believes that everyone can be a horror fan, they just have to find the right subgenre for them. Her other favorites include Bride Of Chucky, Evil Dead (2013), and Nightmare On Elm Street II. She's had an obsession with horror, specifically slashers and meta-horror, since she can remember and her comfort movie is the 1996 Scream. Her specialties are Horror and Reality TV. Riley Presnell is a Features Writer for Collider. Movies like Dumplin' and Sierra Burgess Is A Loser as well as shows like Shrill are allowing the stereotypes to be broken and celebrating large-bodied women as well-deserved lead roles. Society as a whole is becoming more body positive and is opening its eyes to see that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes and that an actress isn't just her appearance. More actresses like Ferreira, Wilson, Purser, and Lynksey speaking out about how they deserve a complete character arc and diversification of roles is what the industry needs. Very seldom do we see any woman who is considered overweight as the love interest, but rather the funny friend or the comedic relief. However, when the focus of the character is more on their size or shape rather than their ability to act and contribute to creating a great film or show, it becomes a daunting task to diversify roles. Having more actors and actresses that have various body weights and sizes is a positive in an industry that has previously been focused solely on looks. Lynksey tweeted later that receiving the role of Kathleen was important to her because it allowed for her to play a role not centered around her body type, but instead around her intelligence and how she contributed to navigating the strange world while still being feminine and soft instead of the stereotypes she could've been cast as. Where is Linda Hamilton when you need her?" Here, the insinuation is that her body type was not appropriate for someone taking on zombies because she wasn't muscular enough. Curry tweeted in response to Lynksey's InStyle Magazine photoshoot saying "Her body says life of luxury.not post apocalyptic warlord. When her role as Kathleen on The Last Of Us was announced, many were excited, but she did receive a slight backlash from Adrianne Curry on her body type for the role.
