In defense of fat-shaming
Being fat isn’t like being old, it’s a choice

May 11, 2021 | 11:50 am

Your business may have closed, your kids still aren’t in school, nana hasn’t had a hug in 18 months, and your uncle drank himself to death from the crippling isolation — but the real tragedy of the COVID-19 pandemic is that the luckless fats are feeling stigmatized again. ...

COVID death rates are skewed heavily toward the fats. According to the CDC, 78 percent of people who were hospitalized or died from COVID-19 were obese. Think about that. If the whole, unsuccessful reason for the ongoing lockdown was to ‘slow the spread’, if transmission of the virus had to be mitigated in order to prevent hospitals from becoming overwhelmed — and that’s the only reason we’ve ever been given — isn’t it fair to say fat people are entirely to blame for the devastation of the last year? Being fat isn’t like being old, it’s a choice. We don’t need less fat stigmatization — we need more.

‘Wear a mask’, ‘wear two masks‘, ‘get vaccinated or else you don’t care about others’, the mentally-ill Fauci-fangirls continue to shriek. Yet, this whole time it appears it’s the fats who deserved the scorn. This is all their fault. ...

The LA Times article goes on to tell the story of a 24-year-old ‘black, non-binary’ ham beast who uses ‘they’ and ‘them’ pronouns being greeted at the hospital one evening by a medical worker proclaiming, ‘Wow, you’re so big. The first thing we need to do is get this weight off you.’

Apparently readers weren’t supposed to laugh at that. ‘Weight stigma by healthcare providers has been documented for decades,’ the article continues.

Doctors are the Literally Hitlers of the fat acceptance movement and the fats expect special treatment over other groups who are committing gradual suicide as a result of their disgusting lifestyles. But instead of Joe Biden’s politically weaponized CDC ensuring that fatties don’t sink our economy when the next virus from China hits, the organization has instead decided to tuck the obesity stuff away and declare racism the public health crisis du jour. ...

And that’s what makes the body positivity people so enduringly repulsive, aside from what your eyes take in. You can’t take anyone so stubborn and thin-skinned seriously. No one thinks they’re large and loving it. The best the fativists can hope for is feigned sympathy and for others to merely suffer through them. And that extends to all the left’s crybullies. You can put as many pairs of cottage cheese thighs on the cover of Cosmopolitan as you’d like, but you’re never going to convince people that it’s aspirational. Humans, aside from the odd chubby-chasing fetishist, are hardwired to avoid members of our species who we can tell are dying, intentionally in this case.

We’re also designed to want to help. If some of these people swallowed their doctor’s advice the way they took that midnight hoagie perhaps they’d finally provide others with something people are proven to enjoy — a transformation story.
