    The term fatphobia in general always irked me, it’s a co-opting of phobias usage with homophobia and feels like it’s trying to elevate itself to that level.

      There are definitely folk who see obese people as an acceptable target because they can hide behind (valid) health claims, and then justify their moral superiority because they don’t have those “personal failures”.

      The litmus test is if they think Semaglutide/GLP-1 is “legitimate” or obese people using it are “cheating”.
