i go on twitter. people on my timeline are agreeing that you should be allowed to exclude fat people from your results on dating apps the same you can exclude genders. somebody else reshares a viral video where a man proudly proclaims that he will not sit next to a fat person on a plane. i go on tiktok. a pair of girls post a video sharing advice for fat people visiting amusement parks. every comment is some remark about how the advice wouldn’t be needed if they’d just stop being fat. another video shows a street interviewer asking a fat man what he orders at burger king, it’s a joke that he isn’t in on, but he answers that he orders one regular sized burger to eat part of and save for later. all of the comments smugly announce that he must be lying, surely he orders multiple large meals and eats them all in one sitting. i go on instagram. a friend of a friend shares on their story a ‘funny’ video of a fat woman working out. it doesn’t seem like she consented to being filmed, or that she’s even aware of it. there’s a debate in the comments about if fat women have the ‘right’ to wear sports bras and yoga pants. somebody jokes that she probably left the gym and went straight to mcdonalds, and their comment gets 2k likes
