Why People Hate Fat on People?
by Do fat loathers care about the welfare of the object of their disdain or is their criticism an attempt at assassinating the character of an individual by highlighting their undesirable trait and vulnerabilities so as to boost ego and personal interest?
Why people hate fat people?
Fat people are ugly!
Fat people are the butt of jokes!
Fat is unhealthy and fat people should know that and change their lifestyle!
Fat people are lazy!
Fat people do not have restrained!
Fat people are cows, whales, monsters…,
Fat people are greedy, gluttonous individuals with little sense of or knowledge of pursuing a healthy wholesome life!
Fat is bad!
I could continue with a litany of phrases and arrant that turned the word fat into a pejorative. Fat people have become second class citizen. Everyone is granted the free will and right to revile, discriminate and ridicule an overweight individual to suit their personal interest. People comment on a fat person’s body whether they want to hear it or not. They have little or any control over their self image as it is constantly battered by the media, peers and wider society that vehemently and health wise reject obesity.
When I watched the lifetime movie premiere of “To be Fat like me” It opened a dormant yet hindsight perspective to issues of weight, personal identity and social experiences.
Why do others hate on fat people?
It is because of fear or insecurity towards gaining weight. It is not so much the added pounds, the distortion of the body or the health problems why people fear gaining weight: it is because of the lessened and distasteful social experiences that overweight children and adults are subjected to. People are afraid of gaining weight because they are wary of the social consequences.
Fat people are less likely to marry desirable alpha partners. Fat people are less likely to have great jobs. People do not admire fat individuals and they are social disasters.
Friends laugh at men who date fat women. Fat women have far more undesirable social realities than fat men.
In really anyone can get fat. Oprah Winfrey is the richest woman known to the western hemisphere and people ridicule her weight gain. Celebrities are flung through the social commentary shredder and publicly spurned if they gain weight.
