Many who criticize fat people aren't motivated by concern for their wellbeing; instead, they use health rhetoric as justification for hostility, disguising bullying as care

I feel like most criticisms by non-health professionals online directed at fat people are simply disguised bullying, as the health science here gets used to make the bully feel superior while the fat person being criticized get silenced as they become a punch bag.

To be clear, being fat is a huge risk factor for many diseases and could cause early death.

But making this personal by creating a environment of hate toward a person who is not harming other people in any way, instead of educational to guide or advice the person to become healthier, achieve nothing to the benefit of the person, while normalizing hate.
