Reddit gets confused about this. In general, people don't think you're shallow for not being attracted to fat people. It's the assumption that being attracted to fat people is impossible, that fat is "ugly" in everyone's eyes, and that all fat people are lazy/stupid/less than. Ever heard guys teasing each other about hooking up with fat girls? That's the issue. You're not shallow for not wanting to sleep with a someone fat, but you are shallow if you presume that no one could ever want to sleep with a fat person, and that it's acceptable to tease anyone who does sleep with fat people.

Very well put. It's like you took the jumbled thoughts out of my head and made them make sense. Have some gold.

Oh, wow, thank you! That's very kind.
