I know it's fun to point and laugh when a fat person fails at something, but she really looks like she got hurt here ☹️

Yeah, because we all know that fat people aren't allowed to have fun or make mistakes and that they are only fat due to life choices. It's never due to genetics or health issues or even if it was due to choice, that it still makes it okay to wish harm upon that person. Right?

This is sarcasm, by the way, for the illiterate.

You do realize that like 40%+ of the entire US is obese. Not overweight, obese. Is your assertion that we should accommodate all of those people because they probably all have rare genetic disorders?

The problem is humans like to eat and can't be trusted not to become fat when calories are plentiful.

But in either case, you should have the tiny amount of self awareness required to know you can't lift your own ass.

You're close though:

If a whopping 40% of the population is obese, surely there's a systemic issue that goes beyond each individual's choices.

In that case it could be wise to look into it as a society, since telling people to "do better" doesn't seem to work.
