blud is gonna crash out at toddler calling them or someone else fat and stinky with that “fatphobic” point lmao
But seriously, there certainly is a degree of classism and elitism - I remember there was a quite popular post after Trump got elected that basically showed how if people with higher education only were allowed to vote, then Kamala would have won, and the comments went how you’d expect them to go. The sentiment can still be found today in lib news threads, though they are much rarer since Republicans are no longer the hot topic and now it’s ICE or whatever.
Though to be fair, it probably has less to do with them hating the poor, obese or people who didn’t go for education for any reason and it’s just a product of the team sports politics bullshit the vast majority are knee deep in. Gotta cheer your side and throw any insult you can think of at the other!
Never said fatphobia isn’t an issue - it very much is, and it either stems from or gets heavily amplified by the bourgeois class society we live in. After all, a worker that is overweight might not be as productive, might not fit certain positions and therefore is turned into a moralization or demonization without much nuance. Bring in nationalism and it’s an Ubermensch situation.
That being said, this team sport shit slinging at the other side thing is most likely not that deep and is just a competition to see who can say more bad words at the other side with 0 thought
