like genuinely the rate at which i go to block somebody for being an outright bigot and discover that i had already blocked them a while ago for being weird to fat people is just crazy. a lot of people with deeply hateful conservative views like to test the waters with shit like this against groups that "don't really count" while maintaining at least a facade of progressivism outside of that, and while fat people should not have to be canaries in the coal mine for you to care about us, i do think it's worth acknowledging that being hateful about fat people & our bodies is very often a tell that somebody is eventually going to go mask off with more widely frowned upon reactionary politics
