Fatphobia feels socially acceptable in a way a lot of other things aren't

So I experience ableism, racism, sexism, and anti-queerness. With the resurgence of the R word, I've been thinking more about how little I experience covert ableism, et al. I feel the structural effects of them and do get a wild comment every now and then, but it's not really in my face day in and day out, at least online and in the liberal/moderate cities I've lived in. Like I can remember each time someone's called me a racial slur. But a fat bitch*? Couldn't tell you. The frequency and boldness with which people say fatphobic shit feels really unique. Do people who also live at these intersections feel this way or is just the communities I find myself in?

*I realize this is simultaneously a sexist comment

Where are the fat men?

Most posts in this sub are of average sized people. Literally very common body type. Idk why actual big fat men are there in this sub. Is it something else? Where are the men with big beautiful bellies ans double chins. Men with curves, rolls, with handsome round faces and beautiful smiles? Everyone is so obsessed with their genitals, I wanna see physiques with rolls, hanging bellies, men taking up space

Why are fat people so beautiful?

I don't understand why fat people are so fricking beautiful? Especially their double chins are absolutely gorgeous. When they have round faces and double chins, their smiles are so adorable. It is so unbelievable that humans can be this lovely. 😭😭😭😭😭 I'm just awestruck sometimes.
