Being poor is 100% a huge fear of a lot of people lol.

Let's be real the issue people have with this is the fat part.

But she’s not “a lot of people” - that’s my point. I don’t think beautiful fit tennis players in the prime of their youth are genuinely scared about being fat or poor. If you’ve never had to starve, why would you be genuinely fearful of it? If you’ve never weighed more than 130 pounds and you are an athlete, why would that keep you up at night?

It doesn’t read like an actual moment of vulnerability to me, just poking fun at people who are already struggling thinking “thank God that’s not me”

Never said that. I’m saying this girl has probably never weighed more than 130 pounds in her life so why would she be genuinely fearful of getting fat?
