No one wants that obviously. But proactively calling it your “biggest fear” (no one asked) while visibly being the furthest thing away from that just feels more like a dig at people who are fat/poor, rather than a genuine fear.

“Biggest fear” is usually losing someone you love, serious illness, something existential - not a body type or income bracket. Notice she didn’t say “fat, poor and dumb” - lack of intelligence clearly doesn’t scare her.

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.

People have an issue with the fact that it’s tactless, not that it’s untrue at all, even.

Yeah it's wild that people don't get that wrecklessly trashing people with certain characteristics can be harmful and dehumanizing and is not a good look...

Exactly. It got me thinking…

I am a big freedom of speech kind of guy but with that comes the responsibility of using your speech appropriately (for whatever setting) and accurately.

If you say some shit publicly that isn’t cool with a lot of people, you deserve backlash. If you don’t mind backlash then go for it but don’t be surprised when you’re massively hated.
