We just donāt want to do it.
Actually being a Christian is apparently nowhere near as fun as hating on gay people, women, and basically anyone who isnāt in a position of power

Not amongst rednecks/hillbillies.
And as someone who grew up rural and has been called a redneck (or even a āleft-wing redneckā) from time to time, not even then.
But slamming people with medical problems which make them fat: troll away. Because even though stress and shame are well-known triggers for over-eating, too many people want to believe āsomething needs to be saidā āfor the good of the personās healthā. 'Cos, you know, fat people are too dumb to figure that out for themselves.
ETA: not to mention that there are plenty of fat people who are actually active and healthy, and plenty of thin people who are not.

well, of course not ā thatās how it has always worked: people have always felt the need to hurt and make fun of what they are not and have no understanding of. nothing new there. but there is MUCH more social pressure to be sensitive to people of different body types than there is to be sensitive about a rural stereotype.

Definitely. The wrong people feel guilty? But all my relatives are a pool with a number of examples of rural stereotypes. How do they deal with the pressure to change? Trying and succeeding or failing is a losing proposition because you are still living according to othersā judgement.
Er. No, thatās not really the problem with being bred and groomed to be a rural stereotype, that problem is the one of being a psychopath groomed to be a rural stereotype that relies on being a psychopath. Thereās empathy there from me (watched it, felt the pressure to join the team) but not sympathy (watched plenty of rurals make the choice not to be psycho). Living oneās life while everyone around you is judging you on things that arenāt even on your mind is the other thing.
I grew up stuck in the rural child-development-hell, the child-development-hell where youāre being pushed by the dominant people in the small-town hive to join the local business community and self-styled gun club/militias. If that experience were easier to talk about, maybe the whole community would more effectively resist, but itās not about the people who accept the psychosis.

Sadly, this is true.
Fat-shaming is becoming less and less PC, but Iām still surrounded by trust-fund babies who are at least four generations removed from having a speck of dirt underneath their fingernails. Due to a lack of socioeconomic mobility, thatās unlikely to change anytime soon. Fat-shaming may be going away, but poor-shaming is here to stay.
Not to say that fat-shaming isnāt a problem, because it is. These people are rather tiresome, heaping scorn upon anyone who eats more than 3/4 cup of flaxseed and a boiled chicken breast and who goes to the gym less than four times a week. Most of us have other priorities than physical fitness. Itās a complete holier-than-thou thing on the part of the fat-shamers, nothing more nothing less.
Regardless, fat-shamers and poor-shamers are just people celebrating their own cluelessness. Not even worth paying attention to except to tell them to shut the fuck up and grow up already.
