but now there's the "fat positivity" movement. Being too kind to these people and affirming their delusions about how other people are just bigots for not being attracted to people who can't fit through doors in most buildings made the number of overweight and morbidly obese people skyrocket

Can you clearly show this using data? I'm not saying you're right or wrong, but if you're right, we should see a clear change in data starting from when the body positivity movement started (i.e. not just a continuing trend).

Yeah, I think that quote is mixing up causation and correlation. Obesity rates have been rising for the past few decades, mostly linked to processed foods containing higher calories becoming more common, but there's not a jump due to fat activism.

I do think that there are some fat activists go too far. Like, no, you aren't entitled to have hot people be attracted to you, no one's entitled to any attraction at all. However, going out of your way to be a dick to them doesn't help, just like you aren't bullying someone out of inceldom.

That's also my perspective. Sure, some people go to far, but that's literally always the case. But the obesity epidemic has far bigger reasons, ultimately coming down to late-stage capitalism.
