This just sends the message that the validity of marginalized identities is conditional on the folks with those identities aligning with your beliefs, which is a double standard. You don't body shame someone in good shape because you disagree with their beliefs, you challenge and make fun of them on the basis of their beliefs.
Why should marginalized folks have to work any harder, on the basis of their identity alone, to earn equal standing with what you personally deem to be normal? This just gives away that you see these folks as "other" and only support them as far as they can personally benefit you.
And to be clear, I'm not just talking about fat people. Would you make dehumanizing jokes about Candace Owens or Clarence Thomas on the basis of their race? Why's it acceptable, then, to attack queer conservatives on the basis of being queer, or this guy for being fat? Why degrade your allyship just to go for low hanging fruit? Don't we want these things to become so normal that they cease to be questioned by even the most conservative parts of society?
