I don’t get it either. Maybe it’s because of how media has conditioned people to believe what is considered attractive and anyone outside of that tiny box should be hated for being different

Personally I think it has to do with cognitive dissonance. The more effort someone puts into not being fat, and the more they put themselves through suffering to be really skinny or fit, the more they have to justify this behavior. They can usually justify it by reasoning that it being fat makes people ugly and miserable. If they see someone who is fat who they think is happy or even content with themselves, they have to hate them or insult them in order to be able to justify their own behavior.

People strive to not be fat, and they don’t like seeing what they’re afraid of. Also it’s unhealthy

That actually makes a lot of sense. Most people who are assholes to fat people often come off as having some kind of insecurity or compulsive behavior to explain why they say the things they say
