i feel like the way gen z throws around the words "bigback" and "fatass" is insane? im pretty sure both of these terms are rooted in making fun of fat people? especially the word fatass.
one time my best friend told me to "get up, u little fatass" and as someone who is already insecure about their weight it really stuck with me. i know they would never genuinely make fun of me but that sentence kinda shocked me because it hurt so much. and i heard a classmate once say to their friend that they were so big they took up the entire classroom. and on another youtube video i saw a mukbanger say that they didn't do something (i forgot what) so they wouldn't look like a little fatass. all of these people were around my age with the exception of the mukbanger who was still gen z.
all of this to say that the word fatass in all of the above situations was used in a derogatory manner towards fat people -- even though they didn't say it directly to a fat person, the word itself is rooted in fatphobia and the way they used it indicates that they seek to be derogatory towards fatness. same with the way gen z typically uses the word "bigback" -- that word originated from that dora remix about someone who eats a ton of snacks and gets a big back, aka gets fat. ive seen so many people throw this word around when talking about food like "im being such a bigback right now" or "you're such a bigback" in a teasing way. they're basically saying "im being so fat, im doing what fat people do".
like it's fine to tease your friends but im confused as to why we are using words that are derogatory towards fatness? especially since gen z is a generation that has a ton of members who are all about acceptance, mental health, and body positivity. and imma be honest i am super sensitive to these comments because im super insecure about my weight, so being called those words, even in jest, or even hearing them around me makes me hate myself even more. that may just be a me issue to work on, though.
and ive even heard some of my friends call people who eat a lot of food "fatty", even if that person isn't fat. i feel so confused about this because i see nobody else talking about these terms specifically and i think they're harmful but because nobody is saying anything im wondering whether im just being whiny and sensitive?

I have a research background in weight stigma and I currently work in mental health, often with LGBTQ+ clients.
I've met nonbinary people who struggle with disordered eating because they only ever see androgyny depicted as featureless thinness.
I've met trans women who struggle with disordered eating because they've internalized the idea that girls are meant to be thin, dainty, and delicate.
I've men trans men who struggle with disordered eating, because they feel women are allowed to be soft/curvy but men need to be muscular or thin and flat.
So many trans people are convinced that weight loss is the key to appearing as their desired gender, even when they want radically different gender presentations.
The societal idealization of thinness and fatphobia falsely invades and derails people's idea of what their "ideal body" should look like.

i just googled the terms "bigback", "fatass" and "fatty" and they're all considered offensive terms because they're words for calling someone fat in a derogatory way.
so now im confused as to why their use is so widespread. is it because of ingrained fatphobia and not thinking about the words being used? is it because some people genuinely have no idea that these words are supposed to be derogatory towards fat people? is it both?
is this that worldwide, ingrained fatphobia that ive seen so many posts online talking about fighting?
i feel like the way gen z throws around the words "bigback" and "fatass" is insane? im pretty sure both of these terms are rooted in making fun of fat people? especially the word fatass.

I missed the "hold and scroll" part so this is how I experienced this post. He takes it easy. He approaches the task step by step. This Ethan Hunt guy... he's kind of a chiller
