so... it's established very blatantly in s3e6 que será será that chase has something deeply personal against fat people.

& as a raised catholic, i would honestly not be surprised if these views were ingrained through him being brought up as a catholic, since so many of the teachings emphasise the evils of gluttony.

for background:

there's the whole experience of lent in general - denying yourself through abstinence, jesus fasting for 40 days & 40 nights by resisting the temptation of satan, paralleling eating food as giving into evil. ironically, chase even says the patient's blood is thicker than pancake batter (alluding to shrove tuesday) in s3e6 que será será. fucking diabolical.

adam & eve being tempted into eating fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and being cast out of heaven for this: the interpretation that food gives you clarity of mind, but is deserving of punishment.

the emphasis on asceticism (especially amongst catholic martyrs, and monastics like nuns and monks) as a sign that you are good, more pure and more holy as a person (it doesn't <3)

gluttony being a deadly sin (🖕)

probably more that i've missed, & that's not even mentioning the influence biblical text has on christian society & attitudes towards food and fat people in general.

whilst the bible also emphasises food as a gift from god (genesis 1:29) and states that food will neither take you closer or further away from god, it's literally just food (1 corinthians 8:8, god bless)... culturally, in catholic society, there is definitely more of an emphasis on the above messages.

combine this with the widespread contemporary 90s/00s social and medical views regarding obesity + chase's incredibly strong view that it's wrong to burden your loved ones with your health & addictions, based on his issues with caring for his alcoholic mother as a kid (@ljblueteak goes into this beautifully in this post)... well, it's kinda unsurprising that he's fatphobic.

s3e6 que será será goes into this too. chase is making constant medical/social pre-judgements about george (the obese patient) throughout the episode, only to hilariously keep being corrected - making a lovely socio-medical commentary throughout the ep.

chase also blames george for his illness, implying he doesn't deserve medical help because chase believes he brought it upon himself through his obesity - comparing george to drug addicts and alcoholics who he believes are the same & don't deserve medical help. which also says sooo much about how he resents caring for his alcoholic mother as a kid. jesus christ, this guy has trauma.

also, the way that chase is fatphobic is very visceral and personal. foreman even acknowledges this in the episode, jokingly asking if chase was bullied by a gang of fat kids. you get the feeling that this kind of hatred has more to it than being raised in a typical 90s fatphobic society (otherwise cameron & foreman would be the exact same). hence the ingrained catholic aversion to gluttony and chase resenting being burdened by his alcoholic mother.

When I rewatch S8E21, I laugh so hard at Wilson. He and House are planning to go hiking (before all of the shenanigans), and House tells him that his legs are not the same as the first time they went with each other. Then Wilson just casually decides to add just one more day to the itinerary.

Like dude, your friend's a cripple. With half a thigh. Have you forgotten the flaming cane YOU bought for him? Have you looked at his leg? This leg?

You expect a guy like this to climb a mountain with a peak almost 8000 feet? You also are having cancer Wilson, and both of you are what, 50-year-old men, which is not young at all?

And they still say Wilson's the normal one in the dynamic of Hilson 🙄 However, credit where credit is due, after Wilson says that, House be like "OK, one more day is fine with me." No doubt they are best friends.
