It's certainly disgust.

Not disgust with fat people.

I'm fat, and have been most of my life (with a brief period of bodybuilding in between periods of being a fatass). My wife is fat. We both recognize where we are in life, and are working to fix it.

What disgusts me is not fat people. It's simpering PC excuse-making, enabling, assholes that are convinced that no one is responsible for their own choices... and no one should have to be held accountable for those choices.

I'm fat because I ate too much and didn't excercise enough. If you try to condescend towards me and tell me "it's not your FAWWT!!! YOU JUST A BIG BOOOOYYYY!! YESS YOU IIISSS..."

My instinct would honestly be to kill you. Fortunately for you, I'm an adult, NOT a baby (regardless of what you think), and I have the capacity of choosing not to follow my instincts. I also recognise that as an adult I SHOULD be held responsible for my choices... and I do not want the consequences of violence.

So instead of killing you, I merely say that you are a completely disgusting person, who I detest. I do not need your protection, your defense, and I certainly don't need you to absorb the consequences of my choices for me so I can continue to make bad choices.

It's not disgust with fat people, it's disgust with PC idiocy which results in the tone that you so disparage.

I don't hate fat people. I hate you for your view that fat people are too weak to be anything else and too immature to be held accountable. I hate you for belittling me.

There. Now you're answered.
