    Imagine calling someone racist and fatphobic because of their romantic preferences.

    Am I man-phobic because I’m not attracted to men?

      You don’t have to be romantically attracted to anyone and any trait may put you off.

      You also don’t have to yell to the world about it.

      I want to give you a demonstration of what it feels like to be mocked for your appearance like this woman was mocked by this man, but it would be mean so I don’t think I will.

        I’m not defending the guy, but why call him fatphobic and racist, which isn’t relevant here, instead of, you know, saying he’s mean, an asshole, prick, etc…?

        Truth be told, if you asked most people to recreate this meme but for them, they would also appear racist and fatphobic to you.
