Regardless, i think she’s bent out of shape over no morbidly obese people on the Enterprise simply because she looks to sci-fi to mentally escape the reality of her situation, and the blatant lack of people her size in that show only serves to keep reminding her. She’s not mad that she isn’t represented, she’s mad that the lack of representation is obvious and keeps reminding her of her own self-loathing, such that she can’t sufficiently access total escapism.
You're likely right about her, but I can't get over what an utterly fucked up mindset that represents. Compare that to a Star Trek fan who might be poor and financially struggling right now: I'm certain that person thinks "Wouldn't it be great to live in a world where I never had to worry about how I'd pay my bills?" rather than "In Starfleet, they don't show anyone poor enough to worry about paying their bills! There's no place in Starfleet for people like me!"
