"Seek out imagery and company of hot fat folks..."The Fats now want people to get "conversion therapy," so that they can be seen as sexy.

Well, here's the thing--when you aren't attracted to fat people at all, there are no "hot fat folks" to seek out. "Fat" and "hot," in that case are mutually-exclusive categories. That Venn diagram is two separate circles, with no overlap.
Oh, sure, you may believe certain fat folks are hot. But you don't get to point to your idea of a hot fatty, and say, "See? That's hot." Because anybody with a shred of self-respect will reply, "Maybe to you they are, but not to me, and you really think they're so hot, why don't you pursue them?"
"...take time to get to know them as people, and they'll become just as interesting as anyone else."
Yes, some fatties--some people--do turn out to be interesting, once we know them as individuals. But it doesn't follow that we will feel any attraction to them because of that. There are a lot of interesting people nobody wants to fuck, and not all of them are fatties. They may be people we value as friends, or possibly colleagues--both of which are perfectly satisfying, and underrated, sorts of relationships--but we still don't find them "hot," or want to fuck them.
But it's interesting that you start this sentence by suggesting we should desensitize ourselves by focusing our attention on "hot fat folks"--those whose outward appearance you consider sexually attractive--only to finish it by suggesting it's really their personalities that will win us over.
Well, if it's really their stellar personalities that will win us over, then why not encourage us to hang out with any fatties within reach, even the bog-ugly ones? If fat people are so deeply interesting, so thoughtful, so filled with compassion and humanity and wisdom that we're sure to fall for them if we just get to know them, then why do they need to be "hot" at all?
If they prove to be "just as interesting as anyone else," however--well, that's not a very high bar, is it? If we've never been attracted to fat people, and their personalities are just as interesting as those of slim/fit people we find attractive, then why force ourselves to try feeling attraction to fatties at all? We can get it on with thins who are just as interesting--and toward whom we feel a genuine, unforced attraction.
The gay conversion therapy comparison has already been made, but seriously, this cartoon might as well be written by a non-passing troon trying to convince lesbians to love girldick by watching tranny porn and hanging out with the sluttiest-looking TIMs they can find.
People don't usually write someone off because they're a little bit chubby, but they do write off people who act as if they are entitled to anyone else's sexual/romantic interest just because they happen to want it. That's a profound level of disrespect to show toward people you want to be partners with. And these same people would be furious at anybody who told them who they should want to have sex with. Hell, they already are. Just tell a fatgirl who believes this stuff that maybe she should try dating fat guys--but put your earplugs in first, because the reeing will fucking deafen you.
