Should Fat People Be Given More Accommodations? - Hear me out...

There should be a "large" seating area, not purely a fat one.

I've sat next to really built guys on a train before and they take up about as much room like a fat person, and probably weigh about the same if not more while taking up room someone else has paid for. Not deliberately, they're just big.

Not everyone is 5ft something, I think it's a good idea.

I’ll give you a deep thoughts answer here.

Yeah, fat people are very unpleasant and affects those around them, be it physical space or tax dollars in disability. It’s a “big” problem in the US and other countries.

One approach, your approach, is to accept that this is the new standard, and adapt to it. I disagree with this, because this approach scratches the surface. In fact, I’d argue that this will make this worse.

First, people aren’t becoming fat because of “genetics”. If that was the case, and 2/3 of the US population is overweight, then we need to bring back eugenics. The truth is that people are, be it inherited or raised to be, lazy and selfish. They gorge themselves out because of the pleasure eating brings, with no regard to personal care and health. As the consequences show, they begin to hate themselves for their image (rightfully so). As the adipose affects their thinking, they go to eating to bring back the feeling of pleasure and good vibes. Overeating is, effectively, a kind of drug.

Which brings me to the second part. If we decide to accommodate these irresponsible people, we are merely enabling their behavior to gorge out and continue to be lazy and selfish. This is the equivalent to giving an alcoholic larger drinks for a reduced price for the same feeling they had when they started. Or, it’s like giving a heroin addict more to reach that first high. We would be destroying these people. I care for the people around me, but showing love is not the same as being empathetic and making someone feel good.

What we need to do is correct what we as a society have failed to do in developing the character of these people. We must take away accommodations that make their lives easier for their problems. These can be simple as refusing to make things bigger for them. We can make disability conditional by mandating counseling. Whatever the case is, enabling them by just making things bigger is the worst approach to this issue.

Render them second class citizens and enforce segregation. Make them sit at the back like black people used to.

That's an unsafe load distribution that will make the bus do a wheelie and go careening off the road.

No. Not being able to fit into seats etc should be a wake up call to lose weight as it is. Further widening seats to accommodate deathfats (have you ever seen a bariatric toilet?) is just further feeding denial. Of course for many people obesity related health problems isn't motivation enough. Still.

No, I propose to give them less accommodations.
Smaller seats everywhere, lower weight capacity on elevators, no electric stairs. Maybe that way they can stay locked up like the miserable piles of shit they are or finally lose some weight.

It depends. There are some people who fall on hard times and become fat, and for the most part, it's a normal coping mechanism. But people who are willfully fat like Amber Lynn should be told to take a flip.

But nowhere they could accidentally smash actual people to death.

Most of them don't really feel shame, that's the point. Opting for the Bariatric life is a choice and they claim/take away facilities and initiatives from those who are truly crippled or handicapped. The only thing they have to do to cure their condition is to stop fucking eating everything they lay their hands on.
