Fat phobia? What's up with labeling things that people don't like as phobias? We aren't scared, we're repulsed....
Speak for yourself. I'm scared they're gonna eat me as a snack when they get hungry.
LMAO!

this is obviously satire
Nope, it is a real paper. Right at the beginning, this New Zealand based whale pod says:
"This is particularly evident in the ways in which pandemic responses are pushing renewed energy into the moral panic around fatness, reinforcing the problematisation of fat people as subjects of blame for poor self-management and as burdens on healthcare resources and community wellbeing."
That thing is sadly real. Although American, last I saw it was at some university in New Zealand. Not sure about the reality of its name (might be a nom de plume).
ETA: Never mind. I see someone else responded with essentially the same info.
