Hey! Let’s exploit and ridicule the morbidly obese, because they’re less sympathetic than hot young women.
And the not-hot-not-young women who usually complain about exploitation feel rather superior when they see these desperately overweight souls being humiliated.
It must be their fault, after all.
So it’s okay then.
