It’s almost like people just want to bitch about fatties for the sake of bitching about fatties since any other group they bitch about is taboo.

No. The problem in America is we have 'normalized' Obesity to the point where you can't dare criticize them or you get ridiculous push back. Don't believe me? Just read this thread. Being fat is NOT normal. Being on a ton of prescription medications so you can continue to eat like a pig and be lazy and stay alive is NOT normal. Until we acknowledge this nothing is going to change. Our healthcare system in this country is an absolute mess due to Obesity and it is just getting worse. Putting a bunch of fatties on wonder drugs who will just revert to being fatties with lord knows how many health complications when they get off isn't the answer. Our government is to blame for much of this because they won't ban harmful chemicals/additives to food here like other counties do. That is a whole separate topic though.
