They do get left alone, to the point that they're multiplying.

Maybe it's the ad companies that should leave fat people alone.

Yep, but we can keep shaming smokers and drug addicts
Sheesh we can't even have recognition and advocacy for autistic people without accusing them of having mental illness anymore thanks to an increasing resisting counterculture that seems to be developing due to the glorification of mental illness
