I almost considered starting a thread about that because there's an interesting discussionto be had there, but it would devolve into the usual "ew, gross, fatties" commentary real quicklike.

Yup. That's exactly why I didn't make it a thread.
I was 45lbs overweight at one time and I remember being treated that way. Some people wouldn't give me the time of day if I asked - men and women.
My ex actually told me I would make him "a laughing stock" if I met his friends. One of the many reasons he ended up in dump city.
Ugh. I guess living well is the best revenge, right?
That's the interesting angle on the scene. Reading some of the commentary on the various articles about the episode, a lot of people are saying, "well, you're attracted to what you're attracted to. He's supposed to go out with her even though he's not into fat chicks?" Which is missing the point, Louis' character *is* attracted to her, and like she said he probably would have slept with her, he just doesn't want to be seen as the kind of guy who dates fat girls.
BTW The thread link I posted below pretty much covered similar subject matter. Like those short, race, gender threads, do we really need another fat chick thread. This is coming from a fat woman, though I've not had the difficulties many seem to have encountered in their lives, I do understand and sympathize, but I just don't let those people that feel negative about me and how I appear into my life. I have a picture of myself at my heaviest and when I look at that picture it is with fondness, because those were some great times in my dating life and not with those that would keep me hidden. Maybe it had to do with my own views of self, I don't know, but even up till today, I've never been treated less than, likely because I don't allow it. I haven't any delusions, I understand, I don't appeal to the masses, but the masses don't appeal to me either.
Would I choose to be thin if I could be so at the drop of a hat, you better believe it, I'm sure I'd be a worse diva than I already am, there's a g-string bikini with my name on it.
I think fat discrimination is accepted and often encouraged; discriminating against "ugly" people is less so.
