Trisha Paytas asserts that societal preference for thinness is a systemic reality.

“the world is fat phobic a th% like people will always prefer a skinny person over fat and I I've never been skinny but I'm on this Tik Tok where I see weight loss people and being like yeah Paul people treated me so much better when I lost weight and it's true”

Karmalita Fox characterizes her fat-phobic content as a performance rather than a genuine expression of hatred toward fat people.

“no carita Fox is definitely a character it's a culmination of all my friends thoughts and opinions on society and stuff like that it's more trolly I'm definitely acting and stuff like that I don't hate fat people”
