There appear to be a lot of people who derive a significant amount of their self-confidence and self-image from not being fat, and looking down on people who are. They seem to get pretty upset when people who they've been able to dismiss as fat become not fat, and hate that these drugs allow the users of them to take away that moral superiority -- various GLP1 subreddits are full of stories about them.

I'd never encountered anyone like that in real life, but they show up over and over again on any discussion of these drugs. It's very strange to me.
