Tim argues that body positivity has flipped cultural energy so that being overweight now gets the excited reactions that being thin used to get, mocking the health-denial rhetoric around obesity.
- Fat is the new thin — the energy that used to come with being thin now comes with being fat.
- Tim describes the shift: "go girl" used to mean a hot woman in a little black dress in the 80s or 90s, now it means looking like Thanos from the Avengers.
- Tim says he has to lose weight because he doesn't want to be part of the fat friend movement, which isn't cool anymore.
- Big women sit down and can't even breathe in their lives — there is a relationship between weight and health.
