For me it's a sort of rebellion and affirmation.
So many fatphobic people couch their rhetoric in this self-righteous, faux compassionate "SAVING YOUR LIFE" language.
They'll do cruel spiteful things to people and say "Well they were killing themselves, we had to be mean to save them..."
So it's like defiance.
"You don't care about how long I live, asshole! That's not me, at least I'm enjoying the rest of my life! I know you think it's disgusting how obese I am, stay mad!"
