Prejudice and discrimination against people who are considered overweight according to current societal standards. Fatism, or weightism, is frequently excused, tacitly approved, and perpetuated on the basis that it is linked to the legitimate health concern of obesity. However, the function of fatism is not health-related. Instead, it is a means to oppress and marginalize an individual based on a perceived inadequacy in their appearance. Fatism can even be a subconscious, internalized bias.

Fatism is also often viewed as a feminist issue, because this form of discrimination is generally applied more heavily against women than men in most modern cultures.

When Bill decided to promote Gwen instead of Margaret because he felt Margaret’s extra weight was repulsive and didn’t represent the company's values, it was a clear case of fatism.

Flatism

The act of flattening, crushing, and reducing the human genitals to ash, in the pursuit of sexual pleasure. This act can be performed in groups, though not exceeding fifty-seven. Flatism is often used as part of a courting ritual between those who do not wish to procreate…….. EVER!!!!!

“I saw on Janet’s profile that she’s into Flatism! That is very appealing to me because I to am aroused by the idea of my genitals being crushed under the weight of a tractor.”
