Talk:fatphobia

Is this really necessary?[edit]

Hooray. A wokeist neologism invented by someone too stupid to look up the actual word has made to Wiktionary. Fatphobia isn't a thing. Fear of fat people is called cacomorphobia. Fear of becoming fat is called pocrescophobia or obesophobia. While I've never heard of the term being used to describe someone who's afraid of consuming fat, that's certainly possible. Usually, it's been used to describe someone who's afraid of becoming fat.

You should at least include all the synonyms for this fake word, so it doesn't look like you're quite so determined to dumb down all of Western civilization. After all, these terms have existed much longer than this sophomoric crap. 2603:9000:8D07:AAB0:8826:25F5:D021:CFF1 16:20, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
