'Fat Women Are Freaking Gross' Dating Video Sparks Backlash
TikTok video has sparked backlash after the creator shared dating preferences and said that "fat women are freaking gross", and Newsweek spoke with an expert about what was said—and if it should have been said at all.Last week, TikTok user xtheromanempire, or Nicholas Roman, shared a video with a caption that said "This WILL TRIGGER 99% of people."In the video, Roman begins by saying "I think fat women are freaking gross.
Not really a fan of Indian women. Trans dudes, they look f****** weird. All of those are dating preferences of mine, and I'm allowed to have those, and so are you."The creator of the video goes on to say, "I love all people just the same and I believe in unity among all people, but I'm allowed to have a dating preference."Over the past few months, members of the LGBTQ+ community have faced issues relating to conservative boycotts and legislation seeking to prohibit gender-affirming care for minors.
Additionally, in March 2022, Bloomberg reported that weight discrimination in the workplace remains legal in many U.S. states.
