>publicly shaming fat people is violent speech.
I don't dig generic jabs at fat people since it's in bad taste (calling out fat people that try to say being fat is healthy is another thing entirely) but I'm not sure how it's "violent".
To go off on a bit of a tangent: Don't get me wrong, I know the power words have since I was bullied for several years. I also understand how much of a struggle weight loss can be. But part of the reason that those words are so powerfully negative for a fat person is because of the shame they already feel for being obese, unhealthy and having no self control.
Besides the rare medical exception these people are in a bad place mentally and physically. Hiding external confirmation of what you already know about yourself doesn't do anything but reenforce the downward spiral of self destruction.
