I don’t think the feelings of purportedly marginalized communities have anything to do with this. This is performative nonsense meant to make the editors feel good.
I was a fat kid and struggled with my weight for most of my life. I was teased at school and all that. It sucked, and I was also really sensitive which didn’t help. That said, I don’t believe I would have registered “fat” or “enormous” as being different in any way or that one would have been more or less offensive than the other. I also don’t remember being offended by Augustus Gloop being fat or being described as fat when I read the book.
