Well define special people . If it’s a truly special person of some sorts I ll give my seat up in a heart beat . However a fat person who’s BMI is just wayyyy over there correct index isnt special . They are just overweight!! That’s it . And we as a society are starting to be scared to call out someone who’s weight is affecting other people . Esp in the US.
I agree they are cramming more seats in airplanes , but that doesn’t excuse fat people for causing discomfort of others.
And I’m not talking about a fellow a little overweight from sucking down too many beers . They aren’t causing the problems . The larger people who are boarder line obease and pre-diabetic are the problem. And the rate of people in that category Are growing fast.

So this is what it’s like to get old.
I just no longer understand societal norms... like having terms like “fat shaming”.
We are the only generation, heck the only species this world has known that puts feelings in front of common sense.
If you are so fat that you spill onto another person’s seat then frankly you should feel bad about yourself.
