Like, if they deserve it there’s probably already something else about their personality to make fun of.
Which is why in the specific case that spurred this argument, Trump being called “a fat fuck”, the “fat” part is a mere qualifier for “fuck”, not the defining characteristic. Noone called him “a fattie”, or similar kindergarten-level insults. “Rich fuck” would also have been a possibility, but then consider context: We’re in a thread about “an immense weight on a great man”. The name of that weight? Among others, Donald Trump. You can’t not qualify “fuck” with “fat” in that context given Trump’s overall geometry.
And still, somehow, people managed to turn it into a discussion about body shaming. Five minute hate is over, comrade, you’ve had your daily dose of pointlessly imagining offence, move on, there’s grass to be touched.
