I know you're saying this in bad faith as a thought-terminating cliché, but for those in the audience: no, that's not what body-shaming is. Nobody is deriding or judging the cat because of his body; they're deriding the actions of the cat's caretaker(s) responsible for keeping the cat healthy and not neglecting him.

The fuck is wrong with people?

Yeah, how dare people want to see pets not being abused. Quit body-shaming my dog just because he's skin-and-bones and it hurts him when he walks. I don't feed him, and you can't criticize that apparently, because really that's shaming him somehow. What do you mean, "I'm maliciously co-opting progressive talking points to justify animal abuse"?

It's not sad in bad faith. I am genuinely distressed at a person trying to share something fun and getting bombarded by the beliefs of others. You're a bully dude. Just let people have fun showing their feline friends. Not everything has to meet your body standards. Maybe the cat has a medical condition? Why are you judging cats and using that judgement to hate on the person too? You're a fucking bully.
