Anyway, most of us are aware that being too overweight has health implications, therefore promoting being overweight is like promoting smoking or heavy drinking. Not a good idea.
However, I'd say the amount of fat people who are actually happy to be fat is far fewer than those who hate being fat - so this fat pride epidemic you seem to perceive doesn't ring true to me.
Also when you say cuntish things like "most of them [fat people] have personalities as vile as their bloated bodies" it's hard to take your point seriously.
I'd say just as the obese have blown themselves out of proportion, you've blown this 'fat-pride' issue out of proportion. Keep things in perspective. Also try and see the humanity underneath all that fat; they're just people with excessive fat in common, that's it. They deserve to be given a chance like any of us.
Not agreeing with the Op however they have been making a lot of plus size model shows. That are heavy and ok with it. That are happy to promote plus size cloth for ladies. Perhaps this is where they are getting the idea of it being promoted.
I haven't seen it round these parts. The only shows where obesity is a selling-point here is those one-off shock-docs about someone so fat they can't walk and will die if they eat one more doughnut.
Well they are a lot more open about it. They did not use to be so proud. Since for a long time they use to ostracize fat people. When they started the anti bullying campaign this kind of went along with it. So people who were bullied like nerds, gays, fat people suddenly were told its ok to be who you are. If you have a fat model though its also bad to have an anorexic one it says its ok to be fat.
It says you can be fat and pretty. Which means that people are no longer going to try to lose weight. Since they say "Well she’s fat, rich and pretty"! I can do it to. Which is honestly not a great message but it means that people will not get picked on as much for these issues.
Though given the sedentary life styles we have taken on and the quick convenience of McDonalds compared to a home cooked meal. This was bound to happen. They also have the plus size model beauty pageants which feature plus size models from different areas. No I do not watch any of these. I have heard of them though. Though people will be fat for a number of reasons.
Is it normal I'm tired of "fat pride?"

Maybe that's an American trend?

As obesity becomes more prevalent, inevitably it's more visible and more tolerated.
However I know nobody personally who is proud to be fat. I know many who are unhappy about their excess weight.
I also think beauty pageants are shit regardless of whether they promote fake titted, skinny airheads or enormous, flabulous overeaters.
My point was I don't think 'fat pride' is particularly common.
