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?"

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.
