What do you think about these "plus-size" travelers complaining that they can’t comfortably fit on airplanes?

So this video has recently gone viral again so I'm just gonna leave it here and let you guys talk it over in the comments. I give you, plus-size travelers and their complaints about traveling comfortably:

We're plus-sized travelers — of course we think about if we need a second seat before we book a flight.

We're plus-sized travelers — of course we ask for the seatbelt extender as soon as we board the flight.

We're plus-sized travelers — of course we're expected to pay more, just to travel comfortably.

"Fat acceptance" has turned into its own bizarre Marxist grievance study at this point, where the hegemonic power structures of normal society (like, you know, airplanes and stuff) are actively oppressing the morbidly obese.

Someone needs to tell Gorlok the Destroyer to tone down on the carbs.

Given the physiological changes that have occurred since my ex left (thank you, Jesus), I ought to ask her what flying is like.

Anyone who has had to sit next to someone who needs two seats knows how miserable it can be - as they spill over onto the seat you paid for are are trying to sit in.

I am a small female, not overweight - and I find the seats smaller than ever even for someone of my size. We flew first-class with points and those seats were comfortable but I wouldn’t call them roomy at all.

The airlines are trying to cram as many people as possible on these flights and have made the seats smaller and the aisles narrower.

Capitalize on your niche.
Buy a C17 with the "seating" kit and open your own airline.

Nobody crammed all that food down your throat for all those years. It’s your problem, of your own making, and don’t try to solve it by creating problems for all of us who aren’t disgusting gluttons.

You don’t have to be plus sized to not fit in seats anymore. Pretty much not a midget and you don’t fit.

We're plus-sized travelers

You're disgusting fatbodies, and I found just the airplane to carry your oversized load:

They have these boxes you have to put your carry on into to see if it fits and can be carried on.

They should do the same for passengers.

“of course we’re expected to pay more, just to travel comfortably.”

Comfortable?....PFFFT...I’m of average size if not a little less and I can say with all confidence I’ve never been comfortable on any flight I’ve ever taken.

It starts out as UNcomfortable and just gets worse as the flight goes on, so I’m not sure what they are looking for is even attainable.

C-130. Sit in back. We’ll shove you out over your destination.
