Is She Really Fat-Shaming?

After months of tiptoeing around Max’s oversensitivity, our protagonist finally snaps back during a Zoom call when their nurse friend is accused of fat-shaming. She tells Max that the world doesn’t revolve around her feelings and that she needs a wake-up call. While her friends agree, Max accuses her of being an a**hole and hasn’t spoken to her since. But is our protagonist really in the wrong, or is Max’s sensitivity spiraling out of control? Let’s see what the internet has to say about this explosive situation…
