Did this BBW deserve to be body shamed?

She's not a BBW, because the second b is supposed to stand for beautiful, and I wouldn't consider her physically beautiful.

I'm happy that she's alive.

She would have also received some negative comments even if she were skinny. There's always going to be some percentage of body shaming comments. She should appreciate that she's alive. Still, no need for people to be mean just because.

No she didn't deserve it.

If you watch videos of people falling into lakes and rivers, especially icy ones....the reaction and aftermath are typically the same.

They get so winded struggling to swim, make it across or even stay afloat that by the time help is there, they've exhausted there energy, lactic acid builds up and they can't do anything.

It don't matter if your 115 or 215, that shyt is rough on anyone trying to save you.

This could be her rock bottom, motivation to drop some lbs. But it's not rational to pretend there's some magical weight that someone can nearly drown at and someone can just go scoop them up like :manny:

Above the fray.
I never understood why it’s acceptable to joke on a dudes height (something he can’t change and was born with) but yet joking on a women’s weight is off limits despite the fact that they can change it at anytime.

There's a modern day term that explains/justifies this double standard, punching down.
It's okay to pick on people who are high on the social scale. Making the same kind of comments about a person from a group that is lower on the scale is termed punching down and viewed as bullying.
Fat women are lower on the social scale, so Al Bundy and No Ma'am would be no go in 2022.

Interestingly enough, you can still get away with making comments about fat men.

Being a bbw is all fun and games until they fishing your big ass out the water like a wounded manatee.

No.

But I don't even think they should have highlighted the fact she was body shamed.
