It’s not that easy for everyone. People’s metabolism works in different ways and genetics is also a huge factor. I have a friend who eats roughly the same as me and regularly goes to the gym while I don’t, and still weighs like 40kg more.

Plus, even when metabolism isn’t the issue, a lot of those people have eating disorders and shaming them for that isn’t cool.

"Fat" means high body fat percentage, not just "weighs a lot".

People with lots of muscle are categorized as obese with the regular BMI formulas, but that obviously doesn't apply to them.

Telling people with eating disorders that everything's fine is even worse. Also, if your friend eats properly and works out they're not fat, they're heavy, noone is making fun of those. They might not let you into the club tomorrow.

Yeah but mostly it's just lazy fucks who guzzle soda and don't bother exercising.
