The post sparked an immediate and intense discussion, accumulating thousands of comments.

Some commenters expressed even harsher views. “If you are this large, you need to buy two seats, OR airlines should offer oversized seats at an extra cost. Plain and simple,” one user wrote. Another added, “The reason the majority of large people are that size is not medical, it’s due to personal choices. And choices have consequences.”
