The Plus Size Park Hoppers are a threat, but not for the reasons trolls think. They’re not ruining society. They’re ruining the illusion that joy belongs only to the thin, the filtered, and the fearful.

A fat woman laughing at Disney World is more dangerous to the patriarchy than a hundred angry tweets. She’s not selling shame. She’s not asking permission. She’s just living. And apparently, that’s too much for the fragile egos hiding behind anonymous usernames and gym memes.

This isn’t about health. It never was. It’s about control. The internet doesn't melt down because someone ate a donut. It melts down because someone enjoyed it without begging for forgiveness.

So to the Park Hoppers: keep hopping, keep filming, keep rating every bite like it's a sacred rite. You are not the problem. You are the mirror.
