I somewhat don't agree that shaming people is wrong, either. Shaming people shouldn't be done for reasons of cruelty, malice, or to make the shamer feel better about themselves, but mockery has its place. The idea that everyone has the right to believe what they want and be who they want to be without criticism is ridiculous.

So, really, fat-shaming is wrong because it almost never proceeds from a genuine desire to change behaviour, it's just an excuse for thinner people to feel good about themselves for not being fat, or to try to exercise control and dominance.
