in the mainstream use it has turned from an insult reactionary to “fat people who live in their basement” to literally any person over the weight of I don’t know 80 kilograms.

Kind of like how Karen devolved into an insult towards women.

    I think there has been some level of deliberate effort from reactionaries to dilute its meaning so it’s not a politically communicative insult anymore. This could have happened on its own, I just get the impression from the way I see some conservatives use it that they are doing it deliberately.
