Why are people criticized for their body types?

I feel it's because society has turn more apathetic instead of sympathetic and understanding. No matter where we go, everyone that isn't a sheep (majority) following a shepherd (leader or most popular decision) will be judged. Whether it be religion, race, etc., it's a cruel world nowadays. It really angers me on how society has begun to morph into something it dislikes. Granted, not everyone is like this, but it still generally upsets me.

For this issue, I think it's both the apathetic nature and us as humans being judgmental. While not everyone, some look for the negatives in a person to bully them into hurting themselves. It's a psychological environment of destruction in a way, to shatter emotions to better our lives. By doing that, it makes people feel superior to those who have disadvantages. That's what I believe in why that happens.

Also, quick quote because Rocky Balboa perfectly summarizes it: "The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows, it's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are, it'll beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it." Rocky Balboa (movie)
