German SPD's Andrea Nahles victim of pop-political phenomenon of celebrity “fat-shaming”

Fat shaming got the best of her

Shaping the Body Politic: Mass Media Fat-Shaming Affects Implicit Anti-Fat Attitudes

"... we investigated the effect of transient, but salient, cultural messages — the pop-cultural political phenomenon of celebrity “fat-shaming” — on implicit anti-fat attitudes (among voters). Adopting the “copycat suicide” methodology, we identified 20 fat-shaming events in the media ... As predicted, fat-shaming led to a spike in women’s implicit anti-fat attitudes (in the populace), with events of greater notoriety producing greater spikes (of nausea). We also observed a general increase in implicit anti-fat attitudes over time. Although these passing comments may appear harmless, we show that feedback at the cultural (and political) level can be registered by the “body politic.”

In other words, the socialist bitch and her party lost big time.
