"I'm not fat, i'm big-boned!", the topic.
It is not the word "fat" that brings a stigma to obese people, it is obesity that attaches a stigma to the word "fat".
Even if you somehow collectively agree to get society to stop using the word, the stigma will just carry over to the new word or phrase.
I'm big boned is suggesting that there isn't an issue. Cartman says that to avoid talking about his issues with weight and blame his bone structure. Also that still not using person first
language.
Saying some is carrying more weight still highlights there is an issue. But the person isn't the issue. They are just dealing with it.
