In a post on AITA, a woman shared her experience of calling out her boyfriend's fat-shaming in front of his friends. Her boyfriend had made a disgusted comment about "desperate fat chicks" on Tinder, prompting her to snap and ask him how he could criticize overweight women when he himself is obese.

While her boyfriend was hurt by her comment and is currently considering whether or not to forgive her, many Redditors are applauding her for standing up to his body-shaming behavior. The post has generated a heated debate on the topic, with some arguing that she was justified in calling him out, while others believe that she went too far.

Read on for the full story and let us know - was she the a**hole in this situation?
