Yes, that is what's happening. Did you even see the full video of Maher talking about this? The whole "fat shaming" line was one small part of a much larger conversation about obesity and healthcare.

Please explain how that's a straw man. That's literally what tons of people do now. They cry fat-shaming as soon as obesity is even brought up.

PLEASE enlighten me.
I think you are missing the point.
Watch the whole video. Maybe you still think it's not funny, or a bit mean-spirited, but what do you expect from Maher? It doesn't change the legitimacy of what he's saying.
