I think it is more of presenting a choice.

Do you want to be fit and slim? Take the stairs.

Do you want to be fat? Take the escalator.

Anyone know what the speech bubble says?

it's not any less problematic if that's the case because it still assumes people taking the escalator do it because they want to, rather than having like a limp or something. that sort of normalized stigma isn't good.

Yeah, fuck me for using a cane, I'm such a big fat fatty and want to be fat.
