What is hogging?

As 2021 draws to close, let’s discuss a word which has become more and more widespread in the United States at the end of the year. This contemptible practice was called out by young woman Megan Mapes on TikTok in October 2021. She had herself been a victim of hogging in an American college. The sexist and fat phobic ritual has caught on in some fraternities in the US. Male students compete to have sex with the establishment’s fattest girls, simply for their own amusement and as part of a twisted challenge. Some frat boys boast to their peers about having sex with an overweight girl when it happens. There have even been occasions when they have come into the bedroom while the act is happening, to harass and mock the victim. Are these students fat fetishists then? And why are we hearing about hogging now? Have there been other instances of hogging? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
