You think it'd be ok in school for example for one kid to call another a disgusting fat pig because "they're just being honest"? Or in the work place, one employee calling another an ugly bitch cos she has red hair? No, that would be bullying, what Katie is doing is exactly the same but on a different platform

I think you've taken this a little out of context - I don't think she randomly goes around saying people are ugly, fat or disrespecting anybody. From what I can see she is simply voicing her opinions (she doesn't find red hair attractive, she thinks tattoos are awful, she thinks unemployed people are lazy) but people only take offense because she is extremely vocal about it. Also, judging by her fat story, she wants people to be aware of their size and help them do something about it before it goes too far (in the case of children especially, their parents should be notified etc instead of not addressing the problems). Plus the amount of abuse Katie receives herself on a daily basis could technically be 'bullying' if you put it like that.
