"I'm not attracted to fat people" would be different, because if people aren't attracted to something, that doesn't necessarily mean anything. But I think I'd still be leery of that, too, because although I don't think we know what shapes any given preference, I do think that there are some prevailing social messages that fat = undesirable, and that "I'm not attracted to fat people" is pretty universalizing. None of them? No matter what? Seriously?
(I feel the same when I hear white folks I know say they're "just not into" Black people -- yeah, it's conceivable that someone's Just Not Attracted To Non-European Noses, sure, but it's also quite possible that they wouldn't be so repulsed if they didn't live in a society that associated white features with beauty.)
I think it's most likely, though, that anon wasn't specifying her preferences up there so much as citing a particular stereotype of a sexist guy who doesn't get out much (and that's where the "fat" comes from -- the idea of lack of activity.) That's less likely to be about plain old fatphobia -- it's more about citing a stereotype. But I thought it might be worthwhile to mention that that stereotype's got something a little screwed up in it, too. (Not only the "fat = repulsive" thing, but also the assumption that people are fat due to not getting out much, and that people who don't get out much are fat -- some are, sure, because being sedentary's part of it for a lot of people, but there are skinny slovenly repulsive layabouts, too.)

And I got what you meant about "deserving" - sort of like, they think that fat people deserve to live in celibacy in penance for their sin of being fat.
