If my interpretation is correct, it appears the problem lies not with Leni but with other people (the people that don't view fat attraction as a notion that's been widely accepted). If that is the case, then that makes for an interesting picture on the fandom. On one hand, people praise the show for being "silently progressive", in that it normalizes LGBT and Down Syndrome characters. But on the other hand, other progressive issues (such as fat attraction) remain such a novelty to these people that they can't help but make it a much bigger deal than the show does (then again, they do the same thing to the other forms of representation that they applaud the show for not bringing attention by BY DRAWING ATTENTION TO IT).

Unfortunately, it remains to be seen what will become of their relationship. Maybe Leni will encounter obstacles once she gets involved in romance, like being oblivious to various customs associated with romance, however I still think the show itself is doing itself a lot of favors by normalizing fat attraction (even if a lot of fans don't).
