Jacob Riis Beach hosts the day of body positivity and fun, in the city at the heart of the fat acceptance movement

Fat Beach Day events are springing up across the US in an effort to fight back against fat-phobia, reclaim safe spaces for the community and honor plus-size culture. Today, one of these celebrations is being held to coincide with Pride month at Jacob Riis Beach in New York, a location deeply ensconced in the city’s activism space.

People in this comment section being shining examples of why some fat people would feel uncomfortable at the beach.

Too many of them think protecting these folks from bullying and harassment on one beach for one day is some kind of threat to civilization. Typical moral panic.

Too many of them think that you can bully a fat person into losing weight.

They’re all completely in control of their weight, and clearly waiting for just the right arrogant condemnation to make a change. /s

Definitely not an environmental problem at all.

Fat-shaming is definitely an issue across the political spectrum, unfortunately.

May well be, but I saw comments like "This is how the left loses voters", and generally the pointless mean-spirited bigotry does come from the right

This users left Reddit but Reddit never left the users.

The Venn diagram between people commenting here and people going to beaches is probably just two circles not touching at all.
