METRO NYC holds ‘Fat Beach Day’ to create accepting environment for plus-size community: ‘A space for people to be themselves’

“Fat Beach Day” events are appearing across the United States, aiming to create spaces for the plus-size community to gather — including one Saturday in Far Rockaway.

“We’re going through something culturally that is impacting us every day on an individual level and a systemic level,” Jordan Underwood, the event organizer told the Guardian. “We’re really trying to open up a space for people to be themselves.”

“I’m so self-conscious at the beach, and I’m never around people that look like me,” Emma Zack, who started Berriez in 2018, told the outlet. “I’m excited we’ve created this space for folks with bigger bodies to have a good time.”

“It’s a really sh–ty time, not just on the internet but in society, to be fat, and it feels really violent in a lot of ways,” Zack said. “You’d think it wouldn’t be such a thing because New York is so open, and you dress however you want. I always say I never realized how much people hate fat people until I got TikTok.”

a space for people to be themselves

An exceptionally large space for fat people to be their fat selves.

People hate fatsos because they demand special treatment for having no self control. Nobody wants your fat ass next to them on a plane or a bus.

I’d rather not make fun of folks out there who are good folks, but perhaps not sex magnets. Let’s think of sleazy, immoral, dishonest, and also fat and ugly - fugly. Let’s think of the Hillabeast and Nancy P out there on that beach.

Now, THAT’s hurl factor.

They need the space of an aircraft carrier deck so they can spread out and feel comfortable

I still remember about 25 years ago a friend invited me to join her and her daughters at the neighborhood pool to introduce me to her single friends and neighbors. There was one woman with many, many rolls of fat, wearing a bikini and I was left asking myself if she had the bikini on the right rolls. Ugh!

Let me be insensitive but real.

Wouldn’t that cause the waters in the oceans and lakes to rise, which is one of the repercussions from climate-change that environmentalists warn us about?

Don’t want Florida to sink, do we??
