Summer is rough for fat bodies. No, it’s not because of the heat. It’s not because of chub rub and sweat. Frankly, it’s because of assholes.

Every year there’s some form of fatphobic comment that circles the internet or media. Last year, it was a comment by Oprah Winfrey’s O Magazine. This year, it has been an infamous tweet circling social media.

"how can u walk out of the house with a crop top knowing ur fat & nobody wanna see that?”

In a world full of hatred, pain, and suffering often encouraged by the highest ranking person in the US, people still think that the worst thing in the world that you can be is visibly fat. Not only do they hold this opinion, but they are often incredibly vocal about it.

Instead of allowing themselves to be hurt, fat and curve babes across the internet responded by taking photos of themselves in crop tops showing the world exactly how one walks out of the house — with their heads held tall, facing the fatphobic world dead on with their middle fingers in the air.

Check out these crop top babes who refuse to be held back by fatphobic remarks.
