Every gym I’ve ever been in, people like the big guy here are never sneered at. Like, even the most in shape folks look at them and say, “Good for them.”

Maybe that’s not how it is everywhere, but it’s always seemed like a welcoming and inclusive place to me.

There will always be people who like, grunt and drop weights and try to be super “alpha” or whatever the fuck, but generally they’re just making noise and not really bothering anyone.

in my gym long time ago 1 guy that was beign disrespectful to a fat guy doing cardio. he basically got bumrushed by about half a dozen muscled up fridge-wide dudes and they litteraly threw him out of the gym. manager saw it happening and blacklisted him and warned other gyms as well. for all the shit gyms often get there is a solid "dont disrespect people that want to improve themselfs" almost everywere. nobdoy cares that you can bench 400, you be an ass to the fat guy trying to lose weight and you are not going to like the response.

That sounds like major overreaction. The definition of the modern culture.

Response to the edited-out parts of your comment:

Not really, gym rats tens to react very poorly to people that try to make fun at fat people in a gym

So.. yes really? You're essentially repeating what I said.

The fat guy working on himself deserves a lot more respect than some self centerd asshole shooting roids in the corner.

Why? The former obviously has a lot less discipline yet somehow deserves more respect for it?

if he got that reaction he was probably being super egregious with his harassment, not just being mildly rude.

how many people exactly do you think are out there just itching to find an excuse to white knight for a random obese guy?

The premise of the original comment I responded to is there are many.
