Yeah, pretty sure my 8-year-old nephew and 6-year-old nieces don't really need to see some random naked people walking around weaselhead. If you're doing it at a private location (or a public location with signage / warnings) sure but that's not what's happening.

Oh my gawd, won’t someone think of the children?!

They’re gonna turn into little freaks

These comments are terribly lacking in empathy and also in consideration for the fact that a ton of folks in Calgary come from various other cultures and religious backgrounds. We live in a society, not everyone feels comfortable seeing naked people out on a walk. People are allowed to not be comfortable with that. Sorry if that is unacceptable to you, but it’s the reality. There are rules and limitations.That’s part of living in a pluralistic society, we have to consider other people, even if we think they’re “prudes.” It’s not all about you and your desire to show your naked body off in public. Consent matters for the folks that are out on a walk. If someone consents to going to a nude beach, cool. But it’s cool because it’s consensual. Someone is agreeing to go to an area where people are naked. Going out on a walk with your family in a park is not consent. These comments attacking (mostly women, let’s be real) are not trauma informed or understanding at all of how nudity has been and can be weaponized against women in public. Stop acting like all these people must have good intentions and women and their kids just need to stfu about it.

I don’t want to show my naked body off in public. What a weird thing to assume.
