Hilariously this is actually anti-disability. Many people have mobility issues without needing a wheelchair all the time, and really benefit from having places to sit. Removing a seat removes that option.

As a person without a physical disability who is not homeless I also appreciate somewhere where I could lie down to have a rest sometimes. I honestly think this kind of thing is to the detriment of every single citizen.
Psst 🤫
You don’t need anti-homeless architecture if you fix your society
(Every human has a right for housing and food in my opinion, labour should be for luxury, not survival)
I mean. Even in our existing, shit-ass, crazy-pants society we don't really need this shit.
Haha, classic newbie blunder! You think it's better to spend money on fixing the problem, instead of making money on redesigning public architecture? Haha, oh my!
Idk about the last Part but the Rest Yes absolutely
Lies! Anti-homeless this may be, but this bench was also created with the VERY noble intention of facilitating wheelchair-bound men to receive a handjob from two women at once!
It's 2026, Finjamin. The handjob could also be given by two men! Or a man and a woman. Or a nonbinary person and a woman. Or...
But not two disabled people. Alas, this bench discriminates.
Bro that's so ableist, getting jerked off by two people with Parkinson's is a thing.
We call it double foxing.
Mentally disabled, or physically?
Three wheelchair users could give double-handjobs to two seated men.
So the bench design still has you beat.
It's IMPECCABLE (im-pecker-ble), no slander that you level at this piece of ingenious public infrastructure will ever stick.
I can't cum unless I have six different wheelchair users jerking me off and fingering my various holes. Still not accessible.
INSTALL THE PIT OF GENDER NEUTRAL HANDJOBS!
Unless it’s the wheelchair user dual wielding.

We’re in 2026 now, you can get two flawless robot whatevers to blowjob you.
The xSlut by Elon Musk is on hold after several dicks were bitten off during testing. What's that? Nevermind I just received word that they're moving to immediate deployment.

Hmm. I’m seeing the person in the wheelchair giving two handjobs to people on the seats. I think they used to call this skiing.
Well, I’m sold. Except for the “women” part.
Two guys could give just as good a hand job…

Why did you choose this way round? Surely a wheelchair-bound women taking ski lessons would be more common!

PARK THE FUCKING WHEELCHAIR NEXT TO THE BENCH! This has to be a trolling photoshop
If this were real, consider how it would come to be. It's obvious that even if we pretend it's for accessibility purposes, it's worse than just pulling up beside the bench because now you have to deal with backing into the spot.
But what if it's more nefarious than that? No budget to put in new benches with spikes or whatever built in. But maybe there's room in the budget for "accessibility upgrades". Maybe a ramp was sacrificed for this idiocy.
If this were real, consider how it would come to be.
This is real. It's located in Giulianova Lido, Italy. IIRC an arts project from a local school and it is meant as a way to "integrate" wheelchairs symbolically as well as practically.
as well as practically.
X doubt.
This is worse than nothing, because (as a wheelchair user) there’s like 10 inches of clearance behind the chair (given wheel clearance). That back rail means you can’t back up to get yourself in line with your compatriots,so you’ll be in front of and misaligned with the people on either side, such that they’re literally talking behind your back.
If this design was in earnest, it’s godawful and just shows the designer had no idea what they were doing.
If it’s an art project, then I can appreciate it. If it was meant to be practical, it’s a major fail.
It's a single installation, AFAIK - and definitely an art project. Having some academic arts background, I dare to say the focus of the installation is the difference between "in the middle" and "aside". So it's highly symbolic. Practically two chairs with a reasonable gap inbetween would be far more practical but they, of course, don't transmit any message.

The obvious response to this is to guerilla install regular benches, but put wheelchair legs on the legs so we can roll sleeping homeless men into bank lobbies.
"That disabled person stole your ~~cookie~~ seat"
"That ~~disabled person~~ company stole your ~~cookie~~ ~~seat~~ bed"
At this point surely you could just have two individual chairs spaced about that far apart and slightly angled towards eachother. Still anti homeless but also at least a better user experience for, for lack of a better term, intended users.
Probably cheaper than the weird bench and more plausible deniability.
This is literally the illustration of most things within the world. The corporations/governments rather muddy the waters than actually do what has to be done.
Praise is given for effectively doing a cheap act of "niceness" that is more harmful in the long run. It is a method of deceiving the public, and taking advantage of a minority to precisely execute their evil intentions.
In this case, disability is one thing, but age and other factors are also used as a leverage point.
there, I fixed it.
Shadow 404.
Ok, ok...
here you go.
it's perfect now.
Close, but it is floating on one side.
That's just how benches work
Thank you clearing that up for me.
Anytime, Carl.
And how exactly would one even back a wheelchair into that? Wheelchairs have backrests already, so you'd just hit the backrest of this bench before being on the same line as the other people sitting on it.
I mean, as an actual disabled person... By just like, backing up to it?
There are a few comments about this and I'm like, yeah it's stupid as fuck, but that's not even what they are pointing out, it's like they can't grasp the concept of a wheelchair backing up. I don't want to be around when they pull into a parking spot and then can't drive forward out of it...
And while I agree that this seems more nefarious than anything, you (everyone in this thread) GREATLY overestimates the brainpower that goes into actual accessibility 'features'. Put escalators front and center, but I have to take the service elevator? Put 1,000 hotel rooms, but only 5 are made for accessibility? Your store has a wheelchair ramp, all the fuck at the end of the building near the loading docks? Your store has electric carts, but not enough for all your disabled customers. You don't have enough employees to help me load my purchase, so I have to hurt myself. Shit, even paving walkways, in fucking modular concrete squares, suck ass: when (not if) the front wheels get stuck, especially if I'm being pushed, my ass gets launched.
It sucks ass being disabled, but god damn it's like the dumbest people get assigned to accessibility planning.

It would look better, allow for easier access, and be cheaper if the bars connecting the two park… chairs were simply not there.
It is also hostile to the ambulatory disabled. Taking away a seat they could rest on.
