Instagram Model Digitally Alters Her Looks to Make a Point About Body-Shaming

It seems that for every kind-hearted, innocent soul browsing the internet, there's a malevolent troll looking to wreak havoc for everyone else. Why do they do it? There are surely a plethora of reasons, which range from a desire for attention to a sense of lowered inhibition that accompanies the web's relative anonymity. Often, women on the internet become troll's favorite targets, having their intelligence, bodies, and opinions criticized and belittled for no reason.


To make a point about how trolls treat others online, body-positive Instagram model Chessie King partnered with Cybersmile, an anti-cyberbullying organization, to produce a new video:

In the video, King is happy with her body, but trolls swoop in with lots of advice on how she might improve it. With the help of photoshop, she continues to post pictures of herself taking the trolls advice. The results are equal parts horrifying and illuminating. It becomes clear the trolls have no actual interest in what King's body looks like—they simply want to make her feel bad and ugly.

Chessie's Instagram is centered around body positivity.

She encourages realistic body types and encourages people to distance themselves from trends and ideals that don't make them happy.

King captioned the video by saying:

If we changed our body for every troll, listened to every cyber bully, we would be monsters. Whether you have 23 followers or 3 million, NO ONE should have to deal with regular hate online.

In order for this trend to work, the person has to poke a hole into each end of the egg to drain it of its yolk and let the shell dry, so it becomes more brittle and easy to crush, making the prank more believable.

Guy Sparks Debate After Abandoning Girlfriend In Economy While He Booked Himself A First Class Seat On Flight

It's really hard to watch while someone is clearly not being treated well enough by their partner, and instead of accepting the reality check for what it is, they spend their time digging their heels in deeper and defending their partner's honor.

That was certainly true for TikToker Nicole Vawter, or @nicmarievee, anyway, when fellow TikTokers called her partner out on selfishly booking himself a first class seat while his long-time girlfriend sat back in economy.

Guy Sparks Modern Dating Debate With His Unhinged Texts To Woman Who Turned Him Down For Second Date

You know what they say: if a person has to point out how nice they are, they probably aren't really all that nice.

Actions tend to speak louder than words, with an affinity for niceness and kindness being among the best examples. When a person is truly nice and kind, it will come through in their daily attitude and actions without them having to say anything at all.
