Cassey Ho

I found this video by Cassey Ho to be moving. Some people said she was too fat, so she made a video in response.

I saw it earlier this week, I found it very moving.

Wow and Yikes. That was a very startling video. Kudos to her for a creative and effective response.

On what planet could she possibly be considered fat?

Really. Who are these people who feel free to post comments like that. It is really sad that people can be so hurtful.
Love the new Lane Bryant ad. I'm no angel. Very clever.

I guess there are some people who inexplicably think that she is fat. However, I wonder how many of the people posting those negative comments are just trolls. They are probably just pathetic, angry people with empty lives who have nothing better to do but attack others anonymously online. She is a fitness instructor so the easy thing to do is to attack her by criticizing her body.

That makes me very sad. I saw a photograph of her earlier this week, and I wondered if it had been photoshopped, but I didn't think she would do that. Maybe it was all part of this. I hope she reads this thread and realizes that her main audience thinks she is just fine and no need for any fancy photoshop work. Sheesh.

So sad what the internet has become. I too hope she realizes how ridiculous those anonymous trolls are and that she is a very fit and inspiring fitness instructor.

I'm convinced that 99% of the people who post negative/inflammatory comments on YouTube, Yahoo, CNN, HuffPost, etc. are 12-year-olds sitting alone in their room and honing their nasty/sarcastic skills for the tribulations of middle school. Or drunk loser frat boys doing the same thing and hoping to get a rise out of someone to "engage" in an online exchange of insults. For that reason, I've stopped reading web comments sections; the nastiness is toxic. I'm sure Cassey is reading comments for genuine feedback from exercisers and it's unfortunate that she has to wade through the mindless viciousness too.
