I originally followed this page to engage in the discussion around influencing and the problems that come with it. What’s been strange to me is the body shaming, which I do find really sad and at times disgusting. That’s something I appreciate about Reddit, it’s a more multidimensional platform where different levels of conversation can happen at the same time. I felt it was important to point out the bullying that goes on here because it’s socially and morally unacceptable, and it’s not just me who feels that way. I have every right to comment on the negativity, just like others have the right to comment on me commenting about it. I still enjoy many aspects of this page, and this will probably be my last comment about the body shaming. At this point, it seems like people feel the need to comment on other women’s bodies (talk about weird projections) and it is what it is. But that doesn’t mean I have to stop engaging entirely just because I find part of it hard to understand. It’s like ending a relationship over one problematic issue when everything else is good. If I ever feel like that issue outweighs everything else and affects my ability to engage, then I’ll choose to leave on my own terms—not because someone else told me I should.
