This (not) just in: people on the Internet can really suck.
Fitness blogger and personal trainer Cassey Ho knows this the hard way.
In a moving, very well-produced viral video titled "The Perfect Body," Ho alters herself in various ways, all in response to online criticism of her body.
"In this video, you will experience what it feels like to be constantly bombarded with outrageous negativity," Ho wrote in a blog entry introducing the footage.
"You will see what it looks like to have your self-esteem stripped away. You will read real comments left by real people. You will see me struggle with my own appearance."
The video features Ho slimming her waist, boosting her breast size and changing the color of her eyes, all of which were (not so kindly) suggested to her by users of the Internet.
"So what if I changed?" Ho wrote. "What if I had a slimmer waist and a bigger butt? Would everyone be happy then? What if I lived in a world where I could photoshop my body in real life? Would I be happy then?"
Unfortunately for Ho, who works as a personal trainer, others in her profession have been the ones recently accused of fat-shaming.
Remember when Maria Kang got into hot water for asking mothers what there excuse is for not being in shape?
