SHAME ON YOU
Re “Paige Spiranac fat-shamed by male social media trolls” (Brad Hunter, Sept. 16): It’s actually appalling how individuals really feel the necessity to disgrace somebody for his or her physique. I fully agree with Spiranac deleting these feedback as a result of not solely can the feedback have an effect on her confidence, however as a star, she has thousands and thousands of followers, together with younger ladies. As these younger ladies view the feedback about Spiranac’s physique, they may possible really feel insecure themselves. As a golfer who additionally repeatedly works to take care of her weight, she is already fairly skinny, and for many individuals it isn’t simple to be like that. Her younger viewers could also be vulnerable to creating extraordinarily unrealistic physique requirements for themselves as a result of even Spiranac’s physique appears too “huge” for these trolls. Actually, even when, because the article said, Spiranac gained just a little weight, why care a lot to gang up on her and disgrace her? It appears web trolls are keen to tear aside each slight imperfection in a girl’s physique, issues that one would by no means discover or say out loud in individual. It’s extremely disappointing to see ladies being shamed for his or her our bodies. I hope that Paige Spiranac can bounce again on her personal confidence and that younger viewers don’t get negatively influenced upon seeing such feedback.
