This Girl's Response To Being Told She Needs To "F**king Lose Weight" Is EVERYTHING
As much as we love social media, one of the major pitfalls is it gives bullies who don't even know you the ability to send you mean, offensive messages. And in YouTuber Christina Topacio's case, those messages came in the form of unsolicited body advice from a man she didn't know over Facebook.
Christina posts fun pictures regularly on her social media accounts showing off her flawless style. Seriously, she's got serious style skillz.
But earlier this week, one of her Facebook friends (who she didn't know personally, mind you) contacted her, saying there was something he desperately needed to tell her.
How nice. He thinks she's beautiful. What could possibly be the "something that makes her never want to talk to him again"? Well, let's just say things get ~weird~ from there.
Wow. There's just so much wrong with this message. The fact that this guy (who will henceforth be referred to as Jerkface) loves everything about Christina, but still felt the need to share this body-shaming advice he was "positive" Christina already knew in order to "effect change", is so appalling, we don't even know what to say. But Jerkface actually put it best when Christina responded by totally not caring about his opinion:
Yes, you are superficial and a self-important jerkface. Sadly, you couldn't think of that before you sent Christina an extremely hurtful, not to mention completely unsolicited message about her body (which is perfect and gorgeous as is, for the record).
Luckily, Christina is totally confident in her own skin and wasn't going to let Jerkface's comments make her feel any differently about herself. The amazing YouTuber responded in the most flawless way ever — by calling on the power of Chipotle.
YASSSS!
Christina shared the whole exchange on Twitter and the post went instantly viral, raking up thousands of retweets and replies from users telling her that she is absolutely beautiful and doesn't need to change.
Looks like Christina is moving on from this horrible body-shaming experience with the entire Twitterverse on her side. Her AWESOME response will no doubt inspire other girls to shake off the haters, too. Christina FTW!
