@jegga i know you are constantly trying to be outraged, but I'm not sure what she's done wrong here. It looks an awful lot like someone at the Herald was reading instagram and wrote an article about her post, rather than the woman going to the media. There are no quotes from an interview, they all appear to be from her instagram page. Direct your hate straight at the Herald for deciding this was a story they could print.

@mariner4life it seems like every other day there's a story about fat shaming, the nets a pretty cruel place and I don't think it's perticularly newsworthy she was targeted by trolls. There was a story yesterday about the family of s seven year old who was killed on a Quad bike being trolled because he wasn't wearing a helmet . Some people have no shame , I'm not sure drawing more attention to them is the best option for dealing with someone who obviously wants notoriety in the first place.

It's not newsworthy (the woman in question may feel the same).
People really are complete fuckwits. Who the fuck writes horrible shit on someone's wedding photos? Someone they don't even know?
And before i am accused of blatant hypocrisy, i think there is a massive difference between us calling someone a whale on here, and actually seeking out their photos to say it directly to them.

Often this trolling is just people pointing out the obvious

@mariner4life social media has changed people. Despite in the case of FB where most post under their own name, it makes people feel much braver than they do in real life and say some downright nasty shit, and to random unknown people!
I do try to only post stuff that I would say to someones face (although in some cases, I know I wouldn't have said it as I wouldn't have thought of it quick enough as I often see something on FB and 10mins later I think, oh shit I should say that) and even then I still don't as I know this person is their friend and they are an oversensitive fluffybunny who will take offence, and I really cant be arsed with the fallout...
I remember a few years back, my eldest fell off a quadbike, it rolled, he was lucky to only break his collarbone...I happened to be filming it, and posted it on FB. One of my friends made a humourous comment, then one of my mums friends who I was FB friends with that we knew well cos she was also their neighbour, started ranting at my friend about his comment. So I deleted her comments...although I know she would have said it in real life too...

She has no shame. She's the one trolling posting pictures of herself on the internet in a swimsuit making statements like 'It makes no difference on you as a person or certainly on how attractive you are.' She should be given a train ticket to my weight loss camp:

Least she's not gender fluid, popping into the men's toilet and saying " I've got a cock bitches"
Can't help feel there's a lot out there that like to get attention hope to get bad attention knowing they will be viewed as victims. Hence they then get even more attention, not too mention more hits and subscribers to their shit blog or YouTube channel.

@Virgil I've got some German chick in my YouTube channel recommendations. She's mildly hot but most of her videos appear to to stream of consciousness diatribes about her time in the army her tattoos and ideas about feminism . I would like to know how YouTubes algorithm got from me watching Roadkill and Dirt every day to suggesting I might like to watch that shit.

My guess it has something to do with the three key words "German", "chick" and "stream", which is no doubt related to your nocturnal viewing preferences.

Who checks the instructions on a candle? Clearly not this smart ass.
A scientist known as "Nanogirl" lashed out on social media after a candle exploded, sending glass flying through the air.

the Neverending story...I see the 'opinion piece' author has responded to a couple of comments too.
-
@taniwharugby What did she hope to get out of this? Her decision could have been enacted without telling a single soul.
-
@antipodean we live in an age where it's not enough to silently protest. People feel obligated to rant and show their disgust and moral outrage at every single opportunity.
-
@antipodean not how people roll, she probably posts pictures of her dinner and comments like 'worst day ever' or 'so sad' on her social media...pure speculation of course, she may be a perfectly sane and reasonable person.

This post is deleted!
