Comedian Gives It Back To Fat Shamers and Trolls Online

Troll body shames comedian Supriya Joshi. Her comeback will leave you in awe.

Finding your face on a viral meme can be a uncomfortable for a regular Joe, but for a famous comedian it’s just another day at work.

Comedian and writer Supriya Joshi, who works for AIB, is well aware of this occupational hazard. But she knows how to distinguish a joke from a what is a blatant case of body shaming.

Supriya did not hold back and came out against the meme

Calling me fat is not funny, you're literally telling me what I look like. I have a mirror. I see it every day and love who I'm seeing in it

Through a tweet storm, she tried to drill some sense into those who take pride in their fat jokes

Traditionally, fat women like myself have served as the punchline for almost every joke imaginable.

Media has dictated that a body like mine is not a normal body, therefore it is hideous and demands to be made fun of.

As a woman, she has faced an ugly amount of hate and trolling

Another additional layer (pardon the pun) to this is that along with being fat, I am also a woman.

I receive vicious and vile comments on my Instagram pictures, on my Instagram lives and I am also tagged on so many memes such as this one.

But I will not shut up. I will still put myself out there. Because if I shut up and hide, I will let the haters win.

Lastly, Supriya reached out to those who, like her, have been a victim of body shaming and have a hard time loving themselves.

It has taken me a lifetime to love my body, and I will not let the small mindedness of a few misguided people take that away from me.

Before I end this thread, I just want to say something I say at the end of every Insta live I do: You are beautiful & have no physical flaws

— Supriya (@supaarwoman) July 10, 2017

Please continue to love yourself and others around you.

End thread.

We couldn’t agree more, Supriya!
