Recently, a man was publicly embarrassed by a pastor who refused to anoint him because he hadn’t bought oil from the church. The situation was further worsened when an Instagram user commented, “But why his head come resemble bicycle’s seat???”. This comment exemplifies the harmful effects of online body shaming.
Such remarks can severely impact a person’s self-esteem and mental health. They not only demean the individual but also contribute to a culture of cruelty and disrespect. Addressing and discouraging such behavior is crucial. We need to foster kindness and empathy both online and offline, ensuring that ridicule and mockery have no place in our interactions.
