Celebrity fitness instructor Cassey Ho photoshopped herself in this video to show the absurd ideals we have for women's bodies.
I love this video. In addition to the social commentary about women's bodies, the use of CGI to simulate real-life photoshopping is incredible. Cassy Ho is a fitness instructor and social media phenomenon who deals with a lot of negative backlash from insecure Internet dum-dums.
A "perfect" female body means having a large chest, a big butt, and zero body fat. Since fatty tissue is what makes up both appendages, this body type is not possible unless you are a character in Grand Theft Auto, or you've been plasticly surgerized.
Everyone is obsessed with voicing their unwanted opinion about women's bodies. Whether it's a creepy catcalling dude or a spiteful Instagram troll, sometimes it feels impossible to bear the burden of your blood and guts being housed in a woman skin-suit.
Cassey Ho's fitness inspired body positivity is exactly what we need right now. She even got meta and posted comments she received in response to her photoshopped body:
These comments reinforce why she made the video in the first place. Good things are happening though! I mean, if supermodels are showing their stretch marks, we're on the right track.
