*super hug* You're gorgeous, shush ^u^ And you're really quite small O_O I should hunt whoever called you fat and give the ice cream... And not a good flavor, either. Something like... something that tastes like mud! Or chicken pot pie. Which don't get me wrong, chicken pot pie is delicious! But could you imagine ice cream- something that's supposed to be sweet and desserty -tasting like chicken and gravy and peas and stuff???

Wait >.> Why did you cry? What did I miss O_O Was it happy cry? Or like... O_O idk... Mnyeh. I bet you're gorgeous and people just pick on you because they want you to feel bad so they can step above you. One of my favorite quotes... I can't find the verbatim right now, but I'll give you a paraphrase O_O It is something to the effect of:
People don't put you down because they think you have no power. They see that power and they're afraid of it, and they put you down so that you yourself cannot recognize your own power.

(The quote is way better)[DOUBLEPOST=1436481922][/DOUBLEPOST]

Oh yes It was a happy cry! :D made me realise that there was nothing wrong with me, and this wasn't going to be something I had to put up with for the rest of my life. and from then on I've only made more great friends, and never heard a bad word spoken about my looks again. it was so refreshing :)

and that quote is fab! and I guess its the kind of world we live in that lots of people will push others down so they can get higher in life, its a sad reality, but there will always be good people that shine through :) like all of you here!

That's a relief :) I thought it was a different circumstance. I'm so glad you got to a positive and supportive atmosphere :) Things can only get better from here ^u^

And yah. I mean... the rules of society seem to dictate that in order to be above somebody, you have to be above somebody. That is to say... You have to put them below you. But I'd like to imagine a world where we all just keep supporting each other and raising each other higher and higher into amazingness!
 
There are many larger you tubers I think that thats one of the cooler things about youtube, its slightly realer than tv
 
Do not worry I am called a tub of lard regularly on my channel. Even though the camera adds 50 pounds I still would never be intimidated by anyone. Especially skinnier people because I could just sit on them.
 
It's tough. People are superficial and even if you have awesome content, you might run into that one ******* that just comes on to post stuff like 'you fat f**k' and whatnot. Every time people like Stormsink or Irate Gamer take heat, they usually go right for the fat jokes instead of actually dissing their content or whatever was wrong with the video.

I don't know. Just be who you are and go with it, keeping in mind what others might say. Like me, I know I'm not some super handsome guy, so I never make arrogant 'oh yeah, I'm dead sexy' kind of comments about myself, nor do I wear muscle shirts since I don't have any to show off. LOL. If you're concerned about your looks, let your content take center stage instead. Like, if it's a gaming channel for example, let the videos be more about the games and not about wether or not you got the ladies fighting over you. Ya know?
