Facebook users can no longer “feel fat”. The ability to “I feel fat” or “I feel ugly” to choose as a status update, coupled with a thick or ugly smiley is removed after a protest. “We have heard from our community that the” feel dik’ status can create a negative self-image, especially those that deal with eating disorders, “said the social network across BuzzFeed .

Facebook was responding to a protest from a number of Facebook users who argued that the status updates ‘thick’ and ‘ugly’ do not belong in the status screen. There are asked how the user feels. Being fat is not a feeling ( fat is not a feeling, ed.), said the protesters.

“Did you know that all your Facebook friends let me tell how much you hate your body?” Said the protest text. “How can someone” fat “or” ugly “feel like this no real feelings?” Status updates made sure that men and women are able to feel bad about their healthy bodies, according to the petition signed by more than sixteen thousand people.
