What are your thoughts on catfish (those who identify as someone they are not)?

I understand their motivations. If you're a fat slob on the internet, your opinions are made less valid than someone attractive. But it is wrong and coercive, good intentions aside.

On a side note, catfishing is just one of many ways the internet lies to us. It's so easy to create fake movements (astroturfing) or mislead people into believing you live a better life than you're able to have like: https://i.imgur.com/mKdMXNv.jpg

That's the main reason I don't really take myself too seriously on here.
