Really it's just cuz he's fat. I honestly think if it were, say, a good looking person, even with Sasha looking like that, it'd be funny but would never have gotten near the traction it got.

I used to be that big, maybe bigger. And I personally felt like every picture I was in was embarrassing, even if the person wanted to be in the photo with me lol. Now that I'm down to 180, I still feel like I look like that, always had the "people are staring/judging" feeling, but then I see my reflection and I'm reminded how much dysmorphia sucks.

Not saying it's cool to just walk up and take this photo with someone who clearly doesn't want to. Definitely don't do that lol. But I'm just saying the secondhand embarrassment is likely just you empathetically imagining a picture of yourself, looking like that, going viral. Sasha could have a shit eating grin and look like she loved taking that pic, and you'd still feel that feeling.
