Family Drama: The Edited Picture

Our protagonist confronted Annie about the severely edited picture, but Annie refused to take it down, claiming it was all in the name of body positivity. Things escalated quickly, with Annie accusing her cousin of not understanding what it’s like to be fat and having an easy life.
