Demi Lovato may not be back in the recording studio yet, but she’s very much back to her post as Social Media Protector.
On Friday, the Sorry Not Sorry singer went ballistic on her Instagram Story for allowing the mobile app Game Of Sultans to use ads that promote blatant fat shaming.

Dozens of social media users have been voicing frustration over the ads for this empire simulation RPG that show images of different types of princess labeled “pretty,” “ugly,” and “obese.” Yes, this exists in 2019.
So, when one of these icky ads found its way on Demi’s feed, you better believe the Disney Channel alum didn’t scroll past it. She took to her IG Stories and blasted the social platform for allowing the “disgusting” advertisement that could easily trigger someone struggling with an eating disorder or other mental health issues.
The recovering 26-year-old, who has previously been vocal about social media’s negative effect on her own body image, told Instagram to “Keep this bulls**t off mine and others feeds” before it does irreversible damage, adding that she expected the Sultans of Instagram to know better than to let such archaic nonsense invade their app.

Demi isn’t the first social media user to call out these ridiculous ads — many have already blasted Game of Sultans for using fat shaming and overt sexism to promote the game:

Ugh.
Hopefully Demi’s voice is loud enough to get this app executed.
