If you haven't been living under the rock for the past couple of years, you must be aware of who James Fridman is - the famous photoshop troll who takes photo editing requests so literarily, it would leave you with tears of laughter...
James Fridman is also known for encouraging self-love and self-appreciation. He declines photo editing requests that have to do with imperfections, stating that people should embrace them, not hide them. A few months back James announced the establishment of the James Fridman Foundation - a charitable organisation aimed towards helping children and young people affected by social issues.

This week James Fridman posted a story on his social media about a little purple creature named Bobli. Bobli shares its (It seems as though Bobli is genderless) daily struggles finding real friends, and inability to fit in with society due to its imperfections - a different length legs, uneven ears and wonky eyes. However, it is made clear that Bobli embraces its imperfections and is happy with the way it looks. Bobli also has a favourite red scooter with special wooden plank attached to the platform, that allows for perfect balance.
Bobli became an instant success, resonating with many people on the internet. Within 24 hours Bobli amassed 45k followers on Instagram and I'm sure more are on the way.
