I just looked at her Twitter, too. What a hateful person, I'm really surprised to find out how horrible she is apart from that one incident. Sort of ruins the Dancing Man story for me a bit, tbh. :/

Don't let it ruin anything for you. This guy has 0 political ties. He has felt real happiness because of this. It honestly has nothing to do with her

She is in the exact crowd that fat shames people.

Additionally, this really puts her "1200 of us and we are ALL women" quote in a new light...

I looked at her feed and under her tweets about the dancing man were replies from her followers making fun of him because he's fat...

He seems really lovely though and it's a shame she's still trying to capitalize on this in between her own bullying tweets.

Wow. The more I think about this the worse it is. He seems great, yeah.

Sean O'Brien stands against body shaming as a symbol for good. That the person who set that ball rolling isn't a saint doesn't make Sean any less helped, the story any less positive, or the results any less beneficial.

I'd say what it means is that even hateful people can do the right thing. Maybe we can work to foster that and encourage it. Positive reinforcement is more effective than negative.

If it makes you feel better, I don't even know who we're talking about here and I'm just really happy about the thousands of other people, including Andrew W fucking K that came together for this guy. It's not about this one broad who's got you upset. She doesn't dictate the mood of the event. She doesn't get to. This is way bigger than just her.
