Yup. People always come out of the woodwork defending body shaming bad people. Body shaming anybody perpetuates the ridiculous stigmas, and even if it makes bad people feel bad, it doesn't result in them changing their behavior.

I'm pretty sure it's just people that want to be assholes but have the wherewithal to understand they shouldn't looking for acceptable targets.
