A cruel internet jibe is turning into a huge jam for a hefty man in London who was shamed on social media for dancing. Now, nearly 2, 000 woman are throwing a party for him and Ellie Goulding, Haim, Pharrell Williams and Moby want to play at the huge gig.
Social media can wound and social media can heal. In February, a woman posted a picture of a large man dancing next to her and wrote cruelly that she “spotted this specimen trying to dance the other week. He stopped when he saw us laughing, ” as reported by entertainment ie. The user was called out for the mean tweet and Cassandra Fairbanks of The Free Thought Project decided she would find the dancing man and organize a huge party for him.
