Time and again the "victims" of X-shaming ask, Why?
Why does this person spend time and energy contradicting another person?
Why do people Fat-shame? What's with the hate?
Why do people make homophobic, transphobic, racist sexist comments?
Here's what they're doing and why:
If someone comes out and makes a big loud noise about something, someone else is going to respond.
Sometimes you can't just let someone come onto the public stage, make a massive statement and leave.
For every action there is an opposite and equal reaction.
If you make a statement, you are going to get a response.
If you come out and talk about how being fat is beautiful, being gay is awesome, wearing a dress and makeup makes you a woman, whatever it is, you cannot expect to leave it at that and everyone will just sit back and go "Cool!".
Haters don't hate. They are simply responding to someone with an alternative view.
This is called Dialectic in Philosophy. It is a normal and good process in human rational expression and the reason we have Debate,
A debate is a rational discussion between people with opposing views. Usually in the form of a statement that X is Y, with one party for the statement and one party against the statement.
If you express an opinion on a public platform, you should expect a contrary response.
If you express an argument in public, you are asking for a debate.
So stop getting upset when this happens.
You asked for it.
