Thousands of women are throwing a guy a dance party after he was body shamed
After a man was body shamed and ridiculed on 4chan for dancing at a concert, a group of women are organizing a dance party for him.
So body shaming is typically associated with women, but it happens to dudes as well. In February, a user on 4chan posted about their encounter with a man at a concert, who was ridiculed for dancing and quickly stopped when he noticed people were laughing at him. The user posted before and after photos of the man, saying "spotted this specimen trying to dance the other week. He stopped when he saw us laughing.”
The Free Thought Project writer Cassandra Fairbanks decided to launch a personal campaign to find the dancing man and arrange "something special" for him. In a mere 24 hours, thousands of female Twitter users joined Fairbanks in her search, using the hashtag . AND THEY TRACKED HIM DOWN!
So now he's getting his own dance party… and apparently Pharrell Williams is on board.
Because he can dance if he wants to. He can leave 4chan behind.
Right f'ing on!
That makes me so happy 😊
Hell yeah

You mean for being obese ? Why not take him to the gym to party
+Souljabomb Boiloki no 😒
You go bro! Same there night away! It's the best exercise, for body and soul
get that sexy dancers body lolzYo +Souljabomb Boiloki quit being a troll
Wow. Wow, this is the kind of AMERICA WE NEED! I could not be any more happier for the outpour of outrage this guy got. I absolutely despise those types who laugh at another cause they looked funny dancing because of their weight. I have even seen my own daughters do that. And I was appalled. This comes from poor parenting to be honest. I believe it starts from a ground basis of what we grow up seeing. Ugh, as I look at the AFTER picture My heart cringes in disgust. I would love to meet the dude just because. Its nice to see some still have big hearts. WOW! Words cannot even explain.
+Terrill Corletto I'm not a few troll because I have an opinion
No +Souljabomb Boiloki you are a troll because you have a mean and negative opinion in a forum filled with supportive commentary. …take it elsewhere, learn how to comment appropriately
Moby has said he'll DJ the party, and Pharrell said he was in too!
+Souljabomb Boiloki Maybe you've never danced, maybe you're the wallflower afraid of looking silly, but dancing can be an incredible workout (and hellafun too).
WHAAAAT. WHAAAAT. This is getting crazy
+Paul Spoerry preach!
@Terrill corletto so because my opinion is different from everybody else I'm wrong I suggest you get used to the world
Looked like he just stood there to me
No, you're wrong because you're 'opinion' is mean spirited and hateful.
+Souljabomb Boiloki you're a fucking moron. Please, do society a favor: stay silent and DO NOT BREED
+Souljabomb Boiloki I'm with you. I didn't even think your comment was that bad. I could see of you were just mocking the post with nonsense but you implemented a simple opinion.
Side note, one could say the people calling you trolls and shit is where the mean spirited is coming from. Because that's what I'm seeing. Its not like you were attacking anyone else's comment as I clearly see people ATTACKING you for yours.
People, this is a social network. Duh? So let's expect the unexpected regardless. When you give people the freedom to write and speak without a person to person circumstance, you're going to get all types of differing commentary. And unless it's truly over the top, I say let it go or get used it.
+Souljabomb Boiloki you dont read to well do ya? I dont care if your opinion is different just dont be negative and rude! Learn to comment APPROPRIATELY…..douche
+Michael Lee Barnard thank you. see +Souljabomb Boiloki? Michael had a different opinion but it was well delivered and polite. To the point where maybe I should have been the bigger person and not called you a troll…. but its too late for that, you were rude and thus I politely ask you…..STOP FUCKING TROLLING MY POST, IDIOT
+Terrill Corletto are you retarded? like seriously. i live in a nice little country called america. the united states. i am used to this little thing called THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH
I CAN SAY WHATEVER I WANT HOW I WANT WHEN I WANT AND IF YOU DONT LIKE IT DEAL WITH IT.
+Souljabomb Boiloki Freedom of speech means the government can't press charges on you for saying stupid shit. It does not protect you from the consequences of your words.
I can deal +Souljabomb Boiloki, just as long as you can live with being a rude shallow and hateful person. Thanks for throwing America under the bus by saying our great nation gives you the right to be a nuisance. Only a miserable human being would use that as an excuse to be….quite plainly….mean….you didnt even make a useful argument! But whatever if u can live that way. …free country right?
Yo retards of the internet far and wide. What repercussions this is the internet you can't impose consequences on me so you sdfu.
You guys act like I said take a meat cleaver and cut off his fatty parts. Sdfu u spineless retard. Terril just shut up your annoying,don't see how this nation is so great,who cares if I'm mean(don't see how I am) being mean over the internet never hurt anybody you act as if I pissed In your cereal and shot your dog. Get over yourself
+Souljabomb Boiloki people have committed suicide from being bullied on the Internet so… You're both ignorant of what you say as well as ignorant in what your say.
And there can be consequences online… I could easily block you, or flat or asshole-shame you nonstop if I really have a damn.
BTW: is stfu… Duh isn't in that acronym…. Duh.
Please block me. People who suicide are weak IDC about them trying to find the easy way out of life. The amounts of fucks I give ➡()
You can only be shamed if you give a rats tuckus what people think. What you have to do is spend your life collecting a truck load of F**KS and then be real stingy about giving any.
Love this !!!
+Souljabomb Boiloki "Please block me." nah… because for now you're showing the contrast of humanity; you're like the 4chan assholes.
"People who suicide are weak IDC about them trying to find the easy way out of life." You're complete lack of sympathy for people who might be suffering only shows that you feel hollow on the inside. I feel bad for you.
+West Kagle "You can only be shamed if you give a rats tuckus what people think." Ideally, yes. But comeon… what person doesn't have at least one insecurity, at least one weakness, at least one fault?
You sound pathetic shut up . I had to punch a wall to feel like a man again after your school girl crying shet fuqoutahere
Please don't comment again with your retarded assumptions about my life which are baseless unfounded and most of all annoying
+Souljabomb Boiloki now thats sad….you had to punch a wall to feel like a man? Sorry, ill leave u alone…clearly u need to find yourself
If your goal was to leave me alone don't comment . shut up you hypocrite with your self rightous ass
+Souljabomb Boiloki Compassion and sympathy for others isn't pathetic; needing to punch a wall to feel manly on the other hand isn't just pathetic, it's stupid. If you don't break your hand… you have shitty walls. If you punched through a wall… you're an idiot who just punched a whole in your wall.
"Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak."
― Sun Tzu, The Art of War
Given I have 20+ years of martial arts experience allow me to provide this recommendation: If you feel the need to punch something start with a heavy bag and if that doesn't do it for you then use boards, bricks, or blocks (but only use those if you actually know how to punch).
What's hilarious and even more pathetic is that you're on MY post and trying to tell me to not comment again. LOL.
+Paul Spoerry
Don't get me wrong. I have plenty of sympathy for those who can't follow the advice I gave.I just offer it in hopes that they can find the strength to put it into practice.
…and to those who can implement that mind set, it's your obligation to try and shield those who struggle to not give 3 mouse nipples what others think.
Back in High School (like 2 ages past) I had noticed a lot of kids being ostracized at lunch, like they were untouchables or something, so I started to invite them to join me and my 3 mates. After a few weeks, we had pushed together 4 tables and had the biggest crowd during that period lunch. We excluded no one, and you know what, it was the most entertaining lunch period I had ever had during my school days. That was senior year, and I wish I had that idea years before.
+Paul Spoerry sad thing is that you actually thought I punched a wall something obviously a joke maybe instead of studying martial arts you should leave the dojo and go to the library
Awww
