It may not come out so subtly, but a lot of times, knowingly or unknowingly, the comedy business has mocked issues that shouldn’t really be made fun of. Take the issue of fat-shaming, for one. The meme trade has oodles of times taken fat-shaming as a subject and turned it into some form of distasteful mockery.
But this particular post is not to quote hundreds of those jokes. It is rather to quote that one exemplary incident which is now going to act as a hard-hitting reply to those hundreds of jokes!
A guy named Leyton Mokgerepi, under the pretext of creating something ‘relatable’ put up this disastrous meme that and fat-shamed a model on hisTwitter profile.

As expected, this definitely did not go well with people and soon enough he was seen suffering the outrage of the Twitter army!

5. On point!
It's okay to have a type.
it's NOT okay to bash the people that are not your type.
And, I highly doubt anyone likes you but ok.— Jessica Jalynn🍑 (@jessicajalynn1) September 20, 2017
However, destroying the meme completely was done this simply SAVAGE reply from the girl herself. Lee is a model and is incredibly beautiful. She said,
I don't like you https://t.co/91TJ5xypV8

This tweet went more viral than the original meme and for that matter, even caught some celebrity eyeballs. *cheers for team lee*

As expected after all shor-sharaba, Leyton tried to cover up the situation. However, this time, the man only tweeted Lee’s picture but with a caption that forced ‘irony’ to commit suicide.

But again, the damage was beyond control and clearly, Twitter got back it to business again.
1. Acceptance is the key!

3. Sarcasm much?
He’s fucking joking

Well, we are sure by now Leyton must have learned his lesson.
Also, this brings us to the burning issue of body shaming. We seldom avoid calling it a joke. But my dear, teasing someone based on their body shape is nowhere close to fun. In fact, it is downright shameful and judgemental.
