It's crazy how inconsiderate people can be. I mean, people say way worse and more racist things like that every day. You shouldn't let your anger out on someone else. The worst part is that, in the end, they aren't attacking this woman because she's done anything wrong anymore. They do it because it's funny and they get a good laugh out of it. It's so easy to denounce someone online without thinking about it. Society as a whole should learn to be more smart when using the internet. You can feel invincible on here sometimes, but you're really not.
