[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teigan has always been really judgmental and kind of mean on Twitter. I'm surprised that people are surprised to hear about these comments. This was her Twitter "brand" for years.

I think one thing that happened is that Trump got elected and people like Teigan who used to tweet nasty things about Lindsay Lohan or Stodden or whoever the "young woman of scorn" of the week was (see also: Perez Hilton, Billy Eichner, anyone associated with E!, etc.), instead started tweeting earnestly about immigration policy. Plus their nastiness got channeled toward Trump, who actually deserved it, so it became easy to rally around these celebs and a bunch of people turned them into avatars for the progressive movement, which was dumb. But it just doesn't seem nasty when people say awful things about Trump or his family because they are vile, so it doesn't occur to people that it actually takes a certain kind of personality to tweet nasty things about other people, even someone as dangerous and awful as Trump.

Now Trump is out of the public eye and there's a bit of a reckoning about the level of gossip, meanness, and misogyny of that era. Look at how Perez Hilton and others have had to make their mea culpas over what they said about Britney back then. The Trump era has woken a lot of people up to the idea that just spewing ugly meanness about people who are struggling is horrible behavior, especially because so often the person being targeted is a young woman who is struggling with body image issues, mental health, potentially even abuse. But this was so common as recently as like 2014. And Teigan was of course a part of it.

It's cute how many people think being part of the #Resistance somehow absolves them of being dicks for years and years. I'm glad to see that some of them are being called on it finally. We are long overdue.[/quote]

Well said. People who really like Chrissy are stupid sheep or nasty people themselves.[/quote]
