Dancing Man Fat-Shamed By Cruel Bullies, The Internet Stands Up For Him In Spectacular Style

Dancing Man Fat-Shamed By Bullies, Here's How Thousands Stood Up For Him

A dancing man who was humiliated by nasty, fat-shaming bullies has had the last laugh, after thousands supported an online campaign to get him dancing again.

Photos of the man dancing on his own were anonymously posted online to 4chan with the caption: "Spotted this specimen trying to dance the other week. He stopped when he saw us laughing."

The first photograph shows him dancing happily, while in the second he looks downtrodden and embarrassed.

Although the image was posted one month ago, it has started doing the rounds again over the past few days. But rather than join the bullies in their mean taunts, most people have felt sorry for the man.

After seeing the images, a group of female dancers, lead by Cassandra, started an online campaign to find him. Their aim? To fly him out to LA to dance with them, sticking two fingers up to bullies everywhere.

It didn't take long for thousands to join the online search, using the hashtag #FindDancingMan. And after just 12 hours, the man finally got in touch with the following tweet:

Go internet!
