Facebook photo - AIBU?

Name changed for this as it is very outing.

On Facebook earlier I woman I am friends with posted a photo of a stranger at a festival she was at. The photo showed a girl (16-20 ish? Although you couldn’t see her face) in a gold crop top/knicker set and a pair of fishnet shorts (I didn’t know these were a thing either!)

The comment was something along the lines of “seen several people dressed like this today. Why? Wtf is that? Am I getting old? Knickers and half fishnets?” And lots of vomiting emojis.

I said it was shaming as I felt she was only looking for people to agree with her opinion of this young girl and got called “one of the permanently offended”, told to “get off my high horse” and the woman then commented that she was crying at the festival after my nasty comments. WIBU?

Gordon bennet if she had seen the hot pants and boob tubes we used to wear in the 70s she would have been clutching her pearls, the whole idea of being young is to wear what you want she is being precious

Crying at the festival?

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

No YANBU at all...if she’s sitting there crying over someone politely pointing out that she was being unpleasant, how does she think the girl in the photo would feel if she knew what she’d done and said about her?? Hypocrisy at its finest Hmm

Has the woman been drinking at the festival ? Over-reacting as a result ? Very extreme reaction.

Sounds like a fun outfit. People young or old should wear fun stuff if they want. They're at a festival not a job interview.

You are both being ridiculous Grin

Okay confused twit alert. Confused
Who was crying the girl in the photo
or the women who you called out for shaming.
If it's the women you called out for shaming. I have no sympathy. If she can give it to other people she can take it.
Its called getting a taste of your own medicine. Its often the worse taste, you see
I mean not that you were being nasty anyway and why would you have upset the girl In the photo. You were sticking up for her, weren't you.

While I don't understand why it was necessary to call her out on the shaming you clearly aren't the snowflake in this scenario.

My fb friend who had taken the photo was crying at the festival due to my accusations.

Her fb friends all leapt to her defence as well. Apparently she is just straight talking and I don’t get her “sense of humour”.

I shall just delete her and move on...

She shamed the girl, you shamed her, Racecardriver shamed you.
It's like a snake eating a snake eating a snake.

gekiort · 01/07/2018 19:27

The crying is due to her embarrassment over you being right. She doesn't know how to admit she was in the wrong so has gone all 'victim'. I would tel her to grow up.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 01/07/2018 19:28

I think you need different fb friends.
As ive alluded ive zero sympathy.

Imagine how that poor young would could feel. If she knew people were slating her.
Would your fb friend like it if it were her daughter.

I think posting pics of strangers on the lnternet with rude comments is mean spirited and unnecessary - especially of teens! She just sounds embarrassed she got called out on it.
