Sam Smith is an obese adult male who chooses to productize his image in a sexual and controversial manner for public consumption. Any and all criticism is fair game. https://t.co/Si6FJdIZSR

Meanwhile, people are defending the “Unholy” singer, who’s expressing their true self…
The way yall treat Sam Smith ever since he started being more feminine is very weird and nasty. Y'all are ugly.

(This user corrected Smith’s pronouns to they/them in a following tweet.)
All this Sam Smith ridicule just proves that heterosexual, cis people don’t want queer people being visibly queer in public: “I’m fine with you being gay, just don’t show it”.
And you know what? F*ck that.— Thomas Willett (@ThomasWillett9) January 29, 2023
the constant hate sam smith is getting just because they’re finally being themselves and feeling comfortable in their body makes me so sad, i don’t care if you don’t like their music, just stop being fatphobic and transphobic pic.twitter.com/eX8g4uTfsA

If you’re queer and you’re shaming Sam Smith, you’re exactly what is wrong with the lgbtq community. You want to fight for inclusion and equality but can’t even be accepting of your fellow queers? #lgbtq pic.twitter.com/WtFZV9HhxW

Let’s be honest with ourselves guys – you don’t hate that Sam Smith isn’t “safe for kids”, you hate that they are comfortable in their own body because that body is not to your standards.

For the record. If you had no issues with Madonna all these years, or if you spent countless hours locked in your bathroom fapping it to W.A.P. Shut the fuck up and leave Sam Smith alone. Everyone deserves the right to live their life to the fullest. pic.twitter.com/RkAtL4dfja

Here are also a couple of positive comments from YouTube users:
“Sam’s confidence is so infectious in this video! That black dress is everything.”
“I love this song, it fits like a glove and I don’t stop listening to it, without a doubt, a new era for Sam is yet to be written.”
“Sam is just amazing. They are slaying constantly. I love that people are triggered someone who isn’t the ‘perfect’ body shape can love themselves and strut their stuff.”
“Omg that black corset outfit while theyre walking down the stairs? A slay.”
“I don’t know how you do it. Ever more brilliant and beautiful!”
Tbh, Sam Smith doesn’t deserve the body shaming comments and harsh words…
