There are plenty of people shutting down all criticism of Hogg's and the others who are throwing themselves into the spotlight. Not sure what rock you're living under.
Nope. Nobody is shutting down "all criticism". Some, including me, are mocking the fools who are lying about the kid. Some are saying that criticizing his appearance is dumb. It is.
That's about it.
The kid himself....and all the other kids who've taken this issue a few steps forward...ain't whining about any legit criticism of their position. Nobody is.
Try harder.
