In a recent turn of events, Dave Bautista, the former wrestler and Hollywood star, has come under fire from Donald Trump supporters for his earlier comments about the Presidential candidate. Bautista, whose political ideologies seem to differ from those of Right Wing supporters, has also been called out for the change in his physique in what seems to be a harsh body-shaming parade on the internet.
However, the attack on Bautista's physical transformation has garnered significant outrage from fans who stepped up to defend Bautista and call out Donald Trump supporters for propagating hatred over someone's physical appearance.
Social media platforms like X became a battleground for clashing ideologies, where fans pointed out how Trump supporters were targeting Dave Bautista in a way that cannot be considered respectable.
X user @politicallatino summed this up with a detailed tweet, stating:
"My goodness your obsession for Trump is unhealthy. I went through your feed and I can almost guarantee, you would sacrifice yourself for your Messiah. Absolutely disturbing."
Others also had similar things to add to the debate.
"You're a f*cking idiot. He's just looking more healthy since he Isn't pumping his body with stuff like steroids like he would be in WWE. He's just lost weight and looking healthy, unlike someone," another user added, talking about Bautista's transformation.
"He literally lost the weight because he said it was too much wear and tear on his body to maintain it. He didn't need to be built like that anymore." Yet another user said, defending Bautista.
"He didn't want to only be type cast in roles of "big man" and he started doing jiu jitsu again. He's doing more with his life than you just complaining about an imaginary woke mind virus on Twitter." Another fan added, mocking the post about a "woke virus."
"He's looking awesome tbh." Another user added.
This X war comes days after Dave Bautista spoke out about Trump's hyper-masculine persona in Jimmy Kimmel Live!.
Why are Trump supporters attacking Dave Bautista?
The sudden surge in hatred for Dave Bautista comes after his Wednesday appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, where the Marvel star directly confronted Trump's hyper-masculine image. He said:
"Fellas, we gotta talk. A lot of men seem to think that Donald Trump is some kind of tough guy. He's not. I mean, look at him: He wears more makeup than Dolly Parton. He whines like a baby. And the guy's afraid of birds."
Throughout the segment, Bautista continued to expand on Trump's image and ideologies and took many jabs at the larger-than-life persona. This has made these clips go viral and has also rightfully attracted a lot of hatred from Right Wing supporters.
Although the hatred over Bautista's comments doesn't seem to stop, the actor is taking his stand and sticking to it.
