It takes all kinds. I don't follow him closely on social media but the complaint (from some, not all!) seems to boil down to "I think his work sucks, it infuriates me that he isn't behaving in a way that indicates he's ashamed of or embarrassed by his work."
To me, the dancing is so uncool that I find it endearing. He wasn't dancing on the runway. It was a BTS video shot by someone else of him doing a little celebratory dance after completing a stressful event. Even if it's not to your taste, I fail to see how it displays anything about his lack of respect and lack of humility. The mood backstage after a show is almost always celebratory if it went off without disaster - even if the collection isn't well received. Part of the job is presenting a demeanor of excitement, "selling" the collection as a success. I know, I know... people here had the inside scoop that the team was soooo embarrassed by the collection, how dare he have the temerity to dance in the face of abject failure! Of course, people can laugh or think it's cringe-y and whatnot - fair enough! But the reactions are coming off as way harsh, Tai. In a now-deleted post someone was calling him a b*stard and a piece of sh*t. That's.... unhinged. He made a collection you didn't care for, he didn't kill someone.
In the forum guidelines: "Continual negative comments about models or celebrities will be regarded as trying to start a flame war and as such is grounds for a warning." I do think it's getting close to that point for some users with the relentless negativity towards certain people - Sabato perhaps being one of them. Strong negative feelings towards someone in the industry don't need to be silenced, but if it's just over and over and there's no real criticism it's just "omg what a loser a**h*le! The audacity to smile!" I think that's only taking away from the forum.
