Two weeks ago, Liz Krueger went viral after posting a picture of herself in a bodycon dress on Instagram. In the caption of the post, Krueger claims that when she wore the dress to a wedding, she was harassed by other women who slapped her on the butt and spilled beer on her.

However, the response on the hashtag has been mixed. Some are supportive.
Every woman is fab, I will always dig your outfit, idgaf if you're rockin' a bodycon dress or a fursuit. You're killin it. #KruegerKindness

#KruegerKindness kudos to you for coming up with that. I know how it feels. Lots of women suffer due to that. Kill hate with kindness!

While her outfit was skimpy, I totally agree with #KruegerKindness – there's no room for body shaming in this world! https://t.co/jRRPNIf0kK

Some lashed out at Krueger for trying to upstage the bride. Even the Minneapolis City Pages pondered, “How sexy one should look at someone else’s wedding is a quandary that merits some debate.”
#KruegerKindness seems to me you were the meanest of all,,upstaging a bride. Learn some etiquette and manners.

And still others were skeptical of Krueger’s story.

I think we’re misconstruing “bullying” https://t.co/EPQ2OsoXbH

The skepticism over Kreuger’s claims raises an even more important question about what actually constitutes bullying in our internet culture.
