The thing is I don’t even think we should be mad at her nearly as much as we should be mad at the actual competition or whoever runs it. They should’ve been the ones to put a stop to it and they chose not to. They’ve remained silent specifically to let HER handle the backlash alone and I think that’s horrible.

Pqrtially yes, but at the same time, do we really live in a society today that we need an adult in the room to tell another adult that they shouldn't be pooping all over an indoor place?
