Vile trolls body shaming Grant Gustin shows that even male superheroes are not immune

Grant Gustin: Mostly, the bunch of naysayers were critical about the Flash's latest costume - a glimpse of which was recently leaked from the sets.
UPDATED AUG 9, 2018

Thanks to an unfortunate leak from sets of the upcoming season of 'The Flash', DC fans earlier got a glimpse of Barry Allen's new suit. The Flash costume, which many critics considered to be a more comics accurate version, unsurprisingly went on to spark a wave of reactions from superhero fans, including some not-so-pleasant ones. 

Mostly, the bunch of naysayers was critical about Flash's latest superhero costume and especially Grant Gustin's appearance in it. As it turns out, it didn't take much time before the flurry of comments snowballed into a skinny-shaming backlash, prompting 'The Flash' to ultimately break his silence and address the unwarranted criticism with a scathing post of his own.

Since Gustin firing back at the critics, however, many fans have come forward in defense of the actor.
