I mean, that's nice for you, but the difference is that that teasing was coming from the friends, and not internet randos who neither know nor care about you.
Next to nobody who sees that screenshot knows the person in the photo, or whether they're even able to lose weight by "putting in the work".
Also, there's a preponderance of evidence that your case is an outlier, and "teasing" does not improve the lives of its targets.
You never know what somebody is going through, and it costs nothing to be kind.
