Twitter immediately erupted with mixed reactions from netizens.
Some are faulting Yulo for posting what should have been a private message, but others see nothing wrong about it but a simple ‘star struck’ moment.
The gays are hating Mark Bautista for simply congratulating Carlos Yulo. You are all sexualizing the kid these past few days and kayo pa talaga may ganang mag-call out? HAHAHA

People are so judgemental nowadays. Instead of being happy, sisirain pa reputation ng iba. And why is gender that important?? Like duh

I'll support you as an athlete but posting a screenshot of a harmless private message was totally unnecessary ✌

Now ang daming nagproprove na low talaga ang bansa natin sa reading comprehension. We are better than this. Yulo was just admiring Bautista.

Nothing wrong with the DM and the follow. But Carlos gave Mark a generous amount of attention by posting screenshots. Attention spurs conversations.
