Meh, nobody much cares I don't think. In general the liberal left tends to greatly overestimate it's numbers, and how mainstream it's opinions are. Sticking up for someone making anti-gay comments on twitter (Baldwin) and engaging in some "body shaming" insults aren't going to ruin a career, things didn't end well when the alleged majority turned out to actually not be that much of a majority and get "Duck Dynasty" pulled and the family head knocked off the air. Especially in light of that it's not likely anyone is going to try and ax or blacklist Nick Searcy, or Adam Baldwin
for that matter, indeed I'm guessing your probably going to see a lot more not-so-liberal comments by celebrities as time goes on.
Plus let's be honest here, it's kind of funny. The whole "fat" thing is something you see in Junior high school (as someone pointed it) it has to be done just right to work in the "adult" world and general confrontation, and he actually pulled it off. It was actually hilarious for someone to try and bring up "body shaming insults here" that's like going after a comedian who still works some "Yomomma's so fat" jokes into his routine, especially if they can actually make them work.
To be honest while this could have backfired on Mr. Searcy, if anything I think it's going to be fairly positive, largely because of what he wound up stomping these guys with, more than his message.
... and let's be honest here, the guy is a character actor in a show about Hillbilly law enforcement (seriously), and who is generally going to be later employed playing a very similar character which works well in other shows as well. We're not talking about a guy whose image relies on being a clean cut liberal.
The central premise of the show focuses on a Federal Marshal and his friendship with a rather talented backwoods criminal who has some genuine desire to reform but keeps getting drawn back in, and who started the show literally running a militant group of racists. Let's just say that the backwoods freak show just gets worse from there, and half the point is how all these guys are social with each other, although it typically ends with the main character (Marshal Raylan) shooting people, with the recurring series gag being that he has enough "justified" kills on his belt that it drives the Marshal service nuts. While it has it's moments, we're not talking a show that is intended to be either very politically correct, or teach any kind of lesson moral or otherwise (except maybe that you want to REALLY, REALLY avoid back country Kentucky). Pretty much everyone in the show, including the protagonist, is kind of a piece of work.
