    This one's got it all. Fans. Fanart. Bullying. Misogyny. Racism. Pedophilia. Threats.
    Attempted suicide. Or not?

    'Steven Universe' fandom is melting down after bullied fanartist attempts suicide

    Prior to Zamii's alarming initial farewell, members of the Steven Universe and Homestuck fandoms had reportedly created more than 40 critical blogs and other social media accounts directed at her because they believed she was purveying problematic depictions of many of the characters she drew. During her time in fandom, Zamii had been accused of a litany of flawed portrayals of characters, including perpetuating "racism/stereotyping, transmisogyny/transphobia, apologism, incest, pedophilia, fatphobia, and ableism" in her art. For example, when Zamii drew a Japanese character from the popular anime Yowamushi Pedal, she came under fire for giving the character yellow skin and slanted eyes; when she drew a black character, she came under fire for removing her Afro and giving her blonde hair; when she drew a "Native American Fluttershy" from My Little Pony, the response was mixed and often critical, pointing out that she had further stereotyped the character.

    You're a genius, SuperWatto. Plausible and frightening doomsday scenarios such as the deliberate spread of ebola through the global network of fair trade arts and crafts stores won't get 20 replies, but I predict animated character obesity whitewashing through fan art will make it to page 20 or 30 at least. And I'm here to help.

    We need a more detailed analysis of how the Steven Universe compares to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and which has the better and more popular superheroes.

    The 1976 classic "Carrie" was the last movie I saw.

    Probably the best movie ever made about the debilitating and often tragic personal and social consequences of high school bullying. It's about bullying, but also, it's a metaphor for bullying and for how social justice warriors trample on the freedom of individuals to enforce the norms that communities need to enforce in order to thrive.

    Would be cool if it was all an elaborate hoax to get publicity.

    I have a strong feeling that it was. That "Give my daughter points!" deviantart post sealed it, for me. This is a kid doing kid things to make her bullies feel like ****. The internets got a hold of it, and ran.

    Edit: It doesn't excuse the bullies, though. ****ing with a kid over fan art is pretty lame.

    Okay, yeah... sorry for the double post, but I just watched one of her videos, and I'm certain that this is legit. This kid suffers from severe depression, and the fact that people are ****ing with her like this is despicable.

    I'm going back and forth with how I feel about posting this, because I feel it would be insensitive of me, but at the same time, she's posted it publicly... so I'm going to go ahead and do it. If a mod feels the need to remove it, go ahead.

    Which thread was that? The one about not being able to separate fiction from reality, or some other one I made that I don't remember?
