After hearing about the Zammii070 incident...
I’ve never been SO ashamed of an online community.
I had no idea what it was about before I saw a Facebook post a friend shared about it. There were countless screenshots of people just OUTRIGHT BULLYING this poor artist.
I am disgusted with the Tumblr community today, and it’s been culminating for a while. A couple months ago, (I was being bullied by the Dragon Age fandom,) until I too almost committed suicide.
This sjw BULLSHIT needs to end.
As a transman, I feel like no community has degraded me more than this community. Who supposedly stand for people like me. I feel like people use social justice as an excuse to attack people, and it’s HORRIBLY one-sided.
I constantly feel like I’m walking on eggshells to post here, so I just kind of stopped after the Dorian incident. I am terrified to draw Dorian and my character anymore because “God forbid Maxwell be realistically (for the DA era) transgender.” Oh but someone can draw Bull as a transman, and Dorian eating him out, and get 0 shit whatsoever? I don’t have a problem with that, I have a problem with the BLATANT pick-and-choose hatred.
I work with some non-binary feminist people at work, and I liked them at first, but then they started talking like enraged Tumblr sjws, and I honestly am rethinking why I even felt a part of the queer community in the first place. I feel like the entire queer community is becoming this hateful, belligerent sort of people. I never thought I’d prefer the company of cis-people more than people like me. But you know what I failed to realize before I had this huge wake-up call about this stuff? We’re all just PEOPLE.
Categorizing and nitpicking is the BIGGEST DETRIMENT to REAL social justice. All this compartmentalizing is RUINING the idea of equality. People are doing just what the people you guys are spending all your time hatefully talking about, did to us.
You have become the very thing you hate, I hope you people are fucking proud of yourselves.
I’m so incredibly disgusted.
I came to this site hoping it was better than the drama of Furaffinity, but I honestly don’t know what I was on to think this was a good place to be.
I don’t know if you’ll ever read this, but please know, you’re amazing, I know we don’t know eachother, but you’re an incredibly gifted artist and there are people that value having you in the Tumblr community.
I’m sorry that people pushed you that far, and I hope you recover and that you’re okay.
I know things are hard right now but please, keep your chin up, and don’t let these people take you away from the rest of the world. They’re not worth it, and you deserve better.
Here’s hoping you see this. <3
