Honestly this whole fiasco is a crater made out of an ant hill. The artist's mistake was just poor communication and revealing that her religion prevents her from drawing queer fanart and some miserable schmuck blew it all out of proportion and allowed the harassment to go on.
Of course, this "witch hunt" caught the attention of people who already hate LGBTQ people and so they came to join in on the action becoming another angry mob. And now it's just chaotic.
This harassment spread like wildfire that involved death threats and Islamophobia where a young artist is made to be the "burning witch" for an angry mob who hates the religion. Then they started to look for other "witches" to burn in their campaign.
@lyfjiaberg @rottenw0mb_exe Why are you so bothered about someone practicing a religion when you don't even care about it? Religious people can even disagree with some parts of their own religion, it happens all the time.
Mainstream anime watchers will trash on anime they never set out to actually try and enjoy. Variety anime watchers will trash people who just have no interest in watching that doesn't interest them in the first place. You're just on different sides of the annoying spectrum.
Tell me that you have never played Genshin without telling me you never played Genshin. Even in the beginning, there is quite some disturbing lore hidden throughout the world despite the happy fantasy world Teyvat tries to present
@jeoc42@HMBohemond Actually, bi women and men are also being pushed back because there's disturbingly many LGBTQ people who think that bi people shouldn't be considered queer simply because they can have hetero relationships and they think all straights are bad.
@RemyTheRedVT If this were an AITA post, the verdict would be Everyone Sucks Here. The artist should have made it clear that they are not accepting queer commissions, and Richie should have just expressed this in a different manner to other queer people. Now it's just a messed up bandwagon
@realbludrealluv@GlitterBomb64@theotricality As a former neurodivergent kid who can't get enough stimulation at a restaurant, yes we actually prefer it over cocomelon x KPOP demons hunters playing at full volume. My parents will just remove me from the restaurant, take me outside to let off some steam, then come back.
