This is what I never wanted to see.
Kei Urana, the mangaka of GACHIAKUTA, just deactivated her account after heavy harassment from parts of the fandom — right after winning multiple major awards.
I’m genuinely disappointed.
She did nothing wrong.
I don’t understand how certain people can claim to love an artist’s work but then harass and attack them the moment they set boundaries or disagree with something.
Artists should never have to delete their social media because toxic fans can’t handle criticism or boundaries.
I fight every day against censorship and corpos trying to strangle artistic freedom… yet some so-called fans are doing the same thing by driving creators offline.
This behavior is shameful.
Protect artists.
Stop the harassment.
I’ve previously asked people not to turn the cover design into a template, yet some are still doing it.
Comments like “GACHIAKUTA is only popular because of GACHIAKUTA OCs!” or “Are you denying our creativity?” are missing the point.
Please understand the boundary between fan works and the official material.
