An interesting issue cropped up on tumblr over the past week or so.
Apparently the depiction of Fan Art of the popular cartoon Steven Universe had tumblr users up in arms after very simple drawings somehow perpetuated "fat shaming, racism, transphobia, etc.
One users very passionate and hobbyist drawings led a mass of people to ridicule, attack, and shame her to the point of "nearly driving her to suicide."
Now granted I'm sure this was overly perpetuated and probably someone responding in an over dramatic way and wouldn't actually commit suicide over this, but what I am amazed by is the fact that literal fan art has the ability to turn people into toxic monsters.
The pictures shown in the article are incredibly tame and don't even perpetuate any form of Negativity, but leave it to tumblr to once again take simple hobbies and make them literally crimes against humanity.
