This is why I watch SU on my own...

When life gives you lemons, burn life's house down. Preferrably with life still inside.
...and stay the hell away from the fandom on Tumblr. Jesus fucking Christ.

Summary:
>some kid draws different depiction of characters from Steven Universe, like thin Amethyst and Rose
>Tumblr fans lose their fucking shit and start harassing the kid
>they even make a page dedicated to organizing attacks on her
>it gets to the point the kid attempts suicide, but survives and is hospitalized
>people on Tumblr resume to sling shit at her, calling her a racist, fat shamer and liar
>Rebecca Sugar and Ian JQ step in and tell them to knock it off, that artists can draw whatever the hell they want
>those very same people who hailed them as promoters of diversity, progressiveness and tollerance in animation are now calling them racists and pedophile and transphobe enablers
Way to present yourselves in such a wonderful manner, people.

The Tumblr community once again gives everyone reasons to not like Tumblr because of stuff like this. I don't know how this is going to sound... but I'm not even surprised by stuff like this anymore. The site is FILLED with assholes who are just looking for something to get offended or "#Triggered" over.
Come on for the love of god, what the hell is wrong with people?! I'm sure there are a lot of other artists who do the same thing. Who freakin cares how they draw it. Let me draw whatever they want.
Damn some people these days.
Fandoms can be fucking TERRIBLE, hands down. Makes me glad I never participate in them. ESPECIALLY on Tumblr.
That aside, never watched SU, and never will, at this point.
But if I'm gonna draw fanart of the show, Imma make some changes. Especially to that ass Amethyst. *shaketh thy fist*
With Steven Universe... Yes, the fandom is ass, just like My Little Pony. But the SHOW rarely does anything wrong. The flaws with the show, in my opinion, is the artstyle isn't great. But then it makes its cartoony artstyle into one of its strengths, where the artstyle is more stylized for dramatic moments, and looser for comedy.
It sucks that someone nearly self-terminated because of what happened to them by fans, but... That isn't the show's fault. If you take the fandom's word over a work, you can totally miss out on good works, or even works you can study on what not to do. Please don't give up on any work, because its fans are shitty. That's really mean, sad, and not the work's fault. Series can't control what fans they get.
isnt it ironic that the fandoms of show that promote diversity is against anny diversity to the dan art of said fandom " this is how it shall be and damn you for take your own spin on it"
I personaly finds Steven universe rather....... dull. But now i wanan spite these jack asses. so excule me while i draw Rose as A lovecraftian soul devourring horror
I'd much rather see a law making it illegal to allow children online unsupervised. Make the parents accountable for these little shit's behavior and things will change much faster.
Like that little 'affluenza' shit in Dallas.
That's bloody horrible... poor kid. :(
>gems that can shift change their body into any form they please
>the fandom is the opposite of everything the show stands for
yeah.....this is just tumblr culture showing how it's okay to be the bullies themselves under the guise of social "progression"
