Social Justice Online - Push a young artist into suicide attempt
http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2015/11/02...idnt-stop/
Quote:Paige Paz, also known by her online handle ‘Zamii070,’ is a Mexican-American artist from Tucson, Arizona. She is the author of Basin Vale, a webcomic about a teenage vampire named Alessa trying to find the rest of her coven. She also runs a Tumblr blog, where she publishes fan art based on the animated series Steven Universe.
A strange target for a vicious cyberbullying campaign. Yet that’s exactly what Paz has been on the receiving end of. For over a year, she has received increasingly vitriolic attacks from anonymous social justice warriors on the internet who accuse her work of being “problematic.”
...
Paz was accused of racism, for allegedly drawing characters’ skin colours slightly lighter than they are in the series, and “transmisogyny,” for use of what one Tumblr blogger called the “transphobic boys in dresses trope.” A multitude of other posts could be found accusing her of “whitewashing” characters and being “offensive.” One supporter of Paz has identified over 40 Tumblr blogs that were dedicated to attacking her and her artwork.
Paz’s most grievous sin, in the eyes of Tumblr, appears to have been her drawing of the character Rose Quartz. Paz’s drawing of the generously proportioned character, which can be found here, was accused of being too thin and thus “fatphobic.”

We can all be thankful for these enlightened shitlord fighters. Kudos for the new term "transmisogyny," we have a horrible transmisogynist problem in this country.

It amazes me how there are people that would give a 2nd thought to any of the inconsequential importance of any of it, let alone consider suicide??? Holy hell, my dog has fleas - maybe I should commit suicide!!
