[QUOTE=TheHydra;49003977]honestly, this is the real reason behind all of this:

some angry teenagers on tumblr saw an artist that was popular despite not meeting their standards, so they built up a web of accusations to try and drive her off the site by any means necessary[/QUOTE]
Referring to the short answer part, that's another thing I notice getting thrown around on tumblr as well.
"THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!" "Children are going to feel this way if they see x character getting represented like this" as a a shield and as excuse to police artists as to what they can or cannot draw. Children shouldn't even be using tumblr of all places.

[QUOTE=Zang-Pog;49003280]I honestly wish these actually good artists would just [I]step the fuck back[/I] from these horrible fanbases and just do their own thing, specially if the people who're supposed to like your art are so horribly anal about everything you do.
Jesus christ, is it jealousy or what that drives people to act like this because I refuse to believe these people exist[/QUOTE]
Yea thats what sort of sucks at being an amatuer artist. Any new site that comes out for you to post your work on eventually devolves into something horrible. DA is chock full of good art, but it's also chock full of fetishism and sonic OC BS. Tumblr is a really good website for posting and sharing art and other media, like a really good one, but big chunks of the site have devolved into SJW shite, faux transgenderism, and other toxic shit like that (FFS theres actually a tumblr page run by a person who is literally in love with Henrich Himmler. Absolutely disturbing). It's insanely hard to share anything on that site without falling into the sights of some toxic community.
[QUOTE=Maloof?;49002832]You know all words are fabricated right? A thousand years ago we didn't have 'butthole' or 'dingleberry'. We didn't have 'feminist' a hundred years ago, and if we still didn't have 'feminist' women would still be unable to vote, unable to own property and literally stuck in the kitchen. Understanding and bettering the world sometimes requires new words to describe sociological concepts - it's not an issue unless people are talking about how they are treekins or other imaginary stuff.
Just because it effects a small number of the population doesn't mean it's not an issue. Grab a handful of problems like transmisogyny and transphobia and you've got the core of the reason why 41% of trans people attempt suicide.[/QUOTE]
i'd agree with you if this whole trend of alphabet-soup social concepts wasn't created by a small group of people who are similar to the aggressors in the OP. it's quite a one-sided pissing match. words are meaningless in and of themselves, it's the ideas based behind them grounded in specific contexts that create meaning.

[QUOTE=Ekalektik_1;49003218]The only legitimate case I can imagine goes straight to Godwin here, and that's how the Nazis took the swastika from Hinduism and used their symbol of peace as something that came to symbolize hatred and intolerance. [I]That[/I] is legitimately taking something from a different culture and making it their own thing that it was never intended to be.[/QUOTE]
I want to jump in and say the Swastika is not exclusive to Hinduism, but is an ancient symbol used by many different cultures around the world, from Asia to (Native) America. It was common in the Western World as a sign of good luck or a tribute to Native American culture (in the US). Remnants of the old swastika can still be found in many pre-1939 buildings, with decor featuring the swastika or even the entire complex of buildings in the shape of one. As far as I know, Nazism has not killed the Asian swastika like it has in the West.

[QUOTE=CoixNiro;49004198]One thing I've noticed that really sets SJWs apart is how ridiculously over the top they are with loaded terminology. Take this here for example. There is no loli/shota to them, it's actually child pornography. But wait, they're not done being batshit by a longshot because they'll smear anything with a "moe" aesthetic that's not wearing a burqa equivalent as being loli and therefore CP. It's just an incredibly dishonest tactic they use to broadly smear and slander things they don't like.
You can see this in literally any issue they make themselves an authority on, though, too. It's why you get ridiculous shit like the ever expanding definition of rape, where forcefully penetrating someone and looking at them are both rape. Or the ever expanding definition of racism, where getting a character's skin tone off by the slightest bit makes you Hitler. Again, these are dishonest bully tactics they're using to broadly smear and denigrate things they simply don't like. If they don't like it, their own sense of morality has to condemn it. There's no such thing as "live and let live" to these people.[/QUOTE]
They're basically like the religious right but on the left.

i was just about to post this. some crazy reaching, im assuming its a troll
tbh though the people who pushed the artist this far are being hated on by the greater tumblr community though. almost no one outside this small group of crazies is condoning what happened. at least what im seeing among people i follow.

They didn't start that, to be fair. I mean the situation is a bit usual but the smearing tactics go back as far as 2000, if not earlier.
It's unbelievable the way these people blow things out of proportion, to be honest
I found a callout post for someone who made some cute undertale fanart yesterday (not that I'm going to link to it) and told everybody not to share fanart on the basis of pedophilia...And it was actually just non-sexualized older versions of characters. This happens all the time and I don't know why it's just tumblr causing all this

That's what extremism is, a small group of crazies.
as someone who has been called out on tumblr before i will say:
a lot of this shit is people trying to get their 20 seconds of fame, due to the actually important callouts that have happened recently. ever since those theres been a huge surge of them of people reaching to try and get people they don't like bullied or get them to delete.
these people who attacked this girl are probably the same, and its probably a very small group of people harassing this girl, but made it excessive.

[QUOTE=godzirra;49003898]How much do you want to bet that many of these "social justice warriors" are just bandwagoning kids who don't actually know the magnitude of what they're doing?
The SJW radicalism has really gotten out of hand. It's made me sick to my stomach.[/QUOTE]
I've been putting some thought to this lately. Personally, I think they know what they're doing because they clearly know how horrifying it is to be labelled as racist/sexist/etc, so they throw these horrible accusations out because they know it will have an impact and maybe force the other person to stop. I think the really scary thing is that people are willing to call others racist or sexist at the drop of the hat, to the point where ACTUAL racism and sexism have lost impact. That's the only way I can rationalize this behavior; he'll, I saw TotalBiscuit compared to Joseph Stalin today. I don't think the people saying these things know what TRUE oppression and racism/sexism actually is.

I went to their tumblr 100% expecting them to be a troll but they're not. don't know how to feel right now. hard to believe that there are thousands of people like this who can wish death on somebody who's already clearly suicidal and not blink an eye and there are no consequences

Yeah, their first post was made yesterday and they still use the default blog theme. Definite troll. Don't mean to deny that there are some actual nasty people that do shit like this on Tumblr, because there are, unfortunately. That doesn't mean that troll blogs aren't rampant either, though.

they've said it clogs up their system if you report it multiple times but I think that just means from an individual user, after all, it's not like everyone is made aware and asked to stop when one person reports

to be honest, tumblr probably doesn't give a shit. Fuckyeahdeadcrackers was up for I think over a year despite being as inflammatory as it gets and getting reported nonstop.

The anime fandom is huge and I have never seen anything like this. Thats because the logic of social justice minded individuals forbids them from being critical of anime because its created by yellow people. These types of people are always the source of harassment in fandoms.
