I don’t use twitter. It is too limiting for someone as verbose as I. You can’t even answer a question that requires any detailed explanation. It is great for snarky one liners.
But it appears the awfulness isn’t just trolls and racists and sexists. It is regular people behaving badly.
Below is a story of a Steven Universe artist releasing some sketches and then some in the queer community (which she is part of) going off on for several reasons I don’t fully understand. “Queer baiting”, I guess? Which is hinting at a relationship that may not come to fruition on the show? And others were mad because it conflicted with their fantasy relationship match up? All for a children’s show that is more about loving relationships between two “people”, people who are technically gender-less so sex and other human things aren’t really a factor.
So, yeah, that artist left twitter over that shit storm. I honestly can’t understand why people would behave so badly that caused her to leave. So sad.
