actual teenage dirtbag

I’m actually Latino, but yes, I’m also chubby. Why does that even matter, though? And I do care about other’s opinions, but when those opinions are ignorant and misguided, I’m going to call them and address them as such. 

I can’t believe this message is actually in my inbox, but I’m going to address it publicly anyways.

Just because you’re not bothered by it doesn’t mean that other plus-sized/chubby people can’t be. Don’t invalidate the voices of those who are upset by this. 

I never said drawing skinny SU characters will change the body positivity of the show. I said that it derails and ignores it. 

Why would I attack anyone who makes skinny characters plus-sized when there’s hardly any representation for chubby characters and SO MUCH REPRESENTATION for skinny characters ?? If they make skinny characters chubby, there’s nothing wrong with that. 

Why would I attack people who turn unaffiliated or white characters into black character or any other ethnicity when there are more than enough white characters out there ?? If they take non-POC characters and turn them into POC characters, there’s nothing wrong with that.

Living with a black woman doesn’t give you a pass to make lowkey racist statements or allow your internalized racism to slide. A lot of what you just said reeks of racism. 

All things involving zamii070 aside, you really need to clean up your act and take a long, hard look at your beliefs if you feel like anything you just said is justified. 

probloumatics:

honestly i’m just pissed that faking suicide is getting zamii070 out of being held responsible for her artwork that completely demolishes the progressive and inclusive work done on steven universe. 

bullying and harassment is clearly an issue on tumblr and on the internet in general, i get that, but don’t think for one second that people won’t fake suicide or some sort of other awful event to get out of trouble and to not have to pay for their actions.

You sick piece of shit. You seriously need to take a look at your life, and really think about your priorities. What the fuck is actually wrong in your head that you could be so heartless?

Right now you should be horrified by your actions, not trying to justify them. Even if this was “fake” it is shockingly horrific that she was bullied to the degree that she thought a fake suicide was the only way to get pitch folked mobbed bullying to stop. Since that is what happened to her…

There is a reason so many people are angry about this situation, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out a group of people ganging up on one girl for FANART is wrong. She was horribly bullied in the name of so called justice. Bullying is not okay. I sincerely hope the police get involved over this so those that caused this mess face real justice. They will be able to get IP addresses and find out the truth and take action.

That is ignoring the fact this could be very much real, and an actual persons blood could have been on your hands for the sake of a cartoon show. Think about that. Think hard about that.

Also much later on she drew Rose is to be more show accurate any way? I looked at the situation and came to the conclusion that people just wanted to hate in her for any petty little thing they could. Do you really think that is appropriate in the name of being progressive and inclusive?? Like really?? Even the creators of the show have spoken out against this.

People seriously went too far with Zamii and that is why this has caused such a huge ripple. You where wrong. You should be disgusted with yourself. If you want to educate someone on a social issue you talk to them about it. Mindless hate is NOT going to get anyone to listen. Since we all know the Internet can be a sea of hate, filled with nasty trolls who aim to try and hurt people. That is what you look like, not someone who cares about actual social issues.

In being hateful you are just turning people away from your cause. If you honestly cared about the issues you claim to care so much about you would take the time to engage with people and educate them. Not be nasty abusive bullies thinking your own actions should go without criticism, because you have got it into your sick twisted little minds that you are right. Not matter what you do. You are the worst kind of bully.

At least trolls know what they are doing is wrong.

So fuck you!

Thank you for the rant that was unnecessarily long and completely swerved over the fact that I’m not encouraging the hate she is getting, but instead calling out the fact that no one should get away with faking suicide.

As someone who has been bullied their entire life and tried to commit suicide once before, and even had a cousin who committed suicide, this topic also affects me and hits home. This isn’t mindless hate I’m spewing and I never once sent the girl any hate either; I’m just calling out her problematic behavior and how this is unacceptable, no matter how you spin it.

probloumatics:

Oh gee, you sure got me with that jab about my 1D icon – I guess liking a boyband invalidates all my opinions and makes me some childish fangirl who doesn’t have a say in anything !!

Get real, man. You trying to belittle me by saying I live with my mom (which yes, as a full-time college student who has very little time for a job, I do) or by telling me I should “get help” from a psychologist does nothing to prove your point or invalidate mine.

ANYWAYS, just because it’s a cartoon doesn’t mean it shouldnt be taken seriously. And this isn’t about me “getting upset” over one piece of artwork. This is me calling out someone who can’t handle constructive criticism (much like yourself) and who tried to fake suicide in order to get out of the consequences that came from their actions. 

Also, don’t try to invalidate my opinions as a chubby person just because you were diagnosed as an obese child. You feel one way, I feel another, but you have no right to tell me what I can or cannot be upset over. If I’m angry about a plus-sized character being reduced to a twig, then I sure as hell have the right to do that. So please go away and keep your thoughts to yourself. Thanks !!

Oh, to have the right to be a frustrated ignorant, you sure as hell do: the internet has no limits to imbecility as we all know it, dear “Tumblr user” then.

She did not fake her suicide attempt.

And your reply made me laugh.

You do realize angry fans created over FORTY hate blogs to harass her, right? She’s been bullied for years. It was a ticking time bomb. I wonder what would be your reaction if over two thousands people were sending you hate messages asking for your death.

If it was constructive criticism, I’d agree with you, but it was not. It was mass bullying, and anyone who has a part of responsibility in this situation should look at themselves in the mirror and realize that they’ve been throwing shit and almost killed someone because of a goddamn, bloody cartoon meant for children.

A fanart isn’t going to make little girls cry.

And if you’re so frustrated about your size, dear chubby Tumblr user, do something about it or embrace it.

I am not going to keep my thoughts or myself, you can trust me on this <3

Why are you calling me “dear Tumblr user” when my name is literally on my blog and you can clearly see my url? I know it’s an attempt to sound witty and intelligent, part of the “holier than thou” shtick you got going on, but it’s really not coming off as that.

And yeah, I’m pretty sure she did. I have never seen faker tears and worse acting than I did in her videos. It is blatantly obvious that she did this for attention.

I understand that there’s no excuse for people bullying and harassing her, but this isn’t about that. This is about her faking suicide to make her problems go away. And honestly? I could get thousands of death threats each day and not give two shits. Maybe it’s because I have thicker skin, but I’d make pretty good use of that block button.

Cartoons aren’t made just for children anymore, friend -- hate to break that to you. Older audiences are the main supporters/backers of these shows so it’s no surprise that we have a say in all this and have a major influence in the fandom. Get over it, move on, and accept the facts.

Also, I never said I was frustrated about my size? I’m very comfortable in my own skin and love every single pound I have, but I can still get upset when there isn’t representation for big girls or get happy when there is. If someone is diminishing the body diversity in a show, I have a right to complain, so shut up and stop whining about what I have to say. It’s annoying as hell. 

i don’t think people should have tore apart her art, because her artwork is actually pretty good. i don’t think she should be bullied and harassed to the point of committing suicide or contemplating it. i think people should address her in a polite, yet constructive manner when addressing her problematic behavior.

however, i still stand by my opinion that she faked the whole thing. i genuinely think (know, actually) that this was all some big stunt meant to get people off her back and to get people to feel sorry for her. her artistic style and talent means absolutely nothing to be if the person behind the art is willing to fake suicide, which is something i take very seriously. 

probloumatics:

stop making excuses for people who make chubby characters skinny in their fanart. 

stop making excuses for people who try to ignore or take away the representation so many people (INCLUDING CHILDREN) have yearned for on tv shows or in animation. 

stop making excuses in general if you are not a chubby person and therefore do not experience the underrepresentation we have to go through our entire lives.

STOP. IT.

I have been diagnosed as obese as a child. Yet I do not play the butthurt role in this huge drama you’re creating.

This is everything but excuses.

Stop taking a cartoon too seriously and get a hold of your fucking life. If you’re not able to take a fan art, then I don’t want to see you in ten years, struggling in this big thing that normal people would call LIFE.If an ARTWORK makes you feel sad, angry or frustrated, dear Tumblr person with a One Direction icon, maybe you should consult someone with a psychology degree, or better, your mom. since I can guess you’re still living with her.

You, more than anyone else here, need help.

STOP.

I’m not actually harassing her, tho ?? If I wanted to harass her, I’d message her myself, but I’m addressing the SU fandom as a whole because they apparently don’t seem to know when they’ve been duped.

And congrats on throwing my age out, which has zero relevance to this discussion or to the point I’m trying to make. Me being an adult means I can tell when something fishy is going on and when something is legitimate, and right now, something’s seriously fishy with this girl’s story. Sorry for not sitting back and staying quiet about it while others are bullied into silence.

first thing’s first, in her video after her “suicide attempt,” she’s wearing what appears to be nurse’s scrubs, not an actual hospital gown. she’s also up against a wall and not in a hospital bed like she should be. on top of that, when she’s attempting to cry, you can clearly tell she’s faking it, especially since no tears are coming out of her eyes -- at all.

bullying is a serious issue, don’t get me wrong. I’ve been bullied just about my entire life and not only thought about committing suicide numerous times, but also tried to overdose once as well. i know how awful bullying makes you feel, but did any of y’all who’re kissing her ass ever once consider that maybe -- just maybe -- she did this to get everyone off her back? if what i’ve read is correct and she’s been criticized for her portrayal of the gems in her artwork, did y’all ever think that maybe she’d pull some outlandish trick to get everyone to feel sorry for her?

well, this is her golden ticket out of the hole she’s dug herself within the SU fandom. she is literally convincing all of you to believe her story and you’re all falling for it. it sucks that you’re trying to silence the voices of those who have caught onto the hoax as well, but alas, i will not be silenced. actually, i’m pretty upset that someone feels the need to fake suicide to make their problems go away.

I’m sorry that you’ve been bullied, zamii070. it truly does suck. however, pretending to commit suicide and guilt-tripping hundreds (if not thousands) of people into believing your story is pretty fucked up and i’m not about to buy into it. i’ve seen this happen too many times to fall for another trick -- i’ve seen people fake suicides, fake deaths, and even fake seizures just to get their idols to notice them or to get people to feel sorry for them, so i’m no stranger to this sort of thing.
