Oh hey, the Steven Universe fandom is yet again in the news for being a toxic, aggressive and inhumane fandom. Just after I did a blog post about how fandoms really need to stop thinking in this cult like manner or that the world revolves around them.
So in case you're not bothered with reading the whole thing, i'll sum it up. A storyboard artist and writer for Steven Universe shared her thoughts on Twitter on two characters possible relationship and fans who disagreed with that, thought they had the right to insult her, pick on her, tell her how offensive she is.
I can not believe there are people in the world who actually need this to be spoken to them.
ARTISTS DO NOT OWE YOU SHIT.
DISAGREEING WITH PEOPLE OVER SUBJECTIVE AND FICTIONAL WORK IS NO REASON TO INSULT PEOPLE.
DON'T-BE-A-DICK.
Especially for a show that preaches kindness, forgiveness and to see the best in people, how can scum who see themselves as "fans" not practice what is preached to them? Even worse that most of it comes from adults, people who are supposed to be functioning members of society and think because someone, somewhere had a different opinion on a fictional piece of work, they had the right to berate that person...and the fact dozens of people had the same thought pattern is sad and terrifying at the exact same time.
