Hello! There’s only so much I can do with this post, but I feel like I need to speak up about this as an artist in the LADS fandom. Artists are being targeted more than ever, and many are leaving the fandom because of the harassment. Honestly, this place was already toxic two years ago, whether there were 4, 5, or even 6 LIs. It could always escalate to threats, doxxing, and mass harassment. All because you’re not homophobic or racist, and you draw what you want. It’s awful that a game can become a reason for this kind of behavior. Artists are being silenced, pressured into not drawing what they want, or pushed out of the fandom entirely. People are forced to put up with this just to keep drawing the characters they love, fearing that their accounts will be mass-reported and years of their work will be wiped out. Of course, there are also so many wonderful people in this fandom, and they’re the reason I’m still here. People who appreciate and love art, support artists, and share positivity. So I’m reaching out to the reasonable side of this community. If you see this kind of bullying on Instagram or Twitter, please block and report these accounts. Be kind, and remember that we’re all human too.
