It's not a fiction story. It's a first-hand, viscerally personal account of a female artist who was bullied out of her profession for expressing views the bullies disagreed with.


Good thing she didn't try a career in politics, huh?


I don't understand what point you are trying to make.

Well I guess there's a pretentious, poorly-drawn XKCD comic for every occasion.

Harassment, intimidation and violence are not "consequences" to be celebrated or excused.


Again, had she tried running for office then she would have been democratically put out of a job too.

It's tough business, having an opinion. It's like having an asshole; everyone's got one, and we all think yours stinks.


She's not running for office, so that hypothetical is not even relevant.

Do you have any other knee-jerk reactionary comments to offer? If so perhaps keep them to yourself.


Good luck, to her. She's going to need to grow a backbone if she wants to sell her opinion to one of the world's largest queer population centers.

Shame her whole career in art didn't work out. Sometimes it's just the audience, yunno?
