After the whole Zamii070 incident on Tumblr a few months ago, it seems like, once more, the SU fandom has hit rock bottom.

Floredoodler, a 15-year-old artist on Tumblr, has been harassed and bullied for shipping Pewey (Pearl x Mayor Dewey). On 12/28/15, he posted goodbye posts, including tags such as, "i don't know if I survive", "i hate my life", "i don't know if im gonna kill myself today", "i wont be here for a little while", and "i'm gonna message my three best friends goodbye". He hasn't posted anything to his Tumblr page since. I have no idea if he is still alive or not. Even so, I found these items on his 'about' page:

 "I’m going with a psychologist to try to be mentally healthy and maybe become a better person."

^
 * "I have rage issues, anxiety, depression and I’m suicidal"

Doesn't ANYONE on Tumblr realize what is wrong here? Some (NOT ALL, obviously) of these Tumblr users have been bullying a TEENAGER over the purely fictional ships that he draws. He has been having a low point in his life due to mental illness, and these EVIL users have pushed him to the edge. SICK.

THIS is not what the SU Fandom should be; it should involve people who share a bonded interest in the show and its elements as well as enjoying the show together. People in fandoms should be allowed to have fun with shows. People, especially like Zamii and Flore, should be allowed to express their ideas about the show without threats and verbal violence. THIS is WRONG.

I am at loss for further words now regarding this disgusting occurrence. Feel free to add your opinion below.
