As to the article, i read about this the other night. Frankly, I'd rather judge the person who tried to kill themselves over something someone said online then blame the people making insults to her work. Even after seeing photos online of the things that were said, and seen this issue before in the MLP fandom, I honestly believe that if someone is so mentally unstable as to attempt suicide over the words of someone they will likely never meet nor care about, then that's their problem.

People should in no way face accountability or reprecussions for others trying to kill themselves for online insults. That is a form of deragement and insanity on the part of the person attempting suicide, not an issue regarding the person doing the insulting.

Yes, what happened is sad. But it was noone's fault but Zamii's for attempting to do something as ignorant as trying to kill him/herself and then blaming an individual whose opinion she should never have cared about to begin with.

As for blaming the fandom, grow the hell up. Anyone blaming the masses for the actions of a few needs a reality check and to realize that disputes, whether large or small do not in any way represent the entirety of a select group of people when the person doing the insulting and the victim both belong to a massive fandom. This same logic applies to many real world issues as well.

TL;DR The fandom did nothing wrong, and It's Zamii's fault for being mentally unstable enough to even consider, much less attempt suicide, and she has no right blaming someone else for her own obvious issues, regardless of the insult's thrown. We have ignore buttons and commands for a reason.
