@nosferatil's post on Artfol

Very small vent because i havent been on here for a while....






My friend I getting a lot of hate because her oc/sona is intersex(hermaphrodite)... Like a lot. She has received death threats and shit from trans(FTM from what i know) and other members of the LGBTQ+ community.

But, of course, it isnt sexist or hate-speech because people like that(intersex) don't exist, right? I'm fucking livid. The hate she is receiving just from having a character with both genitalia makes me want to disconnect from the community(Because literally everyone giving her these threats and bullying her are members). Her character was even r'd while she was offline(they had sex with her character while she was offline and had RP'd like the character was asleep, it was very much r') And she has been neglected and banned from various places from.... Owning a fucking character.

The list goes on about what she has had to go through and I am fuming.

Hermaphroditic/intersex people exist and they aren't just a thing to fuck. Don't FUCKING sexualize them. Its not cute and it is fucking annoying.

Learning about this kind of crap happening, and from the lgbt+ community, is downright repulsive. Don’t they feel any shame at all over what they’ve said and done? 😑 Nothing better to do than to bully another human being for just expressing themselves in their own creative way? Them poor souls. shakes head
What the actual heck. That behavior towards her and her character is so wrong and disgusting. I can't even comprehend why those ppl would think saying and doing such things would be okay. I see absolutely nothing wrong with being intersex and it baffles me that other ppl would. I am so sorry this is all happening, I hope she finds a safe space soon for her and her character (even though she deserves to feel save everywhere) ppl are cruel
Whoa this is new. I mean i know the community got a dark side but like-. I'm honestly just confused. Usually hate.like that happens with nb people-. Wtf is wrong with people? I'm not really surprised though, though I agree with the person below.

You just seem to be running into ignorant bigoted people TBH. (There are a lot of them)

🥴I literally know someone who is intersex um...one google search is all it takes. Plus who tf told them all intersex people have something resembling a vagina and penis- like the ignorance!

They are bigots

Hope you're friends find a safe place for their character and you guys find a more open community that doesn't allow this stuff
Sounds like you and your friend need to hang around different people. This isn't an issue I've personally seen, even with a broad spectrum of diverse characters. If you're getting death threats, you're posting your work around immature people.
