I don’t have anyone who I can talk to about this and since Tumblr is like my ‘comfort-zone’ I thought I’d share this here.
Recently, I joined this Naruto group on Facebook since it looked interesting. A lot of people there were really nice and I enjoyed the posts they made. I noticed that a lot of people posted pictures of different couples (NH & SS mainly). I wanted to contribute and since SNS is my OTP, I posted a cute fanart of Naruto and Sasuke kissing. It didn’t even take two minutes until I was attacked by other Naruto fans who told me stuff such as this:
go fuck yourself you stupid fucking bitch
keep your gay thoughts to yourself you fking hoe
you know normal people don’t like lesbians
if I have chance, I will love to kill all the homosexual people
they’re less than humans
I can kill you if I ever met u
This is the first time that I have ever been directly attacked because of my sexuality (and because of two fictional characters kissing). As I was first reading these comments, I felt anger. I had the urge to just shut them up. But then more and more people attacked me and all of a sudden I felt scared. I started feeling so much pain because of these comments and broke down. I couldn’t believe that people could be this horrible to someone just because they aren’t heterosexual.
I thought that maybe sharing this would help others and make them feel better if they are going through something similar. You’re never alone. If you ever need help or advice, I’m more than happy to listen or talk ♥
