ZAMII RANT AKA IM GONNA GET HATE FOR THIS
honestly this is making me extremely fuckin cheesed off rn. the drama with zamii attempting suicide needs some proper fucking light because ALL OF YOU SUPPORTING HER ARE SEVERELY MISINFORMED.
zamii was NOT bullied for solely drawing skinny rose.
sorry to be blunt, but i’m an honest person. zamii has done some SUPER SHITTY STUFF. everyone fucks up, but zamii has taken it to the next level.
please dont think i hate her for no reason or that im someone who’s sent her death threats. im one of those people who’ve, in the past, tried to tell her that if she’d just apologize everything would clear up. like ive sent her so many asks n shit when her askbox was open on the rare times it was just telling her that everything would calm down if she apologized and acknowledged her mistakes.
zamii has been extremely racist, ableist, transphobic, and has supported pedophiles. she’s apologized for NONE of this.
i know people will debate this and im too lazy to go get some links but i’ll just explain some of the things that she’s done and not apologized for.
racism:
-drew “native american” fluttershy, which was extremely racist in my opinion as a native person. others have agreed that it was racist. when zamii “apologized”, she said she did 45 minutes of research and cited disney’s pocahontas and fucking halloween costumes as her sources for the outfit depicted in the drawing. she also gave fluttershy red skin which is a blatant native stereotype. zamii has not properly apologized for this.
-zamii also created an antagonist in her comic basinvale, a native american with, yet again, blatantly red skin. his name is chief, and he speaks broken english. if that’s not stereotyping, i dont know what is. again, i am native american, so i’m qualified to say that’s pretty damn stereotypical. zamii has not apologized for this either.
-drew asian characters with yellow skin and slanted eyes, more than once. for example, zamii drew pearl from steven universe with very yellow skin and slanted eyes, and stated she was “japanese”. zamii has yet to apologize despite it being obviously fucking racist.
-whitewashed black characters by drawing them without their canonical afros, drawing them with paler skin, etc.
-yellowfaced while cosplaying damara medigo, a character which is a racist stereotype of japanese girls on its own.
-although she was told she should respect the canonical racial features, zamii was refusing to draw big noses on characters who are depicted with them, such as connie maheswaran from steven universe.
ableism:
-used “blind” as an insult/in a negative way/as a joke in the description of a drawing of terezi pyrope, a canonically blind character. has not apologized.
-there is more here under the subject of ableism however atm i cant remember nor find any examples, so we’ll leave it at that. blind people are indeed disabled, to use blindness as a joke is shitty.
transphobia:
-made an “apology” video for transphobia, said that she “didnt mean to separate trans girls from actual girls”, which is an extremely transphobic statement. zamii has not apologized for this.
-zamii has also made a comment on her twitter about how trans women not wishing to be called by male identifiers need to “chill”. zamii is a cisgender woman. she has not apologized for that either.
-supports the transmysogynistic phenomenon of “boys in dresses are funny!”, has yet to apologize. i am a trans guy- though i guess one could call me some sort of bigender as i identify as partially feminine nonbinary- and even i have the common sense to understand transmisogyny.
pedophilia apologism:
-supports and is friends with a convicted pedophile,matthew james gridley, aka griddles. when called out for supporting him, zamii threw a tantrum about how she should be able to support and be friends with him, despite griddles molesting countless minors, even his own goddamn little sister who was 12 at the time. zamii has utterly refused to apologize for supporting griddles, a pedophile who has been charged and convicted for his sexually abusive acts.
-uses the word “shota” in her captions for artwork, despite being told it’s a word that has connotations of pedophilia and should only be used by csa survivors. i am a csa survivor myself, and even i am uncomfortable with the word.
-suported tumblr user lemonteaflower, who has drawnliteral child pornography and also uses the word shota in their art despite being told not to, much like zamii. zamii has not done anything other than complain after being told about this.
miscellaneous shitty things she’s done:
-faked death and rape threats
-faked anon hate asks/submissions, this has been proved multiple times
-drew other racist things such as muslim peridot that she’s been called out for, however i didnt find those as significant since they were one-time offenses
-threw neumerous tantrums after being called out instead of acknowledging her mistakes and apologizing for them
-drew rose quartz very thin, when in steven universe she is canonically fat. there is no way around that. yes it’s very fatphobic and she’s not apologized, but i’ve only ever seen her do this with rose quartz and therefore I dont think it deserves its own section, even though it is a serious issue.
now that you’ve read all of that, let’s clear shit up.
but wait, isnt zamii a minor? a literal child?
NO! zamii is 20 years old! 20! twenty! a literal adult! nobody is harassing a child here, zamii is 100% a LEGAL ADULT, which makes some of her offenses like supporting pedophiles to be even more disturbing and wrong.
it’s tumblr’s fault! they pushed her to attempt suicide!
sure, we’ve not been nice to zamii for the last few years but guess fucking what? SHE COULD’VE FIXED EVERYTHING BY APOLOGIZING AND CORRECTING HER MISTAKES. zamii has made NO EFFORT to improve her situation. it’s sad she attempted suicide, but do not blame the people she’s hurt for being angered and offended when zamii herself could’ve fixed her mistakes like the responsible adult that she should fucking be by now.
it’s the steven universe fandom’s fault! they harassed her for drawing thin rose!
NOOOOOOO THAT IS NOT WHAT HAPPENED. THAT IS NOT THE WHOLE OF WHAT HAPPENED. the steven universe fandom did not gang up on zamii over drawing thin rose. it was numerous fandoms, racial groups, lgbt people, etc that have been and still are angry at zamii. we have very good reasons to. zamii has not ever given us any legitimate apologies for her fuckups.
you’re all just bullies! leave her alone!
she’s an adult and should be able to hold her own. we should not leave her alone until she apologizes and does it correctly. i do not support harassment or bullying, but zamii has done some bad things and never tried to apologize or improve her situation. she couldve avoided EVERYTHING by apologizing.
so what about you? what makes you so perfect?
well, for starters i’m a trans guy, i’m half native american and half italian. i’m also schizophrenic, a csa survivor, and basically part of every minority ever. i dont claim to be perfect. far from it. everyone makes mistakes. zamii just took it too far and refused to fix it.
i guess people arent gonna read this far entirely so:
TL;DR - Zamii070 is 20 years of age, a legal adult, and supports pedophiles, is very racist, transphobic, ableist, and fatphobic. yet yall blindly support her because she attempted suicide. stop kissing her fucking ass and acknowledge that she’s not a perfect angel incapable of defending herself or correcting her goddamn mistakes. yes it’s sad that she attempted suicide, but she could’ve corrected the situation by apologizing and literally chose not to. thank you and please reconsider.
