Dream Daddy Fanartist Apologizes After Unbearable Harassment
Developer and Publisher Game Grump’s sim dating game Dream Daddy was an instant hit on steam and though the gameplay was not something groundbreaking. but it was surely praised for its progressive thinking.
But somehow the game has managed to become a hot topic. as previously reported that an artist whose twitter name is Ohnips created a gender swapped fan art of the characters from Dream Daddy.
But some people got offended because of it. why? according to the creators the Goth character in the game whose name Damien is a transgender man. Ohnips in her art portrayed him as a female character which was perceived as demeaning and transphobic. due to this fan artist received many hate messages and some even contained death threats.
Even Developer of the game had to intervene and said that the harassment over a fan art is not good and it needs to be stopped. a majority of people were in support of the Ohnips which included several transgender people too and all claimed it’s just a harmless imaginary art.
But the harassment didn’t stop it escalated so much that Ohnips decided to close all her social media accounts.
Will probably leave all social media. The harassment is uncontrollable. Have a great one!

Many of her supporters sympathized with her and also pointed out that it was wrong to apologize to people who harass and send death threats.
I’m so mad. You shouldn’t have to apologize to these idiots. They were in the wrong, not you. You were just doing art

You shouldn’t even have to apologize, what you drew was completely inoffensive and absolutely did not warrant any of the attacks you got.

Wasn’t best to apologise. Due to the idiots on Tumblr/Twitter.
You don’t have to apologise, when you did nothing wrong. We love you Ohnips!— DemMatsuShips`~` (@TxS_AnimeOtaku) July 30, 2017
