R.I.P. Rorschach Jackie

This is one of my friends. She was a fellow cosplayer who was bullied and attacked from other cosplayers. The picture above was her last and her best cosplay. She recently committed suicide on September 20th due to all the abuse she received. We supporters want her…

This always, always blows my mind when cosplayers, or geeks, or people in a fandom or anyone in that sort of community is bullied by people in their own community.  Don’t we already get enough crap from people outside the geek community?  You have to bully within it?  You would THINK they would be more supportive, and happy to have someone else who understands, and NOT be hurtful towards them.
