The artist from Indonesia was faced with a negative reaction to the comic book, in which he tried to talk about how to treat gays in his own country.
The artist faced not only virtual threats – someone shared a story with the authorities of Indonesia, not known for the most tolerant views on homosexuality. In the denunciation was disclosed not only the orientation, but also the name and home address of the artist. In response, he closed the twitter, saying that he was leaving and regretting his drawings.
There’s been an update to @rizzydraws‘s situation, and I’m afraid that it’s not one that he’ll be able to share himself.
After his information was forwarded by internet folk, in order to curb government harassment of him and his family, Rizzy decided to take his own life.
