Hate of any kind will not be tolerated. Please do not interact with trolls or anyone posting hateful comments, report and move on. Any hate and/or anyone interacting with hate will have their comments reported and deleted. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- [3] ☆ Dedication ☆ On February 7th, 2024, a 16 year old nonbinary student named Nex Benedict was beat by three bullies in a school bathroom, because of their pronouns (they/he), and the way they were dressed. The next day, Nex was rushed to the hospital because he had trouble breathing, were they died later that day. Nex was a regular kid, just like any of us. They played minecraft, had a cat, and were a straight A student. He loved rock music, and listened to the radio after school. They watched anime, and dreamed of being a veterinarian or marine biologist. Nex's story took the media by storm, and hundreds of people across the world rallied together to remember them, and tell his story. This art collab is our way of remembering Nex, and any other young person in the LGBTQ+ community who has faced violence or discrimination for the way they dress, present, or identify. Rest in peace and power, Nex Benedict. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- [4] ☆ How to use the project ☆ At the start, the project will auto play ☆ keys: ☆ m key or audio icon - mute/unmute music > key or left arrow icon - next art work < key or right arrow icon - previous artwork b key or blue name box - show/hide artist name ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [5] ☆ The Artists (in order of appearance) ☆ All of these people are absolutely amazing, and you should show them love.
