Pikamee.

A so-called "virtual idol" who does motion capture and provides voice work for a cartoon avatar and does live streams. 

The actress who plays Pikamee spent much of her childhood being bullied for being mixed-race. Becoming a virtual idol, let alone becoming a successful virtual idol, was a massive vindication for her. 

Then Pikamee announces that she's going to live-stream herself playing the Harry Potter video game, IIRC as part of a charity effort. 

Cue a literal horde of ostensible "LGBT supporters" swarming her chat and cyber-bullying her to such an extreme degree that she suffers a nervous breakdown and shuts down the stream.

Now it's been confirmed that Pikamee is "graduating", a euphemistic way of saying that she's quitting her job as a virtual idol. 

Much of the internet is angry that this person who survived so much has now yet again had their life altered by bullying. 

Cue large swaths of the LGBT movement *just not understanding* that what they did was wrong and trying to paint themselves as the victims when people - including individuals who are themselves LGBT - call out the larger movement for what took place.
