> I am a Brazilian visual artist — or at least I was until I was cancelled in September 2021. My crime? I don't understand. Did the police stop her from making art or did she choose to stop because nobody cared? These "canceled" pieces always shoot themselves in the foot by not leading with tangible damages.

I did, until I reached the part that claims "In Brazil, currently, no one in the mainstream media challenges gender theories." and realized that I was reading a fiction story.

It's not a fiction story. It's a first-hand, viscerally personal account of a female artist who was bullied out of her profession for expressing views the bullies disagreed with.
