Unfortunantly I think you have a bit of a rosy view of people. While there do exist bullies who act otu against actions that were put on themselves, there exist a lot who do it because of just plain cruelty.
The girls are from rich families. The families care about them. The problem still existed because they were willing to commit these acts.
Now, I don't think they went in there with the intent to cause the girl's death. What I think happened though, is that when it happened, they had such a dim view of the girl based on their constant insults, to the point where they believed them to be true, that they found no sadness in the death.
You can see this in how things happen now. 4chan has started a campaign of pranks against them and I'm sure public sentiment will turn violently against them, they will become the victim's, they will onyl be sad when the tables are turned on themselves.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
