What isn't everywhere is making fan-art of suicide victims. I think it is fair to assert that there is a distinct subculture here.

Furthermore, I reject the idea that identifying a subculture means that you are dismissing that subculture.

I don't think identifying them as a subculture is the issue, it's the use of the word 'radical' which could come across as dismissive.
