the tendency to treat fic writers/fandom artists with even a modicum of popularity like theyโre public figures who are fair game to harass and publicly shit on is sick. these are not corporations or celebrities insulated from the consequences of that kind of cruelty
I havenโt written a thing in months because during the entirety of December, my inbox was bombarded multiple times a day with essay-long hate comments telling me my fic was garbage and that it didnโt deserve its popularity.
