holy damn. ._____. may i ask what fandom it was for? writing for the ones i do, i've never gotten backlash like that
It was from the Pretty Cure fandom. I tackled dark subjects before in other fandoms, like Pokemon and Digimon, so I had no idea the Pretty Cure fandom were more or less against the inclusion of such subjects. That, and the Precure fandom is a LOT smaller and less known than the Pokemon and Digimon fandoms, that's probably the most likely explanation. But I wound up triggering someone by putting in an implied scene, and I didn't know what triggers and trigger warnings were at the time, and I tried standing up to some people because they were demonizing me and vilifying me just for putting it in, but someone I admired wrote a 10 paragraph post about what a horrible person I am who doesn't care about anyone but myself and don't care that I hurt people with my writing. I apologized to the person I triggered and we've made our peace with each other, but I still can't forgive some of those social justice warriors on there. I don't write to hurt people. I write because I love writing.
