If you send hate or harassment to an author because they write something you don’t like, fuck you. You are a bully, you are entitled, and you need to learn to have responsibility over your own health and well being.

Inspired by the recent events of an incredible author who posts the most THOROUGH content warnings and authors notes and is 100% transparent about what their work entails getting harassed into privating all of their work.

I hate how minors (yes! Minors! What the fuck?) on Twitter/Tumblr/Tiktok (man, fuck that app honestly) have taken it upon themselves to completely bully and harass adults into removing their work all because they feel as if they should have a whole internet platform cater to them. No, you are being a bully.

I will say this again- if an author has tagged their work appropriately, if they’ve written out a whole author’s note detailing what’s in their fic, and if their profile says to NOT INTERACT IF YOU’RE A MINOR, then….

Listen. To. Them.

Sorry (but most definitely not sorry), people are allowed to write whatever the fuck they want. People are allowed to fantasize in fiction about whatever the fuck they want. No real people are harmed via fiction. You are not doing anything remotely socially conscious or social justice oriented by harassing people on the internet. Take your slacktivism and fuck off.
