i just got a hate comment on my fic (in which i deleted) but let me give you the exact comment:
“This shit is absolute ass. I don’t know why you would write this, or why you thought it would be good to post this. All the kudos and comments on this shitty fic is lying to you. Do everyone a favor and delete your works, and fucking delete yourself from the earth”
Okay, let’s talk about all the things wrong with this.
1. my writing, contrary to popular belief, is not for everyone else. it’s something i do because i like to write, and if i get to share it with some of you all, it’s a huge plus. but it is NOT for you all to criticize.
2. telling me that people are lying to me is not only offensive to me, but it is also offensive to the people who commented and kudoed. You are calling them liars. I will not tolerate hate on those who enjoy my works. I will not tolerate hate on those who have never read my works, yet are still kind human beings. Knock it off.
3. Telling me to kill myself is NEVER appropriate. Especially since i am a minor, though you should never say it to anyone ever. If you hate my fics and you comment this stuff on mine but nobody else’s, you do that. Id rather it be me than someone who thinks worse about things like this.
Leaving hate comments is never, ever okay. Authors and artists in the marauders fandom, do not let these affect you. It will never be good. The art that these beautiful people create is not for you to criticize. Telling someone to end themselves because of something they created is and will never be okay. (To anyone who has gotten recent hate comments and needs to talk to someone about it, My Dms are always open)
