It’s not about getting hate. You’re getting legitimate feedback to a fic about rape. Don’t assume all the anons who didn’t care for it didn’t read it. Sorry for your co-author getting doxxed. That is shitty.

suuuuper legitimate feedback.

You must be the one I’ve been calling “Bold of You to Assume” anon whom I haven’t blocked quite yet on account of you weren’t so aggressive (and thank you for agreeing that doxxing is shitty)

So let me respond to that message while we’re here.

“The SVU sex pollen drug strikes again!” Jesus Christ could you sound any happier about rape?

You know, I thought about deleting that line after you sent this, because it does sound a bit upbeat? Cavalier? Maybe it is distasteful.

But the thing is… I’m not talking about “rape.” The SVU Sex Pollen Drug does not exist. In fact, Rafael Barba does not exist. He is a fictional character and everything that happens in that chapter? I made it up! It’s almost like no one got hurt, it’s a story, and I can sound as excited as I want about the plot devices I use.

I’m sorry if it sounded flippant about rape in general. Maybe I will delete it.

1/5 women are sexually assaulted in the US. Maybe take that into consideration.

1. It’s a gender-neutral reader & my co-author is a man. Bold of you to assume reader is a woman.

I’m happy for you that you never have been but some of us have and that attitude making light of our trauma is shitty to say the least

2. Bold of you to fucking assume.

3. Nobody owes you their trauma history

4. If I disclosed some super personal information to you, an internet stranger, could you tell me if I have enough “victim cred” to qualify to be allowed to write a story like this? So long as I certify in triplicate that it’s for coping, with a signed letter from my therapist? Would… would that be good enough? Here, why don’t you review every sexually traumatic event in my life and then you can tell me whether it’s OK for me to write this.

5. Fuck you.

Jesus fucking Christ, I am so sorry you are having to deal with all of this.

I can’t believe - in this day and age - we’re still having to say, “don’t tell people to kill themselves.”

I want to say more, but really you have already hit all the bullet points. Fuck.
