Thank you for the further clarification (pointing me to readers' comments). I read Franzeska's meta very early on and so knew little of the reader reaction it had drawn. Without denying the legitimacy of anyone's feelings, from personal experience I do believe that at least sometimes a reader presumes malicious intent where there is none. For instance, I once wrote a fic that mentioned "spirit animals" and was told that because I am not First Nations I "should be ashamed of [my] cultural misappropriation" -- I was shocked at that and have been increasingly uneasy about being maligned for the creation of fanworks in which I have no malicious intent -- and now I am just waiting to be hit with a shit-storm of allegations that I'm racist because I supported someone's creative endeavor on the basis of knowing them IRL.
