Yes, I did not know of F's history, so again TYK for putting me in the loop.
Sometimes there is no telling what will offend someone. I deleted the fic that made the one single reference to the Raven being Erik's spirit animal. It's due South canon so I still don't really get why it set that person off (btw, the person who harshed on me was a white person, so even more mystifying to me).
Also, I have been harshed on for writing Jewish!Fraser fic where the commenter said I was being "insensitive to the sensibilities of Jewish people". I stood my ground on that one because...duh...I am Jewish by birth.
Someone who gets mad at you for writing something as it appears in canon is looking for a place to yell about something *they* just learned is offensive, I suspect. I assume you told the commenter that the use of spirit animal was dS canon, regardless of whether Erik's tribe had/have spirit animals in reality.
As for being insensitive to the sensibilities of Jewish people, oy vey. Though now I want to poke one of my Jewish friends who is fascinated by golem into writing Fraser as a golem.
