(i don't usually respond to critics this directly but when they act like i personally broke into their house to inflict my extensively content-warning'd homestuck fanfic on them i kinda can't help myself)
i promise i do not mind when people dislike or bounce off of my work. godfeels not for everyone! it is *very intentionally* not for everyone!!
it's when they start talking about harm and how "disturbing" it is that i get rankled. like the reader bears no responsibility for the act of continuing to click "next chapter" through countless content warnings, like it's my job as writer to protect their mental health. bitch i've got mental health too, get a fucking hobby
alright no one respond to this person anymore. we're done
sharing this last comment from them because just. wow this is kind of depressing. i went to college for media studies, i've actively been a critic for over 15 years at this point. i just want to reach through the screen and be like... my sister in christ, there is a huge difference between learning from a thing you don't like and enthusiastically inflicting a thing you really hate upon yourself. as a lover of trash and learner from other's mistakes, oh god, this is SUCH an unhealthy way to read
@sarahzedig SESTRO: ∞what a fascinating misinterpretation of the text.
@sarahzedig displeasedIndividual is such a shitty chum handle lol. why would you go out of your way to characterise yourself as a hater like that.
@sarahzedig uncreative chumhandle, terrible writing like a bad joke. Its existence bothers me. displeasedIndividual is a poorly written selfinsert. it's disturbing 
@sarahzedig displeasedIndividual
Riley!
@sarahzedig I can't put my finger on it but I think this person might have something against mentally ill people. just the vibe I'm getting
@sarahzedig AbleismSuperfan1997: This sucks... this keeps me up at night because I am mad about it... day and night I attempt to understand this piece, why it compels me, why it drives me to paroxysms of alienation, squealing and churning in the deepest core of my being. 4/5 stars
@sarahzedig Literature people and poets
@SophiaSurname you know i'm something of a literature people myself
@sarahzedig id say "girl needs therapy" but apparently therapy is "psuedoscience placebo" so i guess instead ill just say girl needs shaken at multiple g's until the plug stumbles its way back into the outlet in her boarded up haunted house of a noggin
@sarahzedig man i was going to make fun of this person but like. i'm staring at this message and all i feel is pity.
@Paravellex @sarahzedig it is a very sad way to live ones life
@sarahzedig fondly remembering the “oh what happens to dirk is SO problematic and bad and triggers me, specifically” pussy crowd and cry laughing. sorry about the freaks, goat
@sarahzedig so wait, did you post a new chapter recently or do you just *get* unhinged comments like this on the reg
@irisjaycomics no this is an older comment from the same person that i'd wanted to comment on initially but didn't, until they posted the comment that started this thread and i decided to be a petty bitch about it
that said i typically only get comments like this maybe three or four times a year, most haters do not have the fortitude to make it very far. which is pretty convenient for me tbh, this person had to read a LOT to arrive at this displeasure
@sarahzedig lol they're literally just caliborn.
@sarahzedig LMFAO
uu: I CANNOT BELIEVE. THAT THESE SMUTTY BITCHES. ARE FORCING ME. TO CONSUME THIS FILTH.
uu: IT WOULD BE ILLEGAL. FOR ME TO STOP, ACTUALLY. WHAT A BURDEN I BEAR.
@sarahzedig "I'm a transbian and I'm revolted by trans women having group sex"
