Man this is what happens when I forget to check inboxes!
Do you remember, dear readers, that review on my super old Harry Potter fic I got a few weeks ago? The one that found Hermione's breasts disgusting? Linked here
Oh man, I missed her reply to me!
How old are you? Your level of maturity seems to be that of a twelve year old. All I asked was that you add a warning because not everyone wants to read about a woman getting fucked in a story about gay men. I wrote that I had loved your story except for that part. This is how you treat your readers? I have no quarrel with you I only wanted to state why I had to discontinue reading. I didn't write "EHRMAGURD LYKE I HATE BEWBS AND U OFENDED ME CHANG IT U CUNT." I simply asked if you COULD change it. Thanks for being such a kind and considerate author who listens to the opinions of their readers.
p.s. You really must be butthurt
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA. Just. AHAHAHAHAHA. Wow.
My reply, which is much less thought out than the last one:
I'm sorry, but you didn't merely ask me to do anything. You told me that the female form NEEDED a warning, all the while calling it disgusting (your word, not mine) and I told you that you had plenty of ammunition if you'd actually told me that I'd forgotten to label it correctly. Labeling is something I'm never going to argue with but if you come to me and tell me that women are gross then I'm going to take offense.
I get walking into a story that you thought was about one thing and turned out to be another, which I'd argue wasn't actually what happened, but to tell me that women need WARNINGS is going to offend me. You can bet you managed to offend me without calling me names and hurling epithets. You offended me because god forbid a woman exist where you don't want her to.
I am completely for proper labeling of fanfic, you don't want proper labels, you want to shove women so far away from your eyes that the IDEA of them shouldn't be mentioned near you, because something about them 'disgusts' you. I will not let that attitude dictate any of my actions. And if you dare call me immature because I took offense at your obvious misogyny (you lost any argument that would try and say you feel otherwise when you used the word disgusting), well then I think that says more about you than it ever could about me. Frankly, if you feel me getting mad at the idea that women need warnings to exist is being butthurt, you've got a whole lot of maturity problems on your own that maybe you shouldn't criticize mine.
I'll probably get around to fixing the labels, but frankly, helping your delicate sensibilities is pretty low on my priorities right now.
And now I'm going to take my obviously immature 30 year old ass, have some cheese and crackers and watch more west wing reruns so I can pretend that Mike Casper a.k.a. Phil Coulson is running around saving people's lives!
