I hope you won't mind one more comment, Rei, but I know how you must feel at being attacked for something innocent. I was once attacked for writing pedophilia (when no one in my story was under the age of 27!). Some people just see it everywhere because it is in their minds.
In some Western sub-cultures (and I use that term because they don't represent all or even most Westerners), people have been educated since childhood to fear and condemn anything that doesn't conform to their tiny little, arbitrary world-view. Sadly, they were taught that only they know "the truth" and no one else in the world has a right to live their lives another way. I think they are to be pitied but certainly not listened to. They are merely ignorant and their thoughts are not important.
I am so sorry for your hurt but I do hope you will heal and learn to ignore these people. I ignored the ones who wrongfully accused me and have no association with them. Since then, LJ and my friends have brought me much joy and love--a million times more than the hateful people who hurt me. They do not exist for me now, only my friends and open-minded people exist in my LJ world. I hope you will continue freely to share your talent and love with us and I wish you the very, very best. :)
