No, I don't think you understand. In the crossover fandom (whose story I'm inspired by), the dude is LYNCHED by civilians (he's military).

The WOC in my other fandom is black. Initially, I thought his role would be great for her because she's part of a pseudo military organization and she has almost exactly the same career specialty as the dude, along with sharing personality characteristics.

And it's not like I can cut it out because the lynching scene is absolutely pivotal to the plot, but can you imagine if I had a black female character lynched? I'm not even going to touch it. Which really sucks because the original story is amazingly well-written, but I don't want to deal with the drama that this would inevitably stir up.

I can understand your reticence in this case, but if it was made clear that there was a different motivation than racial for the lynching it could still be done. Jim Crow was part of the last century. Holding onto its mindset for whatever reason helps no one move forward.

Oh, it's definitely not racial in the story (the dude accidentally dooms a town to die by taking part in a mission without all the facts). So it wouldn't be racially motivated in the WOC's case either. But it's still not worth it -- her fans are extremely…well…let's say "protective" and have attacked people for (what I felt) were largely innocuous things -- like wanting the the WOC to get a bigger character arc, for instance.

So…yeah…it's not happening. Damned if you do. Damned if you don't.
