Except that nobody said the reader was unreasonable for having their own opinion, so your strawman does not apply here. It's reasonable to have ship preferences. It's not really reasonable to complain that an author is doing something remiss by not writing your OTP.

[(Anonymous)]

They said that the reader was "ridiculous" which to me = unreasonable.

[(Anonymous)]

Where? It's not in the secret, and the only time the word "ridiculous" comes up in this entire thread is in the context of people saying things like:

it's ridiculous that people would complain you're not writing their favorite pairing

and

It's ridiculous to expect someone to write your ship because "it's better"

Neither of which is what you claimed, i.e. that it's ridiculous (or unreasonable) to have an opinion about a pairing.

AYRT

well, you claim that "nobody said the reader was unreasonable for having their own opinion"

yet that is how I interpreted the comment

[(Anonymous)]

I think you're imposing your own meaning on what's written. That comment specifically says: "it's ridiculous that people would complain you're not writing their favorite pairing" (emphasis mine).

If someone is actually complaining that an author isn't writing their OTP, that's not the same thing feeling like you wished they would.

[(Anonymous)]

The complainer is criticizing the writer for who they pair, which seems kinda douchey to me.

[(Anonymous)]

"I wish this fic had x" is not "writer is awful for not writing x!!"

[(Anonymous)]

This is true, but you have no way of knowing which situation the OP had to deal with.
