"Not necessarily because your reply was rude, but because there's this culture that fanwriters must be super deferential to reviewers or face the consequences"

This doesn't seem like a good reason IMO. I would agree with "could have worded it better" but I don't think "because fanwriters need to be super deferential to reviewers because culture is a good reason for that. It seems like it boils down to "you should do this because people may not like it" rather than something like "you should do it because it's taking the higher road."

Honestly I would find it unhealthy for writers to always defer to reviewers because reviewers might...accuse you of something or stop reading. Now I'm not saying they should be rude, but the way that was put it almost seems like "be a doormat or they'll leave you" which is not a healthy way to interact with people. If your main reason for always being super deferential to people is because you literally fear what they could say to you, well that's a problem.

Authors should be polite but also have a backbone.
