Maybe because RL is stressful enough that people shouldn't have to worry about this kind of shit during internet playtime.

I had a friend with a sorta Sueish OC who was very defensive about them. I never did tell that friend what I really thought. Asked me to be their beta and I told them I might not be the best fit.

They eventually found someone else, moved on grew up a bit and moved to another fandom.

Did I get frustrated about it? Sure. But I dunno if I'd call it "stress".

It seems to me like OP's stress can be avoided in a way that doesn't require parting ways with her friend.

And I'm not seeing anybody say "omg drop this person right now." Only that "hey, this could be a sign of other problems, you might wanna take another look at your friendship with this person." Why is that so unreasonable?

Because people in internet fandom tend to toss away friendships for really really stupid reasons like "we don't ship the same thing", "I hate her taste in fanfic" or "she's just not a good writer".

So what?

Nobody is required to stay friends with anybody, for any reason. It's better people part ways than keep up an idiotic charade of being friends with someone they don't like, just to appear less shallow than they really are.
