The author really needs to not comment on it, it's natural for readers to dislike your characters for a variety of reasons.

And I agree that being gay is NOT an excuse. Gay people can be bullies, gay people can be horrible people, being part of an oppressed group is not a get out of jail free card.

Yup, authors should not be telling people who to like or not like.

I agree with OP as well. I would also add that both of these things together seem to suggest a really immature writer, which makes it hard to trust them to tell a good satisfying story. I hope they learn better.

Yeah I understand if you love a character you created and it even kind of makes you sad to hear people hate them, but the instant you have even one fan of your work you need to learn to hold back on your opinions and let people take in the story how they will.

It's also like... the author should expect this to some degree when you have a character who is a bully. Don't expect all your readers to be able to look past that because for some people it's going to be a deal breaker.

This. If a writer is so in love with their own character that they can't accept that some of their readers don't like them, that's a warning sign that the narrative is also going to take the side of the character no matter what they do, and that's what's called? A Mary Sue/Gary Stu.
