That kind of author's note is always annoying, but I find it even more annoying that every character (apart from 100% EVIL VILLAIN) has to be ~good and ~pure or have a good excuse, or the author catches a ton of abuse from the audience. It's damaging to the storytelling and character growth and the people who scream about this kind of stuff are going to catch the author out somehow anyway, as soon as they decide the author is a bad person. Usually over shipping crap.

OP: Oh no, I totally agree. I love having characters who are grey or just outright horrible people and I hate when an audience says 'this character is bad so the author is also bad'. But the thing is in this case, nobody was telling off the author for writing a bully. They were just saying "wow, i hope this bully gets their comeuppance i want to slap her" which is like... Normal reactions?

It actually sounds like potential for a really interesting character arc, in that flawed characters can be so much fun to dig into, storywise. Of course, the writer has to acknowledge it as a flaw to start with.
