It's about advising caution, not about "never involve yourself with anything negative ever."

I see your points though and this has honestly gone way beyond the point that I want to debate anymore because I honestly don't care *that* much what people do with their fic. Thanks for responding.

But the point is, you're "advising caution" for something that's perfectly innocuous and implying it's a major risk, which isn't that far from "never involve yourself with anything negative ever." Especially since the caution you're advising is that people simply not share their self insert fics at all in case they're targeted by a troll and driven off the internet! It's like telling people not to drive cars, because they might be hit by a semi. That goes well beyond mere caution into paranoia, which isn't helpful advice because it's not representative of reality.

It's nice you're not that bothered, but honestly, I think your personal feelings about self insert fic are really coloring this discussion. It's fine you don't understand why people might want to share it. You don't have to understand other peoples' motives for what they do, but if that's the case, you're not really well equipped to give them advice about their situation.

fyi i agree with your point and i don't understand why people make such a big deal out of it. i'm not that old but i'm still surprised by how much some people share on the internet. i rarely give out my real first name, much less my last name, nor do i add people from my online communities on facebook and if i published something self-indulgent i would probably make sure to do it under an alt account, because i value being one step removed from everything.

i think there is this notion that if you write something it has to be for an audience so publishing it somewhere is the logical next step, i don't think many people are aware that writing for yourself is just as valid AND you don't run the risk of people insulting literally you by insulting and hating on your self-insert.
