If this secret is genuine, and not the work of a skillful troll, then it's shockingly mean-spirited. I ship a pairing that has tons of antis, and even the antis don't radiate seething bitterness the way this secret does. Jesus.

Nah, I get OP. Yoor multi-chaptered fic is your love child and you have to start it by giving credit to someone for a 3 sentence imagine. OP probably doesn't even like that person.

You give credit for the idea, not the work done on the story. I don't understand why people are being so weird about this. You're not pretending that the idea giver wrote the story, you're just telling people what inspired the fic. It's not hard, and it doesn't take away from your story or give credit for the story to the idea giver. If the idea giver thinks they deserve credit for more than just the idea, I mean, they're going to believe that either way so there's no sense in depriving an audience of a fanwork over that.

I'm guessing the difference of opinion on this is a difference of perspective.

One group sees it as a starting point on the work done to create the fic. Without the start, the idea, you don't have a fic, therefore the imagineer should get credit as a contributor, if not an equal. The more involved and elaborate it is, the more credit is due and the more respectful the fic writer should be towards that.

The other sees it as someone claiming ownership of an idea in order to get internet praise. Unlike a prompt in a kinkmeme that's actively collaborative and typically anonymous, or getting inspiration from an existing fully written fic, there is an expectation of credit and gratitude as the 'fee' for providing a scenario. However, this group sees it as more of fic commission minus payment to the fic writer, in which case the fic writer should be getting the thanks and credit as their 'fee'.

In reality neither is quite right, and I've got a feeling this argument will go on for a while.
