You know, I think you have a valid concern here. But I think the way to address this is with the assumption that we have responsibilities to people occupying physical bodies (regardless of whether anyone thinks they have a soul or has ideas about where it came from) that do not apply to fictional people that we are merely speaking of or writing about.

Fictional characters are much more untouchable, in that sense, and I think it's good for everyone involved when fandom recognizes that they are.

I like a lot of characters that die bloody, gruesome deaths in canon, and it was a comfort to me, especially as a little kid, to feel like whatever the author did in their story, the version of that character that existed in my mind and memory was separate from that. I had strong feelings about fiction, but they never led me to mistreat actual people over what they claimed various characters experienced, because that was a key difference - if you throw a rock at my friend, or threaten to, I will retaliate. But if you write about a rock being thrown at my favorite character, I could always shrug that off as "what you thought ought to happen" and not actual harm to them.
