Sure, people can and should write Mary Sue/self-insert fics, yup. But as soon as they post these fics on some website or other, they want others to read them and therefore should not complain if someone points out that the author's work is obnoxious crap.

Complaining about flamers is always okay. Those assholes need to learn how the backbutton works before they hurt themselves.

Yep. Backbutton is your friend.

Nah, if someone doesn't like it they can back-button out and keep it to themselves. People writing self-insert stuff are not hurting anyone.

Just like Mary Sue/self-insert writers have the freedom to post what they like, you're free to not read them. Why go out of your way to read what you know you don't like and taking time to tell them what you don't like?

Everyone wants to be liked at least just a little/from time to time, and it's never fun to be told something a creator made is flawed. Even worse when the criticism isn't someone doing it in good faith.

You're free to disregard niceties to say what you want, but I have to ask those who don't like Mary Sue/self-insert fics, why are you taking time to interact with something you know you don't like? If you enjoy talking shit about Mary Sue/self-insert fics you have avenues to do your bitch sessions without publicly embarrassing someone.

that's why there's an option to turn off comments baby ;)

I'm not going to read them but will stick for people writing and posting them.

What does get annoying is people posting "hey, read my fic! read my fic!" on reddit or whatever. The urge to let them know that it's obviously a self-insert and nobody cares about your teenage OCs is strong. I do not, but I have the urge to.

They'll grow up a bit and cringe over this later, I'm sure.

This, tbh. I'm so glad I never posted any of my self-insert stuff when I was a teenager because I look back on it now and realize that no one else would want to read what were basically my own personal fantasies. People who come to read fic about the canon characters aren't going to care about someone's self-insert, they want to read about the canon characters.

Yup. Sure, I can back-button out once I realise it's yet another piece of attention-seeking garbage, but it clogs up the searches for stuff that's actually worth reading and wastes everybody's time. My own crap is on a dead palm-top or something and never saw the light of an internet connection, as it should be.
If you don't want criticism, don't post shit. If you only want praise, only share this stuff with your friends (or not at all!) and hope none of them are honest ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
