“Learn to write for yourself,” doesn’t seem very hostile to me. I think it’s great advice for writers who are suffering due to lack of external validation.

Exactly, because you can never guarantee that you'll get the specific validation that you want. External validation should be a bonus, not your entire motivation, or else you're guaranteed to be unhappy most of the time.

are suffering due to lack of external validation.

That is hostile.

I don't think it was? There are writers who do suffer from a lack of external validation, that's just a fact, and the comment wasn't saying all writers are like this.

Some fic authors absolutely suffer because they are not getting the external validation they’re seeking. Acknowledging their situation is no more hostile than giving them good advice that’s been proven to work for authors for centuries.

I don't think so, but I couod see how you got there. Tone online can be really subjective and often comes down to your own biases.
