It's not just the gay community the backlash comes from (I'm saying this as a bisexual myself), though. It's anyone who watches/reads/consumes the product. And if only a couple of people are unhappy, it's still enough to make most non-minority creators to go, "you know what? I'm not gonna chance it. I don't need people telling me I'm homophobic or racist or a privileged white/straight/neurotypical/cisgender/what-have-you. I'm going to tell the stories I want the way I want, but cut down on anything that can be seen as offensive". And that's certainly a valid viewpoint.

There are plenty of stories of fic writers with EDs or mental disorders that experience backlash for writing about things they've directly experienced. People get snapped at for writing trans characters that don't meet reader's standards. Whites get told to stfu when they create a character who uses AAVE. People who make mistakes on foreign languages get them forced down their throats or told they're appropriating and insulting another person's culture. Most creators aren't looking for trouble, and the newer ones usually don't take criticism well. So they avoid doing what might stir up the vocal few, because, sometimes, they're the only ones who say anything at all.

I think you know a particularly nice group, but I also think there are a whole lot of people who complain about things that don't apply to them and would prefer everything be done only by people who have directly experienced those things.
