Yeah. I know authors who have been badgered for things that their characters have said in anger or events that happened during action or things that are done by the PROTAGONIST. And some of them have folded and re-written their fics into something much less engaging. I'm not just talking about misogyny, which seems to be what most people in the thread are on about. I'm talking about angry characters just yelling insults at one another and the reader getting all angry because someone got insulted.

Honestly, I've seen this across a few fandoms in the last year or so. There's a difference between awareness bringing interesting discussion to problematic aspects of a story and force bleaching dogpiling. Fics are getting very, very vanilla. Even the porn. I see a lot of them lacking in good protagonists, good conflict and anything emotionally engaging. Considering on the net you're bound to get dogpiled for even subtle and believable reactions from characters that drift outside of the completely open minded spectrum, it's getting really dull.
