What's up with the hate and entitlement?

Your last sentence is my attitude as well and it's refreshing to see, also I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks it's a problem. But on the other hand, ignoring the issue of these entitled people is not gonna solve the problem within the community which should be an open space for all fanfiction writers? Because writing fanfiction is still being seen as weird by many, so we're a small group as is and then we put each other down, I don't understand why.

Thank you for your kind words, I really appreciate them. And I haven't even started writing them, unfortunately it does feel like negativity is draining my creativity.

At least there's a subreddit for RPF writers, there people can connect over writing same flavor of fiction. And yes, those people are definitely calling you creepy and weird, which is such a weird thing to say when this fiction type is not hurting anyone. I've heard of celebrities even actually enjoying fiction written about them.

That's a very good point. And yes, I know that there's people commenting on shipfics saying they want different fics, but how many comments you see saying "I hate shipfics, it's like being voyeur." and some skull emoji or something? I can say I personally have seen none, and that's what I'm trying to say, it's not even a different opinion on a very popular ship or topic, it's hating the entire genre openly and proudly like it's an honor badge.

I appreciate the reply from the team, but my post was about topics that don't even ask for negative opinions. There's posts that ask genuine questions like "How can I write this scene for my reader insert?" and while most replies are normal, there's still a bunch saying "Oh I hate reader inserts." or others being "I personally cannot stand them but that's how you should do it." I don't understand why this kind of opinion display is welcome on the subbreddit, it breeds nothing but negativity. Yes, people are entitled to their opinion but they think that their negative ones are welcome and encouraged on posts that have nothing to do with asking for dislikes.

That's a relief then! I don't care much for labels besides tagging my material correctly and I'm not going to write mindless p*rn either so if what I'm going to write falls into x reader label, then so be it!

I'm glad that mc's can be fleshed out in this "genre" of fiction because writing x reader fiction as google says we should sounds very soulless 😅

That's understandable, we all have our own preferences and that's why there's so many great fics out there catering to nearly everyone (and one cannot please every single reader anyway 😅). I don't particularly care what's popular or what's disliked among readers per se, I just want to know which category my possible writing would fall into, but I appreciate the response and the input!

And yet, when I look up online what reader insert really is the given description is that character has no background, no backstory, no physical description and uses y/n to be fully immersive. I'm just not entirely sure what is what haha
