sometimes people are such morons. a lot of readers have no idea how badly the feedback they give can affect the writer. and i know this is a topic that has been chewed through a thousand times already, so let me chew through it again.

if you don't have any good or constructive feedback to give, don't give feedback in the first place. i don't care about your intentions, i don't care how much you think you have the right to give shitty criticism, just don't.

you're always quick to open your mouth and go "bUT", but now's the time to shut up and listen.
yes, your feedback does make an impact. surprise surprise, there's a person behind that screen, behind those words, behind that story.

and because it's a person, it can hurt. YOUR WORDS can hurt it. so be careful with them. because you have no idea just how much they can hurt. there's people out there that QUIT writing, quit what they LOVE because 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲 was to insensitive to just -

shut. up.

in conclusion, if anyone ever gives you hateful comments and "feedback", kindly point them in my direction so i can slap their asses in a very non-sexual manner.

and let's hope this thread reaches the ones it has to, despite my very small reach.
