    okay I had to go back and find the thread that you're replying to and I, AS THE AUTHOR AND CREATIVE HEAD OF THIS FIC, get final say.

    I am perfectly okay and glad that they pointed that out. Since this fic was written (which was a while ago) I have had some scary things happen to me that have to do with suicide. Multiple friends attempting, friends getting baker acted, and losing a close family member to it. If something /I/ wrote, happened to be the LAST STRAW that pushes someone to even attempt, I wouldn't be able to handle it. I don't want to do that to someone. I want to support and help people. Yes, fiction is not reality. Yes things that usually trigger me don't if it's fiction. And /I/ can dissociate myself from fiction to be able to read some really fucked up shit and not be bothered by it. But that's me. That's not everyone.

    Not knowing you're going to see something that could possibly send you spiraling, in a media that brings you joy (like reading fanfiction) is probably, I assume, REALLY STARTLING and not okay.

    So, by deleting what I wrote (which was TWO WORDS, MIND YOU.) I am showing empathy. I'm not going to be that snobby about my art and I will take constructive criticism, which is what that was and I'm not okay with your lame 4chan rhetoric. It's not that serious, fam. It would be one thing if I was bullied off of this site for posting a whole fic that upset someone. But it was two words that I changed to say something less harsh but just as snarky, and I bet you probably didn't even notice where those two words were even meant to be so like chill :)))))))))) and don't talk to my fans like that tyvm.

      yeah yeah i know that. but if you have something you wrote, fiction wise. it shouldnt push someone to attempt. its not real, its fiction. it shouldnt even trigger someone for hells sake. (unless your sensitive then wow good for you for having little things upset you). it was fine in your fic anyway and my view about it was that it shouldnt have been changed.

        Stablepumpkinguts, Can you just drop it and respect there decision? Even though I can see why you got mad at the person cause they asked for something to be removed, I Don't see why you got to make a big deal out of it ://
        Let them be jfc.

        You are right, it shouldn't that's why it's considered a mental illness lol. You're comparing how you view fiction with how someone else views it. If your logic was actually how things were, then no one would cry during sad movies because IT'S JUST FICTION, RIGHT? IT'S NOT REAL. Well, some people cry and some people don't. It's the same thing. This was literally TWO WORDS I took out. They don't change anything in the fic, I replaced them with something just as snarky that worked so it's literally not a problem lol. I used to have the "r" slur in this too and I changed it as soon as someone pointed it out. Like, this time around, it's not a big deal and literally does nothing but make the fic slightly more accessible to people. It's like having someone peer edit it. you feel me
