Also the author knew fully well that any work she put out there, whether it’d be art, story, or even a tweet or picture, people will critique. It’d be stupid and really naive of her not expect this, and honestly? If she is this sensitive to criticism, calling it ‘bullying’, I wouldn’t want to be around such a sensitive person at all.
I can’t speak for anyone but myself, and if anyone is personally bullying the author they should be ashamed. However, bringing up valid critiques of the author’s work is not bullying. Bringing up concerns about where this is headed, of constructive criticism about what you don’t like about something is not bullying.
For example, if someone said ‘hey I don’t like how you’re being loud and distracting when we’re in the library’ that’s not bullying. That’s constructive criticism. That’s different where bullying is unwarranted and comes from almost nowhere.
I really think you need to clarify and restructure what your definition of bullying is, because otherwise, in the real world, you’re never going to learn and grow as a person if you blame everyone who doesn’t hold a positive opinion of you as ‘bullying’. How are you going to grow if you don’t learn from your mistakes? You’d be a shitty human being.
