I’m truly disappointed by the way some audiences are treating IF authors. It’s disheartening to see someone pour passion into a project and bravely share it with the public, only to be met with harassment—even when it’s disguised as “playful flirting”.

What’s especially disturbing is how often people blatantly ignore an author’s clearly stated boundaries. When someone repeatedly says that certain messages make them uncomfortable, continuing to send them isn’t just inconsiderate, it’s harmful, disrespectful and frankly, disgusting.

The fact that the harassment escalated to the point where an author felt compelled to delete their blog is incredibly upsetting.

I had hoped that people would have basic decency to show respect, but clearly, that was wishful thinking. It might seem like fun and games to be sending such messages, but I assure you, it is not. Especially when someone had already stated what they were comfortable with and what they weren’t.

I truly hope that in the future, people learn to respect boundaries and not blatantly ignore them. Thank you very much.
