To @tkdelusionaltk , and to anyone who needs this reminder:
I originally tried to say this directly, but since I was blocked, I’m sharing it here—not to argue, but because I believe it’s something that should be heard.
Every writer on Wattpad is a human being. Many are young, new, or simply writing from the heart. It’s okay to have opinions, and it’s okay to dislike a story. But it’s not okay to curse at the author, attack them personally, or make cruel comments about their life or family.
You don’t know these authors personally. When your words start to go lower and lower in tone, you can’t expect people to keep treating you with patience and kindness forever. Respect is mutual. When you keep crossing the line, it’s unfair to demand grace in return.
Being polite isn’t a big ask—it’s the bare minimum we owe each other in any space, especially a creative one like Wattpad. If you don’t like something, scroll away. But if you choose to stay, let your words reflect some basic decency. You never know what someone is going through.
I’m posting this here because I was blocked after trying to say it with respect. But it still matters—and now, it stays here, where it won’t be deleted or ignored.
Let’s do better. Let’s make this a space where creativity isn’t met with cruelty.
