WRITERS:
I honestly absolutely encourage you to write and push you creativity limits. But be mindful of what you are projecting. I do NOT tolerate any of these; I will call you out on these things and I will not hold back. If I call you out none of these, I am just a terribly blunt person.
READERS:
I encourage you to call others out on these problems, as well. Young writers may not be aware of this, so it's up to us, as peers to let them and other readers know why this is wrong. "Be the change you want to see in the world." I hope we see eye to eye.
