Oh no - actually the kerfuffle began over dub-con/non-con, which is totally fair. Well... except that there was no outcry when I actually posted the part that was dub-con/non-con. Only *after* I had posted a short note re. the scene in question, two chapters later.
...and after that, everybody and their sister got pissed off at other tag-related things. That's when the anger at infidelity and H/C came up. And the people pissed off because when I said dub-con they assumed I meant character X and not Y. Oh and I had a few people tell me they weren't going to finish the story because they wanted a happy ending, and I couldn't make it a happy ending now, and besides when I said "angst" they didn't think I meant actual angst.
Oy vey.
I felt like I could spend the next few hours vetting every chapter and combing the net for triggers and squicks and then writing an exhaustive summary that went something like, "Steve finds Bucky and they live in a cave so claustrophobia warning and then they fight so fight warning but it's OK because they make up so make-up sex warning and then Bucky eats a poisonous plant so vomit warning but he's OK and Steve gets him through it so hurt/comfort but it's Steve comforting Bucky and then Steve gets sad because Bucky used to comfort him so PTSD warning and then there's a plot twist so plot twist warning and the plot twist is that Bucky wasn't really Bucky but the Red Skull so shock warning but then the real Bucky appears but Steve doesn't believe him so distrust warning..."
And there would still be somebody mad at me because the Red Skull is red so I should have put a warning in there for people who are bothered by the colour red.
::sigh::
Like I said, the dub-con/non-con was fine - I did my best but I screwed up, yelling at me over that was fine.
Some of the other stuff? Started getting ridiculous. IMHO.
