it's not as dramatic as you're probably thinking, the aforementioned character is a politician from a very wealthy family that canonically uses corporal punishment on children and is quite classist, and I'd also seen some JP speaker on Twitter talking about how his campaign posters bear similarity to JP right-wing sloganeering, so I'd kind of had this idea boiling around in the back of my head, and then offhandedly mentioned it in some Discord conversation.
A bunch of people were like "M I thought you liked X Character", "M I thought you were all on board 'what if X Character was an egg'", some people (maybe jokingly?) called me an anti?, at least one person was like "I like X Character, are you insulting me? Insinuating that I'M a right-winger?
It was weird and I just sort of dipped on that server after that. The thing was, it was supposed to be anti-free, kink tomato, your fictional tastes don't determine what you like in fiction, so that was incredibly shocking to me.
