I've lost track of how many times I see those people worming their way into discussions of non-ideological media, and just shitting it all up. "Character X reads as autistic and I love it" "Character Y is soooo trans-coded and valid" "Character Z radiates enby energy uwu" and all that shit. I mean, just try talking about something like fucking New Vegas without a bunch of furries/trannies screeching about how iconic the game is for their "communities" for some inexplicable reason.

I'm in the process of writing something I hope to be published someday, and I have to admit that if it ever happens, I'm a little worried about these annoying freaks latching on. There's at least one character that I know would be a magnet for tranny idpol shit, because she's a blatant tomboy, and we all know how those fuckers want to use that archetype as a vector for pushing their delusions. But going the opposite direction is fucking annoying, too. I want to tell a story, not push propaganda where the narrative keeps stopping so the characters can namedrop YWNBAW. I guess the ideal would be to have something that stands on its own merits, that nobody can claim to be pushing some sociopolitical agenda, but at the same time, just quietly alienates wokes/trannies/idpol faggots.
 
Be a chud outside of your work and these people will drive each other out of your work's community
 
Who is your work aimed at? You can avoid it by going towards genres and areas they don't care about.

No matter what, you'll always have fan reactions you don't like. Make peace with them and yourself. Focus on those who like the work regardless. If you feel like being rude you can be, but you can be gentle and say "no, that's not what I meant, please do not give me credit for something I didn't do on purpose, find trans characters proper to support" and or "It would be like me projecting that you're a gender you're not because you do something masc or fem coded". Just depends on how stealth you want to be. If you already say retard in public they might run away or tell you to fuck off before you even get shit.
 
In my actual place of work? I follow the advice my dad gave me when I first started working, never discuss religion, never discuss politics. If someone tries getting me to talk about either, i politely but firmly tell them I don’t feel comfortable discussing those topics at work. If they insist, I just flat out ignore them and don’t respond to anything they say.
 
You piss on them in public.

Unironically? Either create something that couldn't possibly appeal to them or just stop caring. If people afterwards say "OMG they're so gay/trans/tard-coded" just tell them they're wrong, or ignore them. New Vegas isn't less good because it's loved by retards, that just means it has such a broad appeal that retards can enjoy it too.

Be content you are taking their money and they do or don't know your bastardry too!
 
I feel like no matter how normie friendly or even based your work is, you're always going to have some nutjob attach themselves to something in it. I think LinkinParkxNaruto[AMV] has the right idea in just not engaging with your fandom at all, especially online. If you have to or want to, do so in a strictly professional manner. Many authors, especially older ones who might not necessarily understand how absolutely mental people are on the net, make the mistake of enabling their fans or accepting their interpretations as valid even if it goes against the written word. I get not wanting to treat your customers as simply consoomers or wallets with legs, but I feel like too many creatives treat their fanbases as friends or equals which gives the fans the impression they can somehow influence a work they love.

JKR is a good example in someone who did exactly that for many years and the moment she stepped slightly out of that bubble, they started circling her like vultures waiting for the next hot take they can misconstrue. People who would bend your work to their own whims to an obsessive degree will do so with you personally as well for the smallest offences.

Don't give your fans too much power over your own work. I think most people who are not terminally online are smart enough to understand that it's the author calling the shots, not them.
 
By being like WingsOfRedemption and going "A'ight mawds, ban anyone who's woke!" or by trying to publish your work in shithole banana countries. Aka by being a fucking nigger retard.

You don't want to keep anyone from your work. All publicity is good publicity, most of the time at least. If you're doing something for dem shekels, you don't want to keep anyone away. Shekels that come from woke moralists are the same as the shekels that come from /pol/ tards.

If you can't handle woke people commenting woke stuff, you're basically the other side of the coin of the Tumblr tards who threw a fit over Steven Universe trolls from 4chan.
 
People you don't like are gonna like your work and vice-versa. Its just not something you can control and any attempt to is likely to end up in you being the object of ridicule, like that pepe guy who didn't like those evil right wingers getting their filthy hands on his frog.
 
I would say to just have a backbone and if you ever see some Troon or associated retard reading the wrong thing into your work, tell them they are wrong. Go further even and let them know how stupid and vapid their retarded take is.
Imagine if JK Rowling had not pandered to dipshits for over a decade.
A good example is the introduction to Lord of the Flys. There was an audio book version that the author narrated, and he explained why there were no girls in the book. He did not want the question of sex or anything even close to that to come up because there was no room for it in the story he was telling.
Do something similar to that. Or just dedicate your work to Null and the Kiwi Farms.
 
Put in really sneaky dogwhistles. Like think of the goblins in Harry Potter for instance, or Watto in the Star Wars prequels. They'll find them and they'll get paranoid as hell about you being a secret wrongthinker, but publically ignore them. Keep dropping these dogwhistles in all promotion you do (like a 14% percent sale on August 8 or talking about burning, looting, and murdering, etc.), never celebrate woke holidays like Pride Month, Juneteenth, and they will go absolutely ballistic and cannibalize each other. It's a far more effective strategy than just coming out as based and redpilled.

I've done bits of this on leftist forums I post on (haven't gone all in on this) and it's pretty fun to watch the confused responses.
 
I've been writing/illustrating a fantasy story for over a year now, largely for my own amusement. I'm not sure I'll ever actually publish it anywhere; since a) the publishing industry is pozzed, b) putting it on Amazon means it will get lost in a sea of poorly written LitRPGs, and c) my writing is nothing special to begin with. However, I have given a bit of thought to this question before.

Ultimately, I think a person's life experiences and viewpoints will inform their writing to at least some degree. I think that if you already dislike annoying social justice types, it's likely that elements of whatever story you're telling will already push them away somewhat. You could even lean into this and outright make fun of them in-story, so long as your setting and tone allows it. For example, the world I constructed to tell my stories in has many aspects that are meant to mirror or lampoon our own world, kind of like how Pratchett did in his Discworld series. To help illustrate this to reader, I had the first villains my characters encounter be a Weathermen/Antifa-esque terrorist group. I didn't make them one dimensional- they have more depth than just being a parody of violent communists, and frankly I was probably more fair to them then they deserved. But even though I put in the work to flesh them out as characters (and even made one of them extremely likeable), I imagine any hardcore idealogues would be put off by their inclusion regardless.

However, I don't think worrying about the kind of fans you may attract is good use of time- especially before you even post your work for others to see. There's no guarantee anybody will read your work, much less SJWs. You can include elements that you think might deter them from reading if you're so inclined, but your focus should always be on telling the best possible story you can. Once you have an audience who enjoys your work, even if it's just a couple of friends you share it with online, then you can think about how to properly cultivate a fanbase.
 
This is a scarecrow for beginning/low level artists. You are worried in the same way that a 16 year old is worried that someone will steal their shit OC so you plaster your signature in huge letters across the middle. Nobody is going to "cancel" you, and if someone whines you literally can just ignore them.
