Question for Writeblrs

What's your thought on problematic fiction? I don't mean, like, things by J.K. Rowling problematic, I mean my story has Character A, who's a woman, dating Character B, who's a male. Character A meets and befriends Character C, another woman. There's a bit of an emotional affair but Character A doesn't realize it, Character C kisses her and she immediately stops being friends with her. Turns out, Character C is a stalker who actually wants to be with Character B and was just using Character A. I realize it's a portrayal of marginalized people in a bad light, but I personally think characters should be allowed to be 'bad' even if they are part of a marginalized group - which I'm a part of, by the way - but I wanted to know what others opinions on it is and if y'all think it's a good idea to post about it or if I should just keep it to myself and friends?

Your heartbeat was situated between the stars and I wish I was as pretty as the sky in the afterglow, pretty as the lunar eclipses, or as the Milky Way disk.

Darling, if I was, maybe I'd finally be worthy of your paintbrushes.

Maybe, you'd take time fall in love.

Destiny. Carth Alowen wanted to kick it in the balls and watch it die a slow agonising death.

Today, his twenty fifth birthday, Destiny reminded him he had a quest to finish. Today his life would change … or would go back to what it was before … or maybe this time it would head down a different path. For almost a thousand deaths and as many rebirths he had wished for release, a chance to rest, to move on and not remember. But not in this life.

It’s so frustrating when you find snippets like this in your notebook and wonder where the hell you were going with it. (yells at brain to show me). Gah, I need to make better notes.

I want beta readers, but I'm also aware my story is too 'problematic' for some people and a lot of people think queer characters or any type or marginalized character has to be a 'good' person and not, like, a stalker who pretends to be in love with a girl to get to her boyfriend who is the one she's actually stalking and I'm not sure if my MC will be a lesbian or bisexual so having a questioning character get back with her partner of the opposite sex at the end could also be seen as problematic and I really want feedback but I feel like no one will want to read it if they know the gist and I want to warn them about what happens in case it makes them uncomfortable and aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

heyy guys long time no see… i have been getting questions about the why me series and if I’ve abandoned her or not since its been so long since I’ve updated. There has been a lot going on in my personal life and this series just takes a lot out of me she’s my favourite that I’ve written this far and I want to put out a certain quality of story that I haven’t been able to write so far because of everything going on irl. So I will be dusting off this story and going back to writing her I don’t know how long the hiatus will continue but we should be back hopefully soon thank you guys for staying with me and this series and hopefully I’ll have an update for yall soon!!
