        Got a scam comment on a short comedic oneshot making fun of how dumb the female lead and her helper are "criticizing" me for how no female characters had their own arcs or motivations and offering to help me "fix" it. At first I thought they were a real person mad I mocked their fav. In your case it's obvious they didn't read the fic before commenting. In mine I wonder if the programmer is just targeting fics with female characters in it and hoping someone will take the bait. The fic was for a fandom well known for having a female lead. At least mine didn't leave kudos. I don't get them enough to know if that's normal or not.

        I am desperate for friends, but I am not a bot, so seeing social media, which is SUPPOSED to bond people together, used like this? Breaks my heart.

          I get your sentiment but AO3 isn't a social media website.

              You don't appear to understand and there might be a language barrier. Just because you can comment on AO3 and can have a conversation with other fans if they respond, that doesn't make it a social media website. Its primary function is as a fannish archive as I've seen other users reiterate a billion times elsewhere. Its goal is not to facilitate discussion, which is what social media is primarily for, i.e. Twitter and Tumblr. You can write fiction on them, but that's not what they were initially designed for and I find reading fic on Tumblr an absolute pain in the ass. If you're still confused, I recommend checking out the AO3 subreddit; they're really good at explaining this kind of stuff.
