Hi. I'm new to writing fanfic, and I wrote an AU fic in which my favorite character is a trans lesbian, but I received three very transphobic comments. I don't want to repeat them because they were really mean but one of them >!called me a groomer and homophobic!< for making this character trans.

I was complaining about this to my friend earlier, but my friend said not to delete them because that would be ignoring criticism which you're apparently not supposed to do as a writer. They're really upsetting to read every time I click on my own fic, though! I made a burner reddit account because I'm really embarrassed to ask this, and I don't want to draw attention to my fic. But is deleting transphobic comments considered ignoring criticism?
