My beef with the story wasn’t that you have included racist, white supremacist characters, there is nothing wrong with that, but the fact that each time I could have recalled black people actually appearing in your stories (admittedly I’ve missed the one you’ve linked) it was in an exclusively racially loaded setting, namely a racist person being punished by having to bottom for them like in this case or that old story about some old man, that is what I found really bothersome.

Nah, that’s totally fair criticism right there. It’s something that the entire MC/TF genre falls into really easily, and it bothers me too, which is why I end up whitewashing, which is also bad, but perhaps slightly not as bad? Still bad, regardless. This whole story was intended to skewer that trope a bit, but that is not at all visible from the excerpt I included here, and is only just started to be drawn out in the longer segment in the archive.
