** Alice's editor threatens her with being fired, blacklisted from critic work on other newspapers and sued for libel with the express purpose of bleeding her bone dry so she won't try to use Patreon-subscribed work if she cannot keep the poison off her pen (fair reviews saying X thing is bad are still okay, just not write an Creator/AynRand-novel-length vitriolic diatribe).

** Alice's reviews ends up seriously hurting people's feelings, and her inability and unwillingness to recognize how hurtful her actions are, ''especially once they start leading into genuine threats and attacks'' by her horde of rabidly devoted fans, only ends up alienating her from everyone else as being a genuinely terrible person in addition to being a terrible critic.
Added DiffLines:
** [[EveryoneHasStandards Alice is genuinely horrified at what is happening]], and desperately does everything she can to try to tone things down and make things right, clarifying that her reviews are not absolute truths, only her own opinions, and that it doesn't give people the right to attack others if they disagree with her.
