Reply to comment by WK_Adams in [WP] A Black Mirror style story about the dangers of new social media technology, except it's set in Renaissance Italy and about the printing press. by TheColourOfHeartache

This story was not at all what I expected, but it was sweet and sad and very, very well-written. Amazing job!

My only worry here is that it might look like I'm drawing a connection between homosexuality, lead poisoning, and murder. Hope it doesn't come across that way; definitely not my intention.

Oh, frankly I hadn't even noticed the lead poisoning, but that does explain a lot!

For me it didn't come across that way. I'd probably never even consider that connection since homosexuality just exists and isn't a "disease" or whatever. But I guess that maybe misguided people might make that connection.
