Sorry about the gibberish, I forgot to check if you know anything about Homestuck at all. :D From outside the summary wouldn't make much sense, yeah. Okay, so, trying to keep the context brief-ish.
Homestuck trolls have nigh-total societal separation between adults and minors (children live on the homeworld and are raised by intelligent non-troll animals, pretty much the only adults on the homeworld are members of a special caste who take care of creating new trolls from genetic material provided by all adult trolls, other adults are in other parts of massive space empire). Trolls sometimes have really strong similarity to an older troll, if the troll-infants-from-genetic-material process lucks out like that. Those who know they have this kind of Ancestor often idolize them in some way.
Feferi Peixes is the heir to the Empress, and as such, very similar to her. She's also like... 13, I think? Possibly a couple of years older. Orphaner Dualscar was the genetic ancestor of Feferi's best friend Eridan Ampora. He's dead in canon, he was a massive asshole when alive (killed someone he perceived as romantic rival, among other things). He was also distantly in love with the Empress.
In the fic in question Dualscar somehow came back to life. He immediately fixated on Feferi, because she was similar to the Empress, but unlike the Empress, she paid attention to him (because an adult troll would have been a novelty, he knew stuff about her ancestor etc). He groomed her and eventually raped her. She told Eridan and Eridan immediately killed Dualscar.
The fic is in Dualscar's viewpoint, but it's very hard to read it as justifying his actions if you have *any* reading comprehension at all. And for those who don't have any... Dualscar is killed. Feferi's friends are on her side, not his. Bad person does bad thing, is immediately punished. Isn't this what antis want, a very obvious consequence?
I tried to find the original callout, but it seems to be gone by now. Found some snippets on Fail-Fandomanon search (of course they discussed it, should've started looking from there) and going from that it was definitely about "author is trash". After all, the author wrote fanfic about Bad Topics. They also accuse Gideon of depicting grooming, because, quote, "one of the antagonist had manipulated a character since they were a kid to fall in love with them to complete their revenge". I'm... not optimistic about their reading comprehension.
SFF twitter was really good for finding new stuff to read, but I've got to say, quitting it did wonders to my blood pressure. Nowadays I see Discourse only if I go looking for it.
