I prefer dark stories and thoroughly enjoy @mercuryfoam's. One of the best simlits I've ever had the pleasure of reading. It's too bad these people got hurt or offended trying to read them, but the moment they got triggered, they should've just closed the tab and moved on.
And yes, the "strong female character" thing.. come on. Let people write a character however they want. (Also, if these trolls would've bothered to read the chapters before the current ones, they'd see that Red isn't as 'weak' as they perceive her to be.)
I've written a few darker stories as well, and just find them easier to relate to, especially now. Everyone, keep writing your dark, gloomy, wonderful tales - you've got way more fans than haters. o:)
