In the sense you can give it up for a time/permanently or that it's separate from your life in a way that getting hate mail as, say, JKR, would be? I can see your point. However outside of a few genuinely horrifying incidents mostly targeted at anime creators it's mostly fanfic authors and artists who are getting the brunt of the anti behaviour. It's come up a lot in discussions that antis don't get a petition up or all write letters to the producers of the 'bad shows' but rather dogpile on someone for writing a fic with a 'bad pairing' even if that pairing is canon.
