Given the fic, I'd say that or it was a random dog piling target like happens on anon memes where someone gets a bug up their ass and starts wanking and others jump on the wankwagon.
Considering the first comment was unfortunately the one to start the wank, that was likely the case. By the time other readers tried to come to the author's aid the harm was done and they were all patting themselves in the back for being so progressive.
Do you remember if the comment was from someone logged into an account or an anon comment? I find a lot of the wankbait comments on AO3 fics or ones that are more demanding or accusatory don't come from people who have signed into accounts.
