No, it's not too bitchy and yes, you are being more than reasonable. People like this make me so mad!
Tags are there for a reason. It's obvious from the outset what your fic entails. Why people insist on reading stories just to lambast the author I have no idea. If the story isn't your cup of tea; don't read it. It really is very simple.
As a writer you are entitled to create the world you want; that's the joy of fiction. Just because you're character does something doesn't mean that you personally condone it or recommend it. I think some people get writers confused with the character's they write about.
As far as their last comment goes, it's ridiculous and rude. I wonder how many a/b/o fics the reader has read and why she continues to read them if her feelings on the subject are so strong. A/b/o fics tend to be full of consent issues; mine certainly are. And the ones I enjoy reading are. Are my views on women's rights set in the middle ages. NO, as my husband and children will readily attest to. Your reader has issues, but they are really not your problem.
For the record; I love your fic. I did comment on your last chapter but I'll say it again; I love it. It's hot first of all - hello spanking - and the CONSENSUAL domestic discipline kind of relationship they have going on works for them both. I'm looking forward to the next chapter.
