I certainly think that if you can see it coming you should do what you can to fix the problem.
I haven't had this particular problem show up in my own writing, so I don't know what I'd do if it did; what's happened to me is that I've written particular characters (two Christians, one of them Catholic and also anti-choice; numerous Slytherins for whom I had varying amounts of sympathy in canon prior to the time I lost interest in writing to that canon, though in no case did I believe that their point of view was worth murdering for; a few insane people) so well that people have mistaken their viewpoints for mine.
I have also, with specifically erotic stories, had people tell me that they thought I was sending the wrong message (you're glorifying incest/you shouldn't write rape fantasies, why are you not writing about the omg trauma here/why are there no consequences for this horrible uneven power relationship). My reaction to that kind of feedback is generally something along the lines of "go pound sand, there was a warning, it was very clear."
I have a history with 'artistic responsibility' and 'misogyny' because dubious consent turns me on so I like to write it a lot and uneven power relationships turn me on in fiction (in RL I tend to run from them)--particularly when the less socially powerful partner has tremendous amounts of emotional power over the more socially powerful partner, and has to learn what to do with it. I've been accused of writing misogynist fiction and it irritates the shit out of me because I think all my characters have a lot of agency, but people who are looking for hurt/comfort or trauma emotional porn find my stuff and get mad because I don't go there. (This icon was made for me; it's a quote from a hate meme where people were discussing my porn and how morally terrible some of it was and what an awful person I was for telling them to fuck off and read something else if they didn't like it.)
Sometimes I feel I need to put "WARNING: Not intended to be role models; not a comment on the way I think the world should be; probably not my politics either." above the cut tag of every damn thing I write.
