Don't change a story because people have negative feelings about it. Post
disclaimers if you wish, but unless the story itself is somehow inciting
people, don't change it. Even if people criticise the story itself, to do so
violates your own artistic integrity.
Disclaim yes, acknowledge criticism yes. Change, no. Unless you yourself
want to change it. In which case, do, but do so for your own reasons. Be an
artist, not a panderer or someone trying to hit the maximum positive public
opinion.
This has come up before and this distinction seems lost on some,
unfortunately, because it can cause all sorts of hard feelings and general
ill will.
