ALSO I LOVE THAT YOU CAN MAKE KASHRUT JOKES AND THAT WE CAN FIND SOMETHING TO LAUGH ABOUT HERE BECAUSE WAT
WHAT EVEN POSSESSES A PERSON TO WRITE SOMETHING LIKE THIS
ALSO for serious, I think you should at the very least make it clear to the writer that "what you wrote is not okay and I am not okay with this." I'm not generally a fan of pressuring people, but in cases where someone is doing something that is obviously not socially cool, I am very for it.
BUT REALLY THIS IS SOME FUCKED-UP SHIT AND WHERE IS THE LINK TO THIS
Most definitely composing a reply, particularly about the Holocaust bits because SERIOUSLY WHAT. I mean, beyond the fact that the main characters are Mary Sues literally taken from Auschwitz, the parts where he talks about historical fact just feel like he barely did research into the subject. And even then, it's like what I said to Jireh: making a fic starring cartoon and video game characters about a historical event of this kind of scale and horror just does not seem respectful in the least. It's like taking a scene of incredible horror and pasting a cutesy Disney song over it, and goddammit, only Fox can get away with thatAnd then there's the whole rape thing. And the part where the rapist is turned into a sex slave thing. (GUESS WHAT GENDER THE RAPIST AND THEIR VICTIM IS, BY THE BY.) And the part where the Holocaust survivors want to be reincarnated as Pokémon or to Pokémon mothers. And, um, generally the whole zoophilia thing

I'll get to everything else you said in due time (because oy), but I want you to know I have an irl friend with whom I always share links to horrifying Pokemon fics with (and who runs a Bad Fanfiction panel at our local con every year) and he already knew the writer. Unfortunately he had only seen their other fics and "I could just tell they were not going to be good and moved on." He then added "Are you telling me shit gets insane?" and now he's telling me "I'll have to set aside some time to tackle this." Because there are other one-shots about these girls.
Oh my God. That made me Google this kid's username, and Farla knew about him too. I thought that username was just vaguely familiar!
I just sent him a politely worded PM (or as politely worded as I could get while saying "dude, you just wrote something offensive towards my friends, my ancestors, and me personally") and talked to Steelrush about it. Apparently, Steelrush is being strong-armed into finding this kid reviewers, and the kid in question has an explosive temper. I'm a little afraid that as a result, Steelrush will actually get ripped into because he sounds like he's too nice to know what to do with that. If he lashes out at me, I'll lol at it, send you a copy, and happily trot off to an admin with a report for flaming. If he's really that kind of explosively angry. I also told Steelrush that if he's getting bullied over fanfic reviews, he should totally report and block the guy
