I wonder where the break happened that such wide swaths of younger fans don’t grasp fandom things that used to be unspoken understandings. That fic readers are expected to know fiction from reality,  that views expressed in fic are not necessarily those of the author, that the labels, tags and warnings on various kinkfics are also the indication that they were created for titillation and not much more, please use responsibly as per all pornography. The ‘problem’ isn’t that so-called ‘problematic’ fic exists but that some of the audience is being stupid, irresponsible, at worst criminal, at best not old enough to be in the audience to begin with. And that’s on the consumer, not the author who told you via labels, tags, ratings, warnings and venues what their fic was about and what it was for.

I can’t stress enough how important this post is

This is all so wild watching all this discussion go back and forth like i was such a nerd as a teen that i self censored myself from reading NC-17 fan fiction until i was… wait for it… 17

Lol, I definitely did not. I was reading that shit at 13 or 14 (but I knew that was on me, not the writer!!). You are officially a better Kantian than I am.
