Look. I've never seen fandom act like it's OKAY that we live in a world where real children are abused and sexually molested. Never. (And I would raise holy hell if it did!) I have seen fandom argue that, in the context of a world where these are real life bad things, insisting that fanfiction be devoid of them is sketchy. "No shota!" accommodates the comfort of people who never had to give this stuff a second thought at the expense of people who want to bring it up in a medium that harms no one.

People aren't labeled closed-minded for being uncomfortable with underage. They're labeled closed-minded for translating "this makes me uncomfortable" into "fandom is way too tolerant, it's enabling abuse," as if that's a value judgment they are even remotely qualified to make.

For what it's worth, I'm glad underage turns your stomach, and I say that as a pretty outspoken shota fan. But I'm also tired of people equating stupid, piddly crap like not labeling your fiction or not putting a big, shiny "I know none of this is okay" disclaimer in front of your non-con with Being An Abuser. As if rape or child abuse was indicated by a minor lack of subculture-specific etiquette. TL;DR, Making yourself comfortable is not the same thing as helping survivors. And sometimes, it's actively harmful.
