I think you've put that well, and it makes sense.

But let me add something, just a little personal experience. It didn't make me run around screaming "Childhood Ruined!" but it was upsetting on several levels.

This was Back In The Day, before I got super into fandoms, before A03, etc. I loved the movie Iron Giant. Loved it! Made me cry every time, and I couldn't get enough of it. (I've been thinking about it because I just saw it's on Netflix so I'll be rewatching it soon for the first time in years!).

Anyway one day, somehow, I ended up on Fanfiction.com and looked up to see what people were writing about Iron Giant. And I swear what little there was mostly involved shipping the underage boy with his older male role model in the movie. (I don't remember any character names, it's been too long.) The kid is like 12? It freaked me out. I backed out of that "fandom" hard!

There are other instances I've run across, explicit porn with underage characters from children's TV, etc. These days I'm not as shocked, I suppose, and I do like some Voltron pairings, so I'm not totally against shipping cartoons/youngish characters. But there are just some pairings, man. They can really mess with your head and ruin your innocence at a certain age.

Another instance was when I got into Heroes and decided to see what people were talking about online about the show. It seemed to be mostly porn with Claire and her uncle. So...again, I was creeped out.

I don't think remakes can "ruin" anything, not really, just get annoying sometimes. But porn and twisted pairings for me, can come close.
