I'm just gonna quote OP's comment from below, because they've articulated this so well:

In the case where someone writes a smut fic in which an underage person has sex with an adult, the main problem, IMO, is that their perspective is not the audience's perspective. Maybe it's hot to the writer because they're imagining having their first sexual encounter with an idealized yet inappropriate older figure. This doesn't seem weird or unhealthy to me, any more than imagining how our high school experience could have been if life were more like fiction. Or maybe they're a CSA who's imagining themselves back in the shoes of the victim, but this time recontextualizing the situation in a way that helps them somehow. I have no opinion on that.

But when someone posts that fantasy publicly, in the form of a story that's about other, publicly shared characters, what that fantasy is for them doesn't go with it. The fantasy becomes something far more objective. And objectively, they've now posted a story that's about an adult having sex with a kid.


WORD to this, anon. I'd never quite put it in these terms in my mind, but this is it exactly.

i'm sorry but this is complete bullshit. you've read fic, and presumably, books before. you understand how framing narratives work. at least i fucking hope you do. people who write this shit to process things or explore themselves do not suddenly forget how to frame horrible acts as horrible acts. at worst, they're a bad writer who can't do this effectively, but their bad fic doesn't have nearly the scope of damage that you are delusional enough to think it might.

Except nobody here is talking about fics that depict underage rape as bad. The entire issue is about fics that present it as sexy wank fodder. If you dont recognize the importance of that distinction, I have no idea how to reason with you.
