Okay, here's the thing. When open-minded people who aren't in your air-tight little niche, think something in that niche is fucked up, it's probably fucked up. The people in thethe niche are, far more likely to be biased by their constantly reiterated behaviors and ideas becoming normalized.

Yes, because anon above obviously would have presented the issue with complete impartiality and all relevant context, and not have spun everything like mad to suit their own biases.

Fiction depicting underage relationships is neither new nor exclusive to fanfiction. And for the most part, the people who periodically start screaming about how dangerous mainstream fiction that depicts those relationships are and how the writers are clearly actual rl pedophiles are brushed off as pearl clutching loons.

Um, mainstream fiction that depicts sexual relationships between distinctly underage characters and adult ones and depicts the relationship as erotic is almost nonexistent. Maybe because most "normies" realize how creepy and messed up it is. Not sure what weird modernized dark ages you're living in if you think that shit is all over the place. Like, do you read a fuckton of Gabriel Garcia Marquez or something?

Allow me to introduce you to this obscure little series called A Song of Ice and Fire. Which was so reviled by ~the normies~ for its detailed and romanticized depiction of the rape of a 13-year-old and her journey to figure out how to enjoy fucking her much older warlord husband that each and every book in the series has hit the bestseller list and the entire thing's been turned into a much-celebrated tv show.

It's not "almost nonexistent". It's actually pretty damn common if you read fantasy, historical, or pseudo-historical fantasy fiction. It's also not that rare in literary fiction - because remember, we're talking about teenagers here, not seven year olds, and it's culturally accurate to a lot of settings.
