(Anonymous) 2019-04-27 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)In terms of what?
Having "a hard time with how someone could sexualize a child and not have that carry that over to that person sexualizing real children"?
As I said, "Even then context would matter." If they are writing stories that are about someone else sexualizing a child as a way to work through trauma, then they aren't actually sexualizing children, don't have an attraction to children, and it isn't something I'd expect would carry over.
In terms of "sometimes when someone fixates on a character who looks like a child and sexualizes that character, it sets off creep vibes to me."?
Again, context would matter. If they are writing a story that focuses on the child's point of view and/or about healing, I wouldn't necessarily read it, but I'd understand. I just finished a book, The Child Finder, that had parts that portrayed a young girl being sexually abused by an older guy. It was difficult to read, and I skimmed over parts of it, but it was obvious that what was happening was about the story, and while the guy sexualized the child, the narrative didn't. If the author is instead writing stories that sexualize children, that are about kids giving enthusiastic consent and/or lovingly detailing the bodies of children, then I am going to be wary of that author. In the case you gave of a story like that being written solely by someone to work through trauma, I might not need need to be wary of them, but I still will be.
To me there is a definite difference between working things out in a journal or with a therapist and posting things for others to consume. And I will react accordingly. People are allowed to write whatever stories they want, but as long as I don't harrass them over it, I'm allowed to have whatever reaction to the stories I want. If someone is writing stories sexualizing children, where that is the point of the story, and putting them out there for the public, then I will block/stay away from them.
