From my prospective, the issue is that you have to protect both to protect the one. Because the line between "this person is clearly working out trauma" and "this person is just getting off on it" is incredibly subjective. And someone else might just be exploring a dart theme as a writing exercise. Who's the person making the determination about what category it belongs in? How do we know the difference? How do we verify the author is a victim without demanding they show the receipts of their trauma? And how do we definite what is "messed up" and what's okay? Who makes that decision? Who applies it?


As for the fic you mentioned above, I would ask: was it clearly tagged to reflect the kind of content it contained? Because I wouldn't touch that fic with a ten-foot pole myself, but I also wouldn't go into the comments to complain about it because ... well, it was tagged as such. But if the author didn't tag it that way? Yeah, no, they need to acknowledge what they're writing and tag it appropriately, especially if it's troubling topics. It's a two-way street.
