Nah. If they're going to bleat about how liking the bad ships turns people into actual real life abusers and rapists, they need to explain how liking violence doesn't turn them into actual real life mass murderers. Because they absolutely do not just bleat at people who kink on dark content (which would still be deeply stupid), they crawl all the way up the ass of people who write standard enemies-to-lovers ships, or two adults over the age of 25 with a five year age gap.

This. It's not about being turned on by gore. It's the double standard of "sexual stuff affects reality but violent stuff somehow doesn't". Of course they would be as appalled at someone being into guro or having the hots for fictional murderers. Because that's sexual and sex is bad in their puritanical minds. While most of them (saying most because there actually are a few that do this) don't at the same time believe consuming crime or violent media makes you a murderer irl.

This exactly.

What is the difference between sex and violence in their minds that makes sexual content such a supernaturally-powerful mindwarp relative to violence? Yes of course violent movies and video games don't cause people to mindlessly act out what they see. Sexual content is no different. It's no more likely to make people mindlessly act out what they see than a first-person shooter game.

It's superstitious, puritanical fear of sexuality as a force with special mind-control powers that no other form of entertainment does. And it's ridiculous on the surface and obviously transparently silly, but it becomes dangerous because people take it so seriously.
