If you take this stance for every other type of real world trauma as well, and refuse to read any of it in your fics... then you're not a hypocrite at least. I would bet money that is not true for you, though.

Besides, people looking for, for example, "good PTSD fics" are like 99% of the time not kinking on PTSD, they just want to see it depicted well and realistically. I bet it's the same for the OP of this secret about EDs.

People love to read dramatic stories about other peoples trauma but get real touchy when it is something that hits them personally.

It kinda sounds a bit like 'people like to read things with trigger warnings and get triggered' on top. Unfortunate for that anon.

There are two kinds of people: the kind who don't want to read about trauma that mirrors theirs because it triggers them, and the kind who love to read about trauma that mirrors theirs because it's cathartic.

The second type are, for some reason, much more aware that there are two types of people and understanding of the people who don't want to read about their trauma. The first type think everyone else is like them so if you like reading about trauma, it has to be for entertainment, or worse (gasp!), kink. And will react like this thread's OP.

(Type 2's also tend to acknowledge it is also okay to like reading about trauma for entertainment or kink.)

IAWTC. I read PTSD fics, and write them, to deal with my traumas and reactions to them and explore how someone else might react differently and what that means. It’s similar to journaling, but I get to play what-ifs and change things from how it happened to me.

I think the overreacting anon hasn’t faced their ED trauma very well and is using avoidance, which is not a great coping mechanism, imo.
