No. The weirder, darker and more extreme and in depth the better.
I think that fandom is exactly the right space to have as an outlet for "sensitive" topics. Published works have restrictions, are linked to people's real names and a lot of them are published in countries with UHM puritanical views. So not all trauma or kinks or fears can be freely discussed. Pseudonymous non commercial writing can bypass all those restrictions.

Sure, 99.9% or the works you find are not that great, some of them are outright offensive, but them there is that 0.1% that is full catharsis for you and it will finally make you feel seen. Happened to be. A fanfic helped me a lot in a moment where I felt like I was drowning in my grief.

Just tag it, put a warning. I will read it if I'm interested or when I'm ready. If I don't read maybe someone else will. And maybe they will too find comfort in being seen by an author that can put into words what they are going through.

(tldr: just let people write what they want. who cares. it's just fandom :/)
