Antishippers were awful towards my trauma. I don't believe people should disclose PTSD to "justify" reading/creating dark content, but I watched how the tide turned from "it's only okay to ship this if you're a survivor" to "it's never okay, seek therapy or repress yourself until you're miserable." I was told that what I read in private somehow contributes to other people getting abused, or that "trauma isn't an excuse to be a freak" (I'm vanilla and don't enjoy dark fiction as a kink).

Ugh that's VILE i'm sorry.
It also makes no logical sense like... how on earth does reading something fictional privately cause a person to be abused?????

Something something, you're giving the content page views and thus enabling more of it to be made. And it theoretically might be used to groom. Or an abuser might see it and compell them to act out more. This was their logic.
Never mind the fact I was interested in stories that mirrored my own abuse, written by other abuse survivors.

oh right 9.9 they don't understand context. For example I see some of them complaining about Ao3 saying that its full of incest porn and citing all the fics tagged incest. Except tags are used when a fic DISCUSSES the topic, Not explicitly only porn.

Its basically the mindset of pro-book banning people. They don't care what context something is mentioned in. They just hate that it's mentioned AT ALL.

Because yes, surely reading Go Ask Alice is going to make ~impressionable teenagers~ go out and smoke crack.

Antishippers are the reason why I don't talk about my trauma/triggers on my blog. I've seen them be so nasty and use people's trauma as a weapon . I've even seen them deliberately try to trigger survivors.

The worst part is this experience was with former friends. We met in a Discord server via friends-of-friends, and all talked together in a group chat. Fandom stuff didn't come up, we mostly bonded over political discussions and being LGBT. When fandom was brought up, they turned out they were antis. Then the victim blaming came in.

I had a repentant anti phase for years because of them. I truly believed that enjoying ships that resembled my trauma *when I was a teen* somehow normalized abuse or meant I deserved to be abused. Luckily my therapist disagreed. These people are far out of my life now.
