“I don’t want to read this because it is disgusting to me” is totally valid.
“I don’t think anyone should be allowed to read or write this because it is disgusting to me” is authoritarian.

Bro, blocking someone and then using their tag like this is, all offence, weak as fuck. Like all you had to say was, na bro I don’t promote pedo protags on this here blog, because I wholly agree with the premise of your argument given contexts (i.e., writing abusive relationships to show the evils, great; writing abusive relationships to show the romance, yikes).
This response is so, so comically shitty within the context of that tag, oh my god.

Fanfic supporting pedophila doesn’t help with coping with trauma and leads children to adopting fucked up fetishes. This isnt about “this is disgusting to me and nobody should read it just cause of that”, it’s literally about not giving attention nor encouraging that type of behavior. No shit pedophila is involved and isn’t liked, but not saying it is really fucking weird.
Anyways OP had me in the first half ngl
Therapists tell you to do what helps you first and foremost
Ergo; if sharing your creations helps you (gen you) feel safe and accepted through other people reading and feeling free then to share their own stories coming forward
Then your Therapist is going to go with the idea of: You tag it. You make sure all warnings are accounted for. And you let that story loose.
What IS going to disturb a therapist, and rightly so–is takes like yours. Where the idea isn’t: “Do what helps you recover. Write what helps you process it. Share if you want to.” And more of “If this happened to you, all you can do is cope in private and silence because NOBODY else has EVER had this happen!!! You are an OUTCAST!!!! Nobody else shares in this kind of trauma but you and THATS why you HAVE to keep your mouth shut because no one else will ever understand it!!!”
Because that isn’t RECOVERY. that is REPRESSING. And that is absolutely COUNTER to the point of what therapy is meant to DO.
