“I don’t want to read this” is totally valid.
“This is disgusting to me” is totally valid.
“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.
Unless it’s like… Illegal or immoral. You can read that fae kinky story for all I care but if you bring a child, an animal or a dead body into this then it’s not going to end well for you.
Edit : The author of the post was in fact solely talking about fictional stories. I thought that they were talking about writing in general, even more the books in which something illegal is talked about and the author later on admits on doing that said illegal thing, like pedophilia for example.
Since it was not the subject here, I feel the need to correct myself. I totally agree with them. In terms of fiction with no tangible proof and/or clear statements from the author, you cannot ‘not allow’ anyone from writing anything. Like the author said in another post, the author doesn’t have to be your moral compass.
Sorry for the confusion, I hope everyone will have a great day
