“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.
“I don’t think anyone should be allowed to read or write this because it is disgusting to me” is authoritarian.
“Okay but that doesn’t apply to-” still authoritarian.
“Yeah but everyone hates X so-” still authoritarian.
“But what about the gross stuff!” Still? Authoritarian??
“This makes me uncomfortable and I worry about other people’s reactions to it…” yes, alright, fair and reasonable expression or yourself-
“-so it shouldn’t exist!” NO YOU MISSED THE POINT AGAIN. STILL AUTHORITARIAN.
You are allowed to not like a thing! You’re allowed to uncomfortable with fictional portrayals of a thing!
You are not allowed to make your discomfort and disgust the law on what is allowed to exist!!! That is quite literally part of how governments kept interracial relationships and queer people as a whole illegal!
