/TW abuse
It& #39;s really hard trying to talk to fanpols 1 to 1... a lot of them have very personal issues with problematic fiction that are rooted in trauma, and it& #39;s a huge challenge making them understand that yes, their trauma would& #39;ve still happened if bad fiction didn& #39;t exist..

People who have been unable to properly address their trauma with professionals need some sort of outlet, so they use dark fiction and, by extension, its creators as that outlet, because they can& #39;t hurt their abusers back, and they can& #39;t erase their own trauma...
They don& #39;t see dark fiction as a tool of grooming in the same vein as other grooming tools, such as pets, videogames, affection, etc. They see it as inherently necessary for the abuser, "if they didn& #39;t have dark fiction they wouldn& #39;t have abused me"
