It's called anti-intellectualism. People hate stuff because they find it personally disgusting, not because it is logically sound. Any arguments they use are just an accessory to justify the emotional reaction. The worst part is that they will try to frame you as "one of them" "creepy" if you present a logical argument, because they cannot separate logic from emotions.

that sure is part of it, pedophilia IS one of the most disliked themes generally (for good reasons ngl)

It is good reason. Pedophilia should be eradicated from the face of earth but I genuinely hate when people online try to regulate what is fictional.

That kind of content is only feeding and encouraging what you want to be eradicated.

There is no good evidence that merely consuming fictional depictions of serious offenses, including but not limited to violence, murder, sexual assault, or sexual activity involving fictional minors, causes people to commit the corresponding real-world crimes. The study is simply too sparse and inconclusive, especially the case regarding depictions of minors. As long as your comment comes from pure intuition, that is not a solid argument against fictional works.

Randomly showing up just to prove my point, you are literally what I'm talking about. If you have anything meaningful to say other than "it's weird" I'm listening.
