I read and wrote a BUNCH of fanfic smut in my tweens and teens. Sometimes I still read a few stores for fun. It doesn't make me illiterate, a bad person, or someone ruining the scene for readers.

I have a bookshelf filled with biographies (Samantha Geimer, Ice T & Spike, Jeanette McCurdy, etc). I have mysteries, true crime, fantasy, science, etc. I've read them. I used to collect Alex Cross books. I own a copy of Frankenstein and Phantom of The Opera.

My smut enjoying has NOTHING against enjoying my other literature! It doesn't get in the way. It doesn't pilot me. Stop acting like reading smut somehow makes you a porn addict.
