there is a difference between enjoying shota and enjoying pedophilia/child molestation

there is a difference between enjoying rape fantasy/roleplay and enjoying actual rape

there is a difference between enjoying fictional abusive relationships and enjoying real abusive relationships

there is a difference between fantasy and reality and your enjoyment of fantasy can be healthy, and in some cases it can be a therapeutic way of dealing with real trauma in a safe, fictional outlet from a distance.

some rape victims enjoy roleplaying rape or molestation in fantasy situations because it allows them control over the very thing they didn’t have control over before.

it’s when you cross the boundary into reality or have thoughts of bringing these kinks into reality that it becomes dangerous, unhealthy, and you should seek help to control these thoughts or behaviours.

all that being said, you shouldn’t be surprised if rape survivors are creeped out by your rape kink, or child abuse survivors don’t want to see your shota posts, and there’s no reasons to get defensive about it. it’s not “kink-shaming,” it’s people being made uncomfortable/potentially triggered. just make sure you tag everything properly and respect the boundaries of others.
