if you think fictional characters hold more worth or are more important than real people, you are a disgusting person. if you harm or attack real people over fictional characters, you are a disgusting person. if you compare the abuse and trauma that real people have gone through to made-up experiences that fictional characters have gone through, you are a disgusting person.

valuing fictional characters over real people will always be a disgusting and pathetic thing to do. people who do this deserve nothing but misery. let them rot alone with their precious fictional characters, with no friends or family or online presence. if you're fine being disrespectful and hateful towards real people over a fictional character, you shouldn't be around real people.

Is there a way to address callouts about your fics like this without invalidating their trauma?

yes, tell them:

“I’m sorry about what happened to you. but no matter how tragic your story is, the world does not revolve around you. people — strangers — don’t have to censor themselves in order to cater to your personal comfort.

if you don’t like something or are triggered by something, and if you go out of your way to seek those things, so you can be triggered by them, then that is entirely on you. no one forces you to read what you don’t want to read.

not to mention, a lot of victims and survivors use dark fiction to help them cope and heal from their trauma. just because dark fiction does not help you heal does not mean you have the rights to invalidate how other victims and survivors heal from their own trauma.

and just because you personally are triggered by dark fiction does not mean you have the rights to force other people — whether or not they themselves were victims — to censor themselves in order to cater to your personal comfort.

that is not how freedom to create works. that is not how the world works.

again, the world does not revolve around you.

what happened to you is terrible, but it does not give you the rights to be entitled, it does not give you the rights to harass or shame other people who are just minding their own business, people whose actions do not harm anybody in real life in any way, shape or form.

it is your job and your responsibility to curate your own internet experience by blocking, muting, filtering out what you don’t want to see.

They will say they are protecting kids from people who ship or draw problematic things while actively sending said children to look at the things so they can report it.

They will say they are protecting children while engaging in conversations about how “gross” some k|nks are and send art of said k|nks to the children.

"Oh, no! This child doesn't believe in harassment! I sure hope they get beaten thoroughly by their parents!"
