EXACTLY. There are also a lot of stories of people using fictional pedophilic content (and of course I'm not talking about underage sex sinceminors do read and write fic as a way to discover themselves, but more like adult/child fic, teacher/student fic, smut about pre-teen characters (aged up or not) etc.), to groom young people in fandom. Everyone might know rape is bad, but the younger teens in fandom who see fic about pedophilic circumstances might not know better, and there are a lot of adults who'll take advantage of that. I've heard a ton of horror stories of kids falling victim to abuse from older people in fandom through that kind of normalisation of pedophilic fic/content.
