[TW GROOMING MENTION] Must admit I'm worried...
This is a bit silly.
I have been working on a story so far (currently, my timeline is on chapter 5). The story has a lot of dark content (a canon groomer x victim relationship that is actually demonized, canon incest that is ALSO demonized, etc.), and I have worked my butt off to have the story be a message about how idealizing authority leads to disappointment in a dramatic story of crimes, monsters and mafias.
My main concern is with the canon grooming victim, not because "I'm scared of him and his abuser getting romantiziced," but the fact that people will woobify Irei the same way Mahito or Douma are; eternally a victim despite the literal grocery list of crimes they commit. I'm not talking about thinking of him as a victim who does bad things as a victim. I'm talking about them erasing the entirety of his characters.
I talked to a friend about that character, and she DID understand the concept: a victim failed by everyone in his life, which led him to become an evil fucker as well. Antis have a HUGE tendency to infantilize victims just for being victims. I know I shouldn’t care but it definitely does.
