Describing Harry Potter fan fiction as "pedophile erotica" is roughly the same as calling "50 Shades of Grey" pedophile erotica. Yes. "50 Shades of Grey" was a Twilight fan fiction; another series focusing on teenage protagonists. It was also one of the best-selling and most talked-about books of 2011. The movies are still coming out.
So if you're really going to set a precedent that fictional teenage characters further fictionalized in sexual scenarios implies pedophilia, then a huge amount of American women qualify, and that includes a number of them who take pizzagate seriously. That this post has been upvoted this much does not reflect well on this community. This is an example of right-wing political correctness. It comes from the same place as Bob Dole was coming from in claiming the movie Trainspotting "glorified drug use".
