Fuck "writing responsibly." Write whatever the hell you want. I'm about the last person you'd expect to come up with a "think of the children" argument (Yo, sexual relationship with authority figure from the age of 10 to 14 or 15 (I can't be sure), so I'm not speaking without some clue.), but I wish some fics were posted with some thought. And I mean specifically fics that paint such relationships as good, or the child as seducer, etc. The "Don't like? Don't read" attitude is fine for adults talking to other adults, but I said it in my (again unflocked) post and I'll say it here: If I'd read that kind of thing when I was in the middle of it, I don't know how much more what happened to me would have fucked me up.
Abusers were, in most cases, abused themselves. In their experience, it's normal. Although it was my experience, I've been able to re-set my parameters to "not normal to have sex with minors over whom you have authority." With a vengance.
