What else would you call it?
I call shenanigans.

Fine. Call shenanigans. I don't mind. My actual wording was clear for anyone who cares to read it. It was:

I'm opposed to the existence of this type of fiction, and my motivation is that I don't want to read it, I don't want my kids (when I have kids) to read it, I don't want their teachers or scout leaders reading it, I just don't want to live in a society where depictions of this sort of behavior are readily accepted as legitimate erotic stimulants.

I said I am opposed to the existence of this fiction and it's because I don't want people reading it. I said nothing about whether or not they should be allowed to read it, only about whether I wanted them to do so or not. It is entirely possible for a person to wish a certain behavior would not happen and at the same time to recognize that it is inappropriate to force people not to practice that behavior. Like smoking--I don't want people to smoke, but it's not appropriate to forcibly proscribe smoking.
You are failing to recognize nuance.
