I think the new kids have been, mm, led astray but gatekeeping purity culture. There's this weird pocket of pearl-clutchy weirdness in fandom these days, and it's part "Save the children!" and part, "I'm a children, you old people don't belong here!" when we BUILT this house goddammit. I'm not bothered by minors (possibly because I don't write that much smut, which I know makes me an anomaly), but I am bothered by the pervasive idea that even having dark, or smutty, or otherwise "adult" content is automatically harmful no matter how you tag it.
I feel like I have a Tumblr post about this saved somewhere. Hang on...

It's not exactly what you're talking about, but it's part of the same stew. I need to spend some time unpacking that one day.
