Dude, that’s true of most fanbases though. Is the Taylor Swift fanbase fascist? Are the crazy people obsessed with barely legal actresses fascist?
When people like something a lot, they identify with that thing. Any attack on the thing they identify is an attack on them, and they feel like they have to defend it in proportion to how much they identify with that thing. Shame can come into play too; if they both identify heavily with the thing they like and are also ashamed of it, knowing it isn’t acceptable by society? Very intense reactions.
That’s just human psychology. These women have a fantasy they use to escape the reality they very much find unenriching. People do that with alchohol, drugs, and a whole list of other far more destructive habits.
I think its okay if a woman wants to read some smut, and understandable when they get upset when someone says something bad about their smut.
If having your perception of a fictional character from a fictional story, challenged with reality, prompts you to seek out and destroy someone’s life, you’re a problem. It doesn’t matter what the reason is, that’s your psychological responsibility to manage without hurting other people. If you can’t do that, then you need to give up that perception or accept being treated like the threat you are. Others have every right to have different opinions about fictional things without having their life destroyed. That’s tyrannical and deeply unhealthy and in this example, that’s women and smut.
Perhaps my interjection of a bit of reality into your perception of smut is making you want to commit some social-violence, yourself?
No one is arguing that such actions are not a problem, I’m arguing that you’re usage of fascism is extreme.

No, but if you feel that anyone who argues that you’re wrong wants to hurt you, you might need to go to therapy.
You’re literally provoking “social-violence” because someone disagreed with you on the internet.
Perhaps being challenged on a topic you feel strongly about has made you a hypocrite?
Which i explicitly stated may not be the accurate term, but you seem to have ignored that, in favour of whatever got you riled up. What then would you call it?
