Remember, the original point of the term “child sexual abuse material” was to distinguish images/video made through the actual abuse of a child, from depictions not involving actual abuse – such as erotic Harry Potter fanfiction, anime characters, drawings from imagination, and the like.

although that distinction lasted about a week before the same bad actors who cancel people over incest fanfic started calling all the latter CSEM too

As a sometime fanfic writer, I do notice when fascists attack sites like AO3 under a pretense of "protecting children", yes.

And it's usually fascists, or at least people who may not consider themselves as such but think and act like fascists anyways.
