You know what? I will say it.
Mafia stories aren’t the real problem, but people want stricter guidelines because of them. They complain that teenagers will read these stories and become the wives of real mafia bosses.
Are you for real? The real problem are the stories like “I hooked up with a rock star”, “My amazing glow up”, “Becoming the Prom Queen”. Yes, these “innocent” PG stories are more harmful because of the message.
Most readers won’t encounter a powerful criminal in their life, but they are prone to (TW) being abused by a celebrity, develop self-esteem issues (because they aren’t pretty and popular), and have unwanted pregnancies or STDs (due to the random hook-ups).
