Hmm. I agree with some of what you have to say, but some of us write and read some fic as a way of dealing unrealistically with realistic problems in our own lives. Fantasy clearly marked, consensually engaged in, isn't necessarily a bad thing. If I write a story about two women in love adopting two kids and a dog and gettin' married in my state, and it's a story I might write, it'd be because it'd be desperately escapist for me as something I can't do.

Surely there's a difference between "what privileged people should selfpolice" and "what disprivileged people should be allowed to create and consume without public censure."
