#I'd argue that someone reading De Cape et De Croc is NOT someone uninterested in literature and YET I've seen many who still stated they

Usually it's not the reading per se but what comes with it:

if you're not fast enough, if you didn't understand something, if you couldn't focus ect.... some teachers won't give you the benefit of doubt or help you while others will downright humiliate you and scare you from touching a book forever. they often force you to read the way they want you to read and a lot of people think they cannot read well because of that.

That's why a lot of people are traumatized. They associate it with books because that's how they lived it.

Just because it was not traumatizing for you doesn't mean others don't have actual PTSD symptom from it.

You can encourage people to try new thing, to get out of their comfort zone without invalidating their life experience.
