So let me get this straight; you're arguing that everything is okay because you got punished for it in the past? And that the act itself was not actually bad because it was just proship fanfic stuff?
Japanese-Americans, referred to as Nikkei by Japan, underwent an extended detention in racial concentration camps. They were basically forced to abandon their Japanese culture and way of life to become "American," punished when speaking Japanese etc. It's totally within their rights to call the slur a slur, because it calls back to the internment camps.

Big talk. Let's see some ground level unionizing first.
Sex offenders have a high chance of re-offending in your example, and are essentially branded for life by the state. In particular, sex crimes involving minors. I know the stigma of having made mistakes in your past, but the difference that time makes is the development of remorse, steps towards not doing the same thing, and being a better person.
If you want to appeal to a sense of rehabilitation, please tell me what you did and how it was wrong and how you're feeling about it. I don't believe in a permanent brand even for some actions, but if you're remorseless then what's to make me believe you? And before you ask me why I'm painting myself as an arbiter, just remember that one person friendly to your cause could turn the tide of canceling.
