What influences our reactions to sexual abuse/exploitation of children?

I think if I relate to the story on a personal level, it strikes me stronger than others, even though they are all horrible.

For example, the spoon feeding semen guy. That made me gag a little as I'm not a fan of the flavor of semen in general. It's wrong and I think the guy should do time, but it didn't hit me as hard as some of the other stories.

I, too, am a childhood abuse survivor. Stories that mimic or somehow form a connection to my own personal story make me livid. I literally seeth on the inside and, if the perp was in front of me, I wouldn't trust myself to not do them bodily harm.
