No, I think it means you think two real people are actually in a relationship. Like truly believing that two particular actors (not necessarily the characters they play) are together.

Or maybe you're right and I'm thinking of something else.

I think you're right, in that what you're describing is the classic form of tinhattery. OTOH, you could probably also extend the term to the kind of fans who are so insistent that their ship is canon that when it gets jossed, they propose to take out a full-page ad in the New York Times to tell the author--at length--"You don't truly understand your own canon and you've betrayed your true fans."

I guess that probably makes sense. I don't think any of my rpf pairings are real, for the record, I just ship them for the lulz.

Considering I believe the fandom use of tinhatting came from the Supernatural fandom and all those psychotic fans who believe the two leads are in a relationship and the wives should die... You're probably right on the money with this.

Tinhatting has been around since before Supernatural. Go looking for stuff on Dom Monaghan and Elijah Wood if you want to see a prime earlier example.
