(Anonymous) 2018-04-03 04:45 am (UTC)(link)Now, fans shouldn't show any of those fics to the actors, and the actors can stay away from some parts of fandom, or at least the NSFW parts of it (which, they should stay away from in the first place if they're minors)

(Anonymous) 2018-04-03 09:42 am (UTC)(link)Fans shouldn't be writing this shit, period. I can't believe there are people trying to insist there is nothing wrong with this.

(Anonymous) 2018-04-03 03:36 am (UTC)(link)1) That's different. The issue there is a matter of access to the fic, not its very existence. Archive-locking a fic so that it can only be accessed by logged-in users, and marking it as explicit so that the adult content warning shows up, are existing measures in place to make that sort of thing less likely to happen. I would support further measures being made to ensure that underage people cannot access material marked "explicit", but if they choose to ignore an "adults only" marker, it's not the writer's fault.
2) You assume that all fanfiction is written by adult women. There are older children and teens in fandom too. Some of them write fanfiction. Some of them even sexually explicit fanfiction.
3) I actually don't agree with the idea that sexually explicit RPF involving minors should be shared freely, because I don't think that it's appropriate to have it potentially accessible by the subjects. However, fic involving characters is different from fic involving the actors. And again, not all of it is being written by adults in the first place.
4) If you want to criticise people pushing unwanted sexuality on the underage actors, perhaps you ought to start with the fucking creators of Stranger Things, who forced the children to kiss entirely because it made them uncomfortable. I consider that far worse and more unethical than someone writing fanfic about the characters fucking, because it involved actual children being made to do actual acts they were uncomfortable with.

(Anonymous) 2018-04-03 03:44 am (UTC)(link)Anon keeps saying like a mantra, trying to convince themselves it's true, insisting to the cops that, no, they're not creepy, it doesn't count if they're fapping to underage kids, they're just characters!! Played by underage kids!! It's not creepy at all, guys!!

(Anonymous) 2018-04-03 03:53 am (UTC)(link)Quite simply, most people cannot and do not keep a mental image of what a character's actor looks like in their heads at all times. If you need any evidence of this, look at the descriptions given in shipfic involving characters whose actors are old, out of shape, or ugly - I guarantee you that they'll be filled with six-pack abs and smooth skin and chiseled features no matter what the actors actually look like. This is because a fictional character is not the same as a real person. It's an amalgam of various traits, actions, and expressions, portrayed by an actor but transformed in the mind of the audience.
