I'm sorry, did you just say that the entire literary genre known as "historical fiction" is actively messed up and just about dragging real people into creepy fantasies? o_O; What about all those books/movies that are "based on a true story"?

[(Anonymous)]

We're not talking about historical fiction here, we're talking about porn being written about people who are alive and walking around right now. Don't invent false equivalencies or try to make RPF seem more legit or what have you by pretending that historical fiction is exactly the same thing. Heck, even historical fiction involving sex scenes/porny scenes isn't the same, because those people aren't around anymore to possibly be horrified or embarrassed by it if some wacko fan decides to shove it (or the knowledge of it) in their face, or harass them/their partners about it. As some RPF fans HAVE DONE.

This secret doesn't specify porn, though. OP just says that they're writing RPF.

Honestly? Some movies/books "about" real people are incredibly fucked up. Specifically, the sort made by people writing sensational (fake) stories about people they never even knew for the sole purpose of making money off of their name. Look at Robert Slatzer & the creepy shit he made up about Marilyn Monroe, for example.

"Based on" stuff is rarely ever going to be bad, though, as long as it's only ever implied and everyone is renamed.

[osidiano]

I don't disagree that some are fucked up, I just think that context in fiction matters, you know? Painting it all as bad and creepy isn't actually helpful, especially when we have socially acceptable genres like historical fiction and sensationalized memoirs and "based on" stories where you could write about people who were alive/still have living family who might not appeciate that particular depiction as written, even with a name change.
