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.

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.
