Yeah, because trash rags are in their face, paparazzi follow them around and harass them. THAT IS BAD AND INVASIVE AND TERRIBLE.
Someone writing A loves B in an obscure corner of the internet (unless actors/etc regularly frequent AO3) is not hurting them!
I'm defending fucking crazy people, but to equate fanfic with batshit insane fans who go to cons and panels and say, "Hey Jared admit you're really in love with Jensen!" is ridiculous.
But somehow regular people (not the artists themselves) think trash mags are okay but fanfic is somehow crossing a line. THAT'S what I don't get.
