You're kind of missing OP's point, though. It's not like people who are into RPF really know the real people, they're often just basing it off the characters they play or wishful thinking headcanon. It's more persona than person.

Personally I think that’s what makes it so bizarre and wrong - to take some fantasized version of an actual person the author doesn’t know, with feelings and thoughts and their own history and family, and make them into paper dolls, generally in a public forum for emotional or sexual response. That’s what stalkers do. It’s weird.

Tbh I feel like the whole "it's not the REAL them" is a flimsy excuse when...yeah, we know you don't actually know them. That's part of the creepiness.

Well, not exactly. Stalkers get that label because they do a lot more than fantasize.

No, they're disagreeing with OP's point. There's a difference.

(Anonymous) 2019-01-24 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
There is a difference between disagreeing and missing the point, yes. But when a comment merely restates the definition of RPF instead of addressing the OP's point that the portrayal in RPF are heavily influenced by the characters and therefore the "real" part is is not real, then the comment is doing the latter, not the former.
