i mean that kind of glosses over how rpf also includes porn not just "teehee imagine if we had a house and kids"


personally i don't think you're satan i just think it's creepy that you can't keep your fapping fantasies to yourself instead of putting them where the target can see them. like it costs you nothing not to do that.

If your problem is with putting porn based on real people where those people can see it, that should apply just as much to any smut about live action shows.

da but that's really not the same thing at all. If I write a fic about Steve and Bucky getting down and dirty, the fic is about Steve and Bucky, not the actors playing them. Steve and Bucky are fictional characters who don't actually exist. They're portrayed by actors, but the actors are not the characters. Steve and Bucky aren't two people out there in the real world with real lives, real families, etc. so you can write whatever you want about them without it being weird because they aren't real.

[(Anonymous)]

Sure, I accept that's a good general argument. But if your problem is specifically with RPF being pornographic, I feel like that point kind of evaporates a little, because even though Steve and Bucky are fictional characters, you're still writing porn about the real life bodies of real life people who could conceivably see it.

Not OP, but I feel like there's a bit of a difference between reading porn about someone who looks like you, even EXACTLY like you, and reading porn about someone who looks like you, has your name, lives in your house, and is fucking someone else you personally know. There's ... levels of weird here. Porn about someone who looks like you but has a different name and a different life is different and, I feel, easier to deal with, than porn about someone who looks like you and is clearly meant to BE you. Like, lots of people look broadly like me, and fanfic descriptions usually aren't that precise that way. I can handle it. Someone with my name, living at my real address, fucking someone I actually do know? So much more weird. So much.

There are different levels of weird, I accept that, but it's still putting your gapping fantasies where the people involved can see them. Which is the thing OP said was their problem in the first place.

da and slightly OT.

to be honest i think it's perfectly okay for an actor to be weirded out or even uncomfortable with people shipping their character, everyone is going to have a different response to this, especially when it comes to fanart where it can get a bit more 'real' if you will.

the only time i'd side-eye is if the celeb is only uncomfortable with say same-sex pairs for their character, but is fine with het, that would be a bit sketch imo. but an actor not caring for shipping of their character in general? that's fine, they don't have to like it.

"the only time i'd side-eye is if the celeb is only uncomfortable with say same-sex pairs for their character, but is fine with het, that would be a bit sketch imo."

i can see what you're saying, however an actor is allowed to be uncomfortable with being shipped with a member of the sex they're not attracted to without being homophobic/discriminatory to that sexual orientation, gay or straight.

I feel like it wouldn't be weird to me if they were uncomfortable with being shipped in same-sex pairs if they were straight, in the same way a gay or lesbian person would be uncomfortable with being shipped in opposite-sex pairs and have fanfiction written about them in a romantic way, explicit or not.

thanks for reading

Of course they are allowed, a side-eye isn't a jail sentence.

[(Anonymous)]

Aren't all shippy fanfics with smut "fapping fantasies"? Should people keep that to themselves?

[(Anonymous)]

i don't know how to tell you this but fictional characters don't have feelings, they're incapable of giving a shit about fanfic.

[(Anonymous)]

The actors who play fictional characters have feelings, though. It's funny you're trying to pretend that's not part of the issue.

[(Anonymous)]

Not all fictional characters have been portrayed by actors, and some have been portrayed by several different actors. So even if you had qualms along this line, you could base your fic on written fiction, or comics, or animation and then it wouldn't be related directly to an actor's body.

Even fictional characters played by a single actor are often actually played by multiple people onscreen, with various doubles used for stunts and sometimes nudity and sometimes for shots that don't show the face. And sometimes prosthetics are used to alter the physical appearance (or cgi). So there's still deniability that the character's body is the actor's.

if an actor thinks of themselves as the fictional character then that sounds like a them problem
