THIS x 1,000. Like, would you write RPF about your boss or your kid's teacher? Probably not, right? So then why is writing it about celebrities somehow okay?

[(Anonymous)]

Because being paid to do anything in front of a camera is the same as selling your identity to anyone with a fetish and a keyboard.

We have this same discussion every time the "I have the inalienable right to have my RPF encouraged and rewarded" crowd starts in. It's not enough that they have a platform for their fic and no one will actively discourage them from writing it. If you don't constantly validate them for the twincest fic that they plan to make James and Oliver Phelps sign, you are literally Satan.

That about sums it up, yeah.

[(Anonymous)]

This is a ridiculous comparison

[(Anonymous)]

How so?

[(Anonymous)]

Because you have a personal relationship with your boss or your kid's teacher, whereas your access to celebrities is mediated through a prism of publicity and PR and image.

The problems tend to arise when fans forget that distinction.

[(Anonymous)]

And even teachers have admitted to 'shipping' their students and organizing seating charts (when they can) to put certain students together.

[(Anonymous)]

da.

yeah see i find that creepy too.

[(Anonymous)]

My best friend is a teacher and I just mentioned this to her and she found the idea super creepy, so.

[(Anonymous)]

Ah, right, because the magical "public persona" isn't really them.

[(Anonymous)]

Of course it's not really them? At best, it's one very specific, often consciously-shaped, facet of who they are. A one-way interaction with that persona from a distance is fundamentally different from the relationship that you have with your boss or your kid's teacher. Ergo, it's ridiculous to compare them.

And that doesn't necessarily mean that RPF is good, it just means that particular comparison isn't good.

nayrt

But... yes? I think it would be weirder to assume that I know anything real about them.
