How do you feel about shows like The Queen, etc? I know some people don't mind most mainstream RPF if it's about dead people and there's a GREAT deal of dramatic license, but the queen is literally still alive and probably watching it at the palace IRL.

NAYRT but it's... there are some lines where I feel like it's different? Mainstream RPF tends to be about events and persons of some historical import-- even if that historical import is cultural or pop-cultural rather than political. There is sometimes speculation about private lives, which is not so different from RPF that regular people write on the internet... but there's also...

I mean 'oversight' isn't exactly the word I want, but there are people who consult on things or make arrangements with living historical figures or the estates of dead ones, or the story is about an EVENT and I can accept some filling in of gaps in well-documented things.

And sometimes those shows or films will be gross and exploitative-- and if mainstream RPF is disrespectful I think that's a lot worse than a group of young women sharing stories amongst themselves (though the fans who shove it at the people they're writing about or make them uncomfortable with speculation, like... that's not cool).

But I mean, Citizen Kane was RPF with the serial numbers filed off, and if Hearst hadn't made such a stink over it, it might not have gained the fame that led to its place in cinema history today. So who am I to judge I guess?

ayrt

I hate, hate, hate them! They're honestly worse than casual RPF done by fans because they literally exist to slander and make a profit off of someone who literally cannot say anything dead or alive because in a literal lawsuit between Olivia de Havilland (at age 101) and the TV shitshow 'Feud' even when a show complete fictionalizes you there's nothing you can do because someone can't, and I quote "own history" even though it's her fucking life they're lying about! Seriously it's completely disgusting to me that people get away with this, to make money off of it. That people actually believe what they see on TV because hiding behind a 'based on' apparently means more than the truth. They pretend it's true, at least RPF fans have 'fiction' in their name base...

^ in the secret below someone mentioned shows like this, and I left a bigger rant there, figured I should share it here?
