I do judge people who actively invest themselves in RPF, tbh. I avoid it as much as I can, and the only time I don't is when it's mentioned on here. My problem with it is that we're dealing with real people, whos personal lives are no one's business but their own. Of course there are crazy fans in every fandom, but RPF is objectively the only case where the fallout can and will cause problems for the people they involve. It's different when fans embarrass themselves on Twitter asking Neil Gaiman about his characters because there is still a break where fiction and reality can be separated. Even if it's just one person, going out of their way to harass an actor, calling their family fake/beards/whatever because they cant tell the difference between the character and the actor/don't want too, it's still one person too many.
Technically this has affected me, I was close to two guys from high school who had their friendship ruined because some girls got creepy and decide to 'ship' them. I've seen people get laughed at for saying they were 'saving themselves' for a fictional character. The difference is that you can do something to yourself all you want, but letting your lack of personal boundary ruin the life of somebody else is just a shitty thing to do. That's why I care so much.
