Re: 143 148 155
I think my problem is that what constitutes "canon" for me in a real world sense is different from what constitutes it for me in a fictional sense. For me canon in fiction would be, in a sense, those interviews. Basically the words on the page from the original source.
However for me real life, canon is truth. What actually is happening, what the person really feels, what really motivates them. Canon would be an autobiography or a biography.
The question becomes is it okay to deviate from canon and to what degree. And in the fictional world this comes up as well, with many people who cannot tolerate non-canonical pairings. And I'll argue it's fine to ignore canon for that. The major difference is that the character in fiction is just an idea, originated with canon, but having no intrinsic existence outside of peoples minds. Characters exist soley for the entertainment of those who read and write about them. They have no feelings or self-awareness. New canons can be made for them, the way Dracula has been reimagined many times over the centuries. It seems that to say that people can't have these alternate realities is denying part of the worth of the character.
But for a real person, there is self-awareness. One can call it just using the public persona, as though it is unconnected with the actual person, but really, is it? Emotionally, when an actor sees his or her name, does she think, oh that's not me, that's no reflection on my worth or what people think of me, I have nothing to do with this? Is this a concern for the community how the person feels about their name being used in such away?
Velvet Mace is not a character I made up to dance like a monkey for the entertainment of others, its part of me -- my public face. When a spider took that name and embedded it into the google search for a bunch of porn sites (and weirdly enough one movie trailer), I was pretty pissed. I didn't endorse any of those things and they had nothing to do with me, and I couldn't control any of it. Velvet Mace isn't my real name, but still it's a part of my identity, and even though I do write porn, I don't want someone googling my name in hopes of finding a fic being redirected to some nasty fetish porn site. Thankfully most of that has passed, and only a few of those spam connections remain (most of them attached to chinese sites, go figure).
So ultimately, I guess the question for me comes down to -- are celebrities not deserving of the same human consideration I'd give non-celebrities. And I just can't see why I would treat one differently.
