The anon above brings up a good point about sex scenes in RPF versus biopics. (Though I was the anon that got skeeved out by the male gaze in Tina Turner's rape scene, and how my male family members gathered around the TV for that...) I'd like to add my own take that biopics tend to carry the burden of appearing educational since they deal with historical events. Some of them will even get shown in schools as something to study.

That isn't to say that mainstream media featuring completely fantasy stuff about real life historical figures doesn't exist, like Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Slayer (though possibly not the best example, because the book was very well researched from a history perspective), or the anime Yasuke. I just think there's more sensitivity in the mainstream field to "get things right," not only to not make a mockery of real life people being portrayed, and also not be incorrect to history. Biopics do get critiqued and discussed by people for failing to be historically accurate.
