Re: Op here

Not OP and this isn't directed at you but at whoever reads this:

Ultimately, I feel that this first point should boil down to a discussion of sex and pornography that can't equate to and much less be summed up in RPF. See, I enjoy RPF in a sense but I never wrote porn about real people and I did read some, but they're little more than words in a paper; I don't take fanfic seriously in general and I treat RPF with even less gravity. I don't like porn in general, unlike... most of fandom, so I think it's valid to be creeped out by porn of real people. But those same people don't think it's valid when, say, real children are creeped out by porn involving fictional children. And of course the people in the fic are NOT the real people (do we have to keep saying it like it's news?) so why should it be any MORE uncomfortable or serious?

As for the second point, well, I guess people can get creative about anything. I don't see what's wrong or scary about it, honestly. As long as they're not... being hurtful or hateful in their creativity, I see no wrong. Even if they are, well, I guess most people see no wrong too. (See: anti-antis arguments.)

As for the third point, well, I hate toxic fandom dynamics in any situation as well so maybe this is why I don't see this as an issue that should be summarized in or represented by RPF. Honestly, some of the warmest fandoms I've been into are/were also full of RPF - but people were very respectful in general and the personalities were more likely to laugh about it than go No Homo!.

The only argument I'd take seriously is that RPF isn't good because people take it too seriously, but this goes for biopics in the same way. And well honestly - hate paparazzi as well, for that matter.

At the end of the day I just agree with OP's points a lot. I take a movie a lot more seriously than fanfic - let's be honest, you can sit down and write a dumb randomly inspired fic on your own in less than one hour ; you can't do this with a movie, it takes time and a team and it's creepier to me that nobody ever went "hey, maybe we should... NOT do this?" - and I guess it all boils down to this. I see some people here take fanfic VERY seriously, even because some are professionals who had their start with fanfic or whatever, and I don't, even because I am not that fluent in English. So people come from different places and have different reasons. It's all fine. But if you're going to be hard on me just because I said this TV personality inspires me to write or just imagine something about cute relationship dynamics, really, I have every right to be hard on you as well.
