You say this but then someone else goes and says "oh, but Supernatural and One Direction fandoms are..." as if those people didn't have plenty of media exposure too though.

Honestly, if they are influenced by RPF isn't that... their fault? Because RPF is just what it is: Fiction. Of course, if you have a public persona you're prone to getting a lot of hate comments and you should know that your mental health will suffer. And you should also know that there will be paparazzi outside your door and following you on a date, probably, and you should also know that people will approach you with bad intentions. There will be drugs and shameless proposals. Your privacy will be severely invaded. Your reality WILL be warped, by default. In exchange, you get money and fame. Why would a couple of fellows sharing "hey they look like they'd make a cute couple" bug them any more than the rest? This is what I don't get. If some of them take it damn seriously, well, ... their fault? It's obviously not meant to be serious. Unless it is, but those cases should be taken more seriously I believe, court-seriously. I'd love for maniacs to become jurisprudence.

Sorta? But also fandoms are communities and the ability for communities to shift thinking is notoriously either a benefit or detriment of communities. I think it's a little of both. I think we should all take personal responsibility for, like, not getting caught up in bs, and also that we understand that no one is too smart to get caught up and communities are environments which are made to influence thought.

I think again sorta? But the problem with celebrity is that it is a state of commodification in which the only thing you can sell is yourself. I think it makes sense to expect a little of warpage with fame (some of which the celebrities themselves will cause) and also for the celebrities to get mad that they are not in control of their salability and that they will have a devil of a time convincing people that not all of them is for sale.
