Why do people assume everyone who doesn't like RPF reads tabloids? They're both squicky, okay? How many times does it need to be said?

How many times does it need to be said?

Well, considering it hasn't been said AT ALL in this thread, maybe once?

And I didn't assume everyone reads them, but I rarely see ~campaigning~ against gossip websites, etc (which are sorta different from tabloids, at least in the sense that they exist in the same webspace as LiveJournal or even are on LJ) in the same way there is against RPF.

edit: and that's also why I pointed out how, imo, rpf is better than tabloids, in case someone does think tabloids are completely icky, because I don't belief the two are exactly the same.

The gossip sites are far worse, IMO, because they present themselves in such a way that leads some people to believe that what they say might be true.

I remember a gossip site recently spreading the rumor that Michelle Obama is pregnant.

I think in our fandom, there could definitely be a place for ObamaWhiteHouseBaby!fic - the difference is, they wouldn't be trying to get people to BELIEVE it. It would be clearly labeled FICTION.

Like all fiction, it would be all about the "What if?"

Oh yeah, I definitely agree gossip sites are worse. and the difference is, they wouldn't be trying to get people to BELIEVE it is exactly something I said in a previous comment. There's two major differences between gossip sites and fic: one, fic is done by fans, so it's favorable, whereas gossip is much more likely to be catty or malicious; secondly, exactly what you said -- gossip sites make out what they say to be true (or likely to be true) whereas fanfic usually says right up front that none of it is true.

I totally agree, and I think the 'what if' is totally valid - you know, what if our guys (politicians, rock bands, actors, etcetera) were pirates or medieval knights or outer space soldiers or vampires or what have you, is a creative impulse worth enjoying between friends in its own right.

So are sexual fantasies, for that matter. If there's anything pop culture understands well, it's the natural human tendency to wank over attractive famous people. I bet the Romans had a cottage industry where you could buy drawings of your favorite gladiators nude. Maybe there were even proto-slashers who would, for the right price, draw them doing each other for you. I really do not get the pearl-clutchers who act like this is some scary new thing Those Kids Today get up to on That Internet.

(I know I'm talking to a like-minded soul here. I just feel like typing. :D)

You know, I really bet that's true. Look at what they wrote about their gods. And what they put on pottery.

Absolutely. We don't know who those figures on those erotic mosaics and pottery, etc. were supposed to BE. Maybe they were famous theater actors or musicians or athletes or, dare I say it, Senators, of the day.

Creepy? Maybe. Also, still, 2,000 years later, HOT.

1) LMAO and nodding along at this whole thread. :D Exactly this whole discussion.
2) Don't see you enough in the polislash comms lately! You are missed!
