(Anonymous) 2021-12-09 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)Search for Louis Tomlinson: 49845
Search for Louis Tomlinson with RPF filtered out: 48060
So only 1785 out of 49845 fanworks about a real life person, who repeatedly stated that RPF makes him uncomfortable, is tagged as RPF. That's 3.58% of the total RPF fanworks about one person alone. Granted, it's better for video blogging RPF, because it exists as its own category, but a lot of fics about actors and bands are tagged with just the actor and band's name, with no RPF tag anywhere on the fic.
You've been fired from snopes.

(Anonymous) 2021-12-09 04:40 pm (UTC)(link)But let's go further! I checked the top viewed fics on AO3 by number of hits. 3 out of top 6 was Video Blogging RPF fics. Dream SMP RPF specifically, despite existing for only a year. It beats fanfics even from major fandoms that existed for decades, such as Harry Potter, or Marvel multiverse.
Tell me again how totally unpopular RPF is in fandom today.
