No, you (or the anon of that is not you) said 'what would be the purpose' of the fic authors giving a heads up to the video creators, and I said the reason would be the same argument for giving a heads up to the fic authors - letting them know in case they don't want that attention.

But putting forward that argument doesn't preclude the existence of other arguments, nor did it mean the effect of that courtesy has to be equal for both parties.

In relation to parasocial fandom, I am talking specifically about the shipper types - you know, the ones who basically sit on the sidelines/comments shouting 'kiss!!'. For some fans, RPF normalises this behaviour by reinforcing the feeling that the subjects are characters for their entertainment. Some subjects would find this behaviour more uncomfortable than others, and I bet all of them would prefer their fandom not be based on the fantasy that they're fucking their costar/collaborator.
