I used to feel the same way, but I'm not creeped out by RPF in general anymore. I find that public figures, celebrities, cults of personality, whatever you want to call them, offer fictional projections of who they are to us anyway. We do not know these people. We cannot portray them with 100% accuracy. Our opinions of who they are should not matter ultimately.

I don't think RPF transformative works are stalker-like in and of themselves. It's fiction writing, which is usually more about the projection of the authors than the characters in the stories anyway. People who harass and bash celebrities on social media are far worse and more likely to cause real harm, IMO.

That said, NGL, I'm still creeped out by true crime as a fandom. I don't want to judge the fans, I truly don't, but that is THE fandom that I don't get. Maybe we all have that one ick we just can't reconcile with?

I disagree about celebrities and co. giving off fake personalities as a whole. It sounds like a weird excuse that enforces the kind of dehumanization RPF does as a whole, imo.

I also disagree entirely that fiction writing means self-insterting yourself as a rule. That's just not true.
And while I agree that outright bashers are worse, there is a lot of overlap between the more deluded RPFers that harass celebrities. Gaylors for example.
