I understand where you're coming from, OP. Fic/art/roleplay of this is just not cool, and unfortunately, not everyone uses their brain, even when living in an age during a serious situation like this. We can chalk it up to dumb fans and argue and bean them in the face, or we can tell them what they're doing wrong, hope they learn their lesson, and focus on trying to help Japan in any way we can - no matter our fandom.
I will say that some of the fandom IS sane, and is keeping up with the news and respecting the wishes of the Japanese fandom to not dick around like that with fanstuff (someone posted the opinions on Pixiv, and it's been spread around to make sure everyone gets the message, I wish I had the link on me).
If worse comes to worse, go up to your fandom "friends" and explain how their actions are making you feel. If they have any sense, they'll realize what they've done.
Also, do you have any relatives over there right now? Are they okay? I'm sorry, you don't know me, but I legitimately worry.
