Is it also dehumanizing to have sexual fantasies about celebrities? Because I don't see why daydreaming about having sex with Christian Bale is totally normal and healthy but daydreaming about Christian Bale having sex with Bryce Dallas Howard is sick and wrong. What's the difference?

I think it's obviously a question of degrees but there's also clearly a point at which it goes from "daydreaming about sexual fantasies" to "obsessive interest in treating a person like a fictional character" and that's the point where it becomes dehumanizing, when you get to the point of tinhatting and when people think that their sexual fantasies have some relation to the reality of the person and think they know the reality of the person involved and follow the news about them relentlessly and even judge their actions and life through the lens of their RPS stuff.

I don't think that's a particularly difficult distinction to make.

Don't paint all RPF shippers with the same brush. The vast majority of us are well aware it's nothing more than a sexy fantasy. It's just that the aggressive ones get all the attention.

Fucking this. I don't get why this is so hard for rpf-haters to understand. I don't know any crazy tinhatters in my current fandom. I'm sure they exist, but I haven't encountered them and if I did I wouldn't associate with them, because EVERYONE thinks that shit is creepy. But people who think they're married to Loki on the astral plane are taking it too far too, creepy obsession in fandom isn't limited to people who like RPF.

no their partners should not die in a fire to accomodate your ship and no, stealing personal pictures of celebrities is not okay.

Sounds to me like the OP is talking about the creepy ones. If you don't do this kind of thing, then don't take it personally.

Correct! I don't mind fic or art, but I do mind if they insist the actual two people MUST be in love and it seeps into real life, and feels stalker-ish.

NA

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for understanding the difference between the two groups.

daydream about it all you want, but once you start writing fanfic and drawing fanart and making it a public spectacle? that's when it gets creepy. it's not like writing fic about fictional characters, those are real people and it's creepy and dehumanizing to treat them like dolls that you can make kiss for funsies.

This. Exactly.
