No one is obligated to be respectful. People can say what ever they want to who ever they want. I am not actually angry at him, I just thought he was a classier guy than that. I am not saying he's wrong for having an opinion and expressing it, I didn't expect him to be that blunt.

I don't see how being displeased with peoples' writing and drawing porn of you, and thinking it's stupid and annoying, is un-classy. Sure, he could have been a bit less blunt, and it probably was not the wisest move in terms of attracting a following, but I don't think that people who push their porn of other people into those other peoples' faces really get to complain if the other people say unkind things about it.

There's this weird attitude a lot of people seem to have that "If strangers know your name for any reason, your body and sex life/preferences are public domain and we can do whatever we want with them!" that I find extremely creepy. It's like the Simpsons episode where Homer says "If celebrities didn't want people going through their trash and saying they're gay, they shouldn't have tried to express themselves creatively!" I find the whole thing to be in very bad taste---write or draw what you will, but keep such things out of the sight of the people you're using for inspiration, at least. That's just basic courtesy.

[monkeyonthelam]

I agree whole heartedly with your last point, I think people should keep things to themselves as much as possible, but not everything can stay buried with the internet being what it is. He had to know something like this was going to come up eventually. Also, I draw the distinction between the spirit of a fictional character and the actor who plays him Spock is a fictional character. Zach is not Spock and I think that when people write fic about Spock, they might be thinking about Zach's portrayal of the character, but not the actor himself.

It's still his face on the fanart, though. Plus he doesn't like the ship to begin with, so expecting him to be all happy-peppy about people trying to make him ship it or be enthusiastic about fanworks revolving around it is asking a bit much imo. And knowing something is possible or likely doesn't mean that you're going to like it when it shows up.

I think the biggest problem really is that people who get superinvested in their ships try and shove them in the faces of the actors who portray the characters in the ship. They're trying to drag those people into their ship, into their fic and art, even when those people really do not want to be involved. There is this difficulty that some fans seem to have in distinguishing between actor and character, and it can lead to some not-so-nice results (look at what the aforementioned SPN fandom has done to their favorite actors in the past.) It's not so much a problem of the internet as it is a problem of some of the FANS and their terrible behavior.

[monkeyonthelam]

I think you are splitting hairs here. Is it still his face if he has pointy ears, a bowl cut and vulcan eyebrows? I am not expecting him to be happy about it. He doesn't need to ship it or even like it, just not be so vitriolic about it.

I stay away from Supernatural, so I don't get any of the references you are making. But I have been in a fandom where I don't agree with the main ship. Do I attack them and say they are crap no? From what I understand Supernatural has some of the scariest fans in fandom. It is not necessarily fair to compare fans of other shows/movies/books etc to them.

Yes. All of this.

I completely agree with everything you're saying here. Things I've seen happening in other fandoms recently - I am completely over this whole thing of shoving your ships in whatever way in the actors' faces and then getting upset when they're not wholeheartedly endorsed.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, yes, and yes.

Quit making so much sense. The logic is overwhelming.
