I just need to confess something, feel free to ignore! I admire anyone who can write RPF with a straight face, or without feeling bad. I used to write RPF when I was around 15, but over the years I’ve become so ashamed and scared of writing things and people “wrong” that I’ve stopped altogether. Lately I’m kind of wishing to get into it again but I know I’m just too ashamed and scared to do it. I always worry the people might stumble across it. I know thought crimes don’t exist but I already feel terrible for imagining myself interacting with this person… they have no idea I exist and that makes it so weird of me I feel like.

I totally get feeling embarrassed about it.

A lot of our opinions about rpf formed when we were 16 in high school and one of the girls in our friend-circle wrote a lot of explicit smut about the band Good Charlotte.

TBH my personal feeling is that celebrities have a ‘media persona’ that is essentially the same as a fictional character, and it doesn’t bother me when other people ship them. But I would personally feel embarrassed about the idea of doing so.

RPF is definitely a more complex topic than fanfic that only includes fictional characters.

You know, if they really cared about rpf of minors on platforms, then maybe they should, idk, advocate to have fanfic be included with the visual representation law as well. Because you can’t get mad at AO3 for following US law to a T and not question why the US law has made visual CSEM/CSAM illegal(of real breathing minors), but didn’t include the text form of that as well. Just saying, AO3 isn’t the flawed one here for being within it’s country of origins law, look at the country of origin itself for not thinking this through.But you know what they say, just because it’s the law, doesn’t mean it’s always right. Which is what you told them, but they didn’t listen.

Why get into the serious world of political advocacy when what you really want is an excuse to be mean and nasty to people online?
