Hot Take on Fanfiction Today!

I myself love fanfiction! I fact, I mostly prefer them over canon works, and consume those daily. I have my OTP's, a favourite writer and a list of fandoms I regulairly visit.

One thing I always make sure if is that the characters i ship are fictional, for example; anime / book characters or the protagonist of a movie series.

Real life people are Actors, Musicians, Celebrities. I will never, ever read work about those.

Those are real life people. Unlike fictional characters, they have real emotions and can give / withdraw consent. Consent which we don't have when we post our works publicly.

I honestly don't care if they ever said something along the lines of 'I don't mind fanfics' or 'I favour those'. That is not real consent for posting a hardcore p*rn fic with their names on it for thousands of strangers to see.

And im so fucking sick of seeing works like those spread out all across the internet.

It may not 'hurt anyone', but it's a direct breach and attack on their privacy and human dignity.

I don't care about soft fluffy cuddel fics with self insert charas. Those are questionable, but acceptable. But Real People Fanfics? If you want to write those, just share them with your friends, and don't post them for all the world too see.

You're just dehumanizing the celebrity you claim to care for, and using them (or the idea of them) for nonconsensual p*rn.

Don't normalise that shit please. It's not ok.

(If there is a point I did not see, or a really good counter argument, please write me. Otherwise, stfu)
