/!\ Opinion Ahead /!\
These past days I've tried to get down with the RP RPG and keep my yap shut, but I just can't. I'm too opinionated for that, okay. I think Real People Fic, when written without explicit permission, is disrespectful and a violation of other people's privacy.
Legal issues and squick factor aside, this is what it boils down to for me: I know I would be utterly mortified and feel violated if I ever found out that someone wrote a fic like that about me. I would feel a great deal of resentment towards that writer. If I don't want something done to me, I can't be okay with it being done to others. Simple as that.
I’m not trying to tell anyone what to do (pfft! As if!), I’m expressing my opinion. People say they have the right to write RPF; I have the right to not read it. And to hate it. And to post about how much it bothers me. Just as much as you have the right to defend it and post about how much fun it is.
...she said and alienated half the people on her friends list.
Ah well, at least I’ve waited until after no-kerfuffle day.
