Re: Assignments!

So you'd happily write for ars_belli? You would judge someone who defaulted on her because they know she is a Nazi, even though they were assigned a different fandom?

Like, I don't agree with antis either, but the issue with them is that they harass and doxx people and try to widely enforce rules about what is and isn't acceptable. Not that they have things they consider not moral that they prefer to avoid.

The thing is that so long as ars_belli is a participant, someone must write for ars_belli (except where someone defaults on ars_belli and ars_belli also defaults).

Re: Assignments!

Dude, you literally equate an actual Nazi by belief and an RPF writer by genre.

Way to show your dumb anti ass, I guess.

Re: Assignments!

Your reading comprehension is actually terrible. You should probably look into hobbies other than writing.

Re: Assignments!

[(Anonymous)]

You should read what you're writing.

...no, that's not what I said. I'm using an example of another situation where someone might be like, hmm, I don't want to write for this person even though it doesn't directly affect this fic exchange. Unless you think no one can have personal preferences or opinions, we just have to be okay with anything or we're antis?

Re: Assignments!

That situation is different. What is eyeroll-worthy here is moralising about RPF! And not understanding how RPF works! Your new argument is derailing and a false equivalent to the situation at hand.

Re: Assignments!

[(Anonymous)]

FTLOG coalie, you can understand what RPF is and still not PERSONALLY be okay with it, or not be okay with RPF about specific people. That is what I'm talking about, a PERSONAL choice to not interact with a recip based on your own PERSONAL opinions.

You're right, sex offender apologists ARE a little less horrible than Nazis.

Re: Assignments!

Why the fuck do you think a person writing RPF about a character is a sex offender apologist? How stupid are you?

Re: Assignments!

[(Anonymous)]

Because if they weren't neck deep in apologia they wouldn't be a fan of the sex offender after their shit came out. Let alone writing stories about their face on a meatsuit.

Remember the essay some stan bitch posted about how Patrick Kane wasn't so bad after his rape allegations came out?

This is you projecting.

Re: Assignments!

[(Anonymous)]

This is you revealing you write RPF about shitty people and try to justify it to yourself with bullshit arguments.

Re: Assignments!

[(Anonymous)]

cyrt I don't write rpf at all, just pointing out that your logic doesn't hold up.

Re: Assignments!

[(Anonymous)]

I write RPF about plenty of shitty people and feel zero need to justify myself.

Re: Assignments!

[(Anonymous)]

That is what being a fan of someone means to 99.999% of people. The remaining 0.001% is still wrong, but have deluded themselves into thinking they’re above it all.

And if OP had said "my recip is a fan of a known sex offender", I would even agree. But writing fic about someone =/= being a fan. I've written so much RPF about actors and sports people I can't fucking stand.

Re: Assignments!

[(Anonymous)]

You only ever write about people you think are good persons IRL?

Re: Assignments!

[(Anonymous)]

I certainly don't write about sex offenders.

Lol, after this wank I assume CYRT only writes sanctimonious reader self-insert!

Re: Assignments!

[(Anonymous)]

Plus you're assuming that 1) writing about the person means they're a fan of them specifically as a person and not just a hot face for the fic.
2) that the person knows about the offence and is disregarding it as opposed to not knowing.

Plenty of people write RPF based on handfuls of interviews around their shows, and do no more research than that. Personally if it ends up on mainstream news outlets in my country I'd know about it but if it's only on US or celebrity gossip type sites chances are I'd have no clue as that shit doesn't interest me.

Re: Assignments!

I would happily write for ars_belli and my fic would be all about how Nazis are just a bunch of whiny piss babies that everyone should mock and/or punch. But I guess metaphorically, because I assume ars_belli DNWs Nazi-bashing.

Re: Assignments!

CYRT

No I wouldn't happily write for ars_belli on grounds of them being a RL Nazi. I don't believe that's comparable to someone writing works of fiction I hate, and I honestly find the idea of equating these things dangerous and reprehensible.

Why does it even need to be said? It's obvious!
