AYRT

I think I spent like two months in LotR fandom after the first or second movie came out, and I have almost no memories of it, so it was probably so awful that I mentally blanked it out. Wasn't there some extreme tinhatting in the 'they're wearing this particular shirt which means they're sending out super secret messages that they're secretly dating' kind of way, or am I mixing that up with something else? Oh, and I do remember some crazy fan walking up to the actors in a restaurant and showing them RPF about them. So, yeah, I kinda understand why this would make you wary against RPF as a whole.

I came into fandom in general via a small-ish, mostly sane and wank-free sports RPF fandom, so RPF was normal for me before I got into FPF, and that definitely influenced my stance on it.

This entire conversation is awfully civil for coal. When are we going to start calling each other names?

I know, it's awful. Quick, let's start some wank so people can have the coal experience they came for! This cult of nice thing just won't do.

I'm curious what the reaction would be to Nazi RPF where the writer or requester was obviously anti-Nazi, and had Hitler being raped repeatedly by the Incredible Hulk or something equally nasty?

There would be outrage about it because it's such an obvious attempt to sneak MCU into Yuletide!!11!!!

You don't need RPF to write Hitler as a character being raped, though, do ya? So many fandoms where a dead guy can be brought back to life, or revised history would work, wouldn't it? You can make fun of and do horrible things to Nazis in so many fandoms. Even RPF, because you can throw fantasy into anything you want, can't ya?

Also, I'm flatmeming, but LOLs to the comment below that people would freak about someone slipping MCU into Yuletide. *high five*
