Ah, I get you. I was talking about the exchange context because you said your request/offer it and I wanted to know how you would feel if someone had a rapist in the tagset, like a Dr Luke or whatever Kesha's rapist's name is nom.

I guess the best thing you could do is an emergency PH if the author mentioned it, and a general statement somewhere along the lines of “gratuitous and prurient depictions of real life traumas involving real characters”? Although that’s so vague as to be nearly toothless.

Yeah :/ That's why I wanted to talk about it. For what it's worth, I'm on the side of how the mods handle RPF that overlaps with IRL issues but, like I said, I nope out when the IRL issues happen so it wouldn't impact me. I just wanted to know if you had a POV as someone who maybe would still stan the fictional aspect of them. No RPF fic is so in character that it's the same as a reality show of the same people and I can kinda understand staying in the RPF fandom but not caring about the actual real person anymore, but it seemed like you still wouldn't want a Dr Luke in the tagset. So I asked if you were/how you felt. Thanks for answering!
