As much as I find the thoughtful discussion of literary theory and queering and the metaphysics of RPF and art-as-social-criticism fascinating, I still think it's deeply fucked up to create a sexually explicit depiction of someone without their consent and then shove it in their face. And fandom's inability to grasp that disturbs the hell out of me.

I would probably be mildly grossed out if someone made a manip like that of me or wrote explicit RPF about me without my consent, and then posted it to my journal or in reply to one of my comments. However, I don't assume that my reaction will be identical to everyone else's. It could be a deeply triggering experience for sexual abuse survivors, and we should never assume that someone is not a survivor just because s/he is engaging in sexist, homophobic, transphobic oppression.
