I want to preface this by saying I hope this does not come off mean of hateful as that is not my intention. I can see that you are an incredibly talented writer and deserve all the praise that you get! With that being said, would you not consider it wrong to write smut about real people? Take Cillian Murphy for example, his characters I see no issue with as ultimately they are fictional but to write smut about him in my opinion is wrong. He cannot consent to this and i can’t imagine having strangers write their fantasies about me let alone their sexual ones. It feels inappropriate. Again i don’t mean this in a hateful way but i really want to understand your perspective on this.

I wanna thank you for being so respectful about this, I'm always happy to engage in a good faith discussion with people who are honestly trying to understand something better.

and mainly, I understand what you're saying and don't even really disagree with most of it. I can't deny it's definitely less ethical to write about real people than characters. but when I write about "cillian murphy" I'm not, in my mind, writing about the actual person but a fictionalized version-- similar to those who write about cillian's portrayal of oppenheimer or austin butler's elvis or whatever, you know? I understand it's still, ultimately, pretty creepy lmao. but I also think it's meant to be kept in this space where he has a 0% chance of finding it and that's how I am able to write it without feeling too bad about it. it, like everything else on this blog, is fiction and doesn't intend to really depict anything serious.

so, I obviously see your point, but to me it's still fictional and separate from the real person. the reality is that famous people will be the object of fantasy (like you said) and writing it down is really only taking it one step further, to me it's fine as long as you're not fucking harassing the person or whatever.

frankly I just wouldn't consider my blog the most moral place to hang out. there's plenty of stuff more offensive here than fanfiction about a random dude who probably has no idea that tumblr exists lmao so it just seems like it would be a pretty arbitrary line in the sand to draw.
