i. keep forgetting this is fictional. like objectively i know it is. but then gottie says something and my immediate reaction is just “god man even if they are ~secretly in a relationship~ it’s still none of your business and you shouldn’t out them or- ah yeah none of these people are real right yeah”

okay im reading an unauthorized fan treatise and im loving it already. just finished the prologue and it’s just. perfectly captured the energy of toxic fandom culture. the absolute speculation… i’ve avoided spoilers and i’ve once again literally only just finished the prologue so idk if this is a running theme or something ppl already talk about one of my favorite details so far is just. how much the fandom (or at least the part we see) ignores anya. like it starts with an article talking about how she’s the star of the show and literally no one talks about her or her character. gottie literally removes her section of the interview. that’s so fucking real. the amount of fandoms i’ve been in that just ignore the girl characters/actors to instead focus on gay romance (that most of the time doesn’t exist) is staggering

#the paragraph that was like ‘i don’t ship rpf 😌 but these two ARE secretly in a relationship i’m not shipping it cause it’s REAL’ hurt me #it’s so realistic lmfao #i’ve been in. so many fandoms where people ship the real people and god i feel like i’ve read shit like this so many times #ffs the fact that gottie ships the characters they play also adds to this yknow #like for example. in spn. i think every cockles shipper was a destiel shipper yknow #crazwaz posted #im on chapter 4 now btw #edit: ‘i don’t ship them’ SHE LITERALLY READS FANFIC OF THEM LMAO #also the line ‘those cute gif sets are officially au not canon complaint’ fucking rules #like. it could be a cute way of putting it by comparing it to fandom #however it also draws attention to one of the biggest problems with rpf- treating real people like they’re fictional #edit 2: on chapter 5. calling it now the bit about the gerbils will be important later #my guess rn is someone’s gonna find out who gottie is/where she lives because she gave away that info
