Fair, I'm 100% totally not in RPF fandom, so I really would have no idea if these conversations are happening. :D I've been in fandoms with like, shades of RPF fic of the actors, but I'll read one or two and then drift on, totally not the same thing. I would love to hear your thoughts, because it's been really interesting watching the Hamilton fandom stumble around these issues (with the occasional person going "that's not how really happened and also they were all white" bursting in.)

The World Judgement sucks though. :(

Although...what's the line between RPF and actor fandom? I sort of always assumed it was just an extreme end of RPF fandom, like people who actually believe in Hogwarts were the extreme end of normal HP fandom. And they would sort of drift into the more mainstream stuff sometimes, or feed off it, because not every corner of fandom is healthy. (Which is fine, not a commentary on RPF fandom, which I will totally defend.)

I DO remember the LOTR fans tinhatting stuff, although, yeah, I saw it in LotR fandom spaces that I was floating around. I guess the lines between these fandoms are more malleable than they feel sometimes. IDK, I'm a total noob to this entire giant side of fandom, so I guess I should start digging around for some good metas before I start acting like I have any idea what I'm talking about!
