I think op's only fault here is not adding more context that the fic was about a real child. I wouldn't have known too and I would've thought they were just complaining about a fictional ship if I hadn't checked the qrts.

@myst1calx This is why I check the qrts first before making a comment 😭 Yet at the same time, I can't fully blame people who truly didn't know the full context of it. I just wish they make it a habit to double check next time before jumping into conclusions.

@bearbrandmilkk One of my worst fears as a proshipper is having one of my favorite books get a live action. I used to think fiction of that was okay bc you're not writing them as the actor they are, but you're writing them as the character from the book, if you catch my drift. I'm not sure tho

@bearbrandmilkk Same, it baffles me that some people think it’s okay to write rpf involving real life children

@bearbrandmilkk I've seen NSFW proship art of the scarlet witch sons from Wandavision.. and honestly I'm on the fence. Yes it's weird, but it's not based on the actors but it's based on the characters the actors played which are fictional..

@bearbrandmilkk Alright I can see why this is dicey. If the character is solely based on a live actor who is a minor and that is the only source of media, then yeah it’s weird. Radical anti-censorship is radical for a reason tho. This is definitely testing the boundaries of it.

@bearbrandmilkk Isn't that the characters rather than the actors? I don't know the fandom but thats what I was told

@bearbrandmilkk Seen people saying it’s RPF but how? It’s about characters not the actors isn’t it

@bearbrandmilkk It took me 30 seconds on Google to figure out that these are TV show characters. Not real people.

@bearbrandmilkk Yeah it's a hard pass on making darkfic of real people or drawing darkfic of an actor's likeness that plays the character. Those should be some boundaries

@bearbrandmilkk Same. Op didn't even care to mention that a child actor's likeness was used; too busy complaining about "they're father and son!!"

@bearbrandmilkk This is why I don't call myself proship. The amount of people who genuinely think this is okay as long as it stops "real kids" (like the actor isn't a real kid) from being hurt. And it's not like all of them don't know what's happening, it's that they don't care.
