Re: general RPF fandom discussion
From: (Anonymous)Ah, I think I understand how you're reading the meta compared to how I'm reading it. I didn't really read the point of the meta as RPF being used to fix canon because I don't view "fix-it" fics as a means to "fix" canon, personally. The connotation of "fixing" is that the canon is bad and wrong, and in FPF the canon just is. If you follow the author's line of thought were RPF is basically fiction, as I was reading their thought to be, I didn't view her appeal to continuing to write Kane as a way to "fix" what he did.
In regards to using the meta to say she wants people to not have an issue with her continuing to write Kane, isn't that just the opposite of what we're doing on this meme? We're essentially stating in a public sphere that we have the right not to read/write Kane and people should be okay with that. The only difference is that we aren't in namespace and that our argument is the one deemed to be "acceptable". (I use quotes because if someone is completely removed from the situation and neutral (something that wouldn't happen), the majority view would be taken as the acceptable one.)
When many people in fandom don't even let this shit fly in the fictional worlds they are fannish for. And they stop supporting those fictional entities because to continue supporting them would be tantamount to approving them.
On a personal note, I participate in fandoms where characters are rapists and I don't see writing or reading about them as "supporting them". A fictional character is just that to me, a fictional character, and enjoying a canon they inhabit isn't a reflection of what I believe to be correct in real life just as much as having rape fantasies makes me think that rape is good and okay. (Hockey RPF fandom, though, is definitely different than a completely fictional fandom, so yes, not really supporting reading or writing Kane.)

That's a false equivalent. It has always, always been acceptable to not write or read Kane fic, ffs. People having a problem with that would be downright bizarre.
Re: general RPF fandom discussion
From: (Anonymous)How is that a false equivalent? It's just saying that the opposite is also something that is being done; it's not saying that they're the same thing. When I wrote that, I meant that both should be allowed, no matter which is right or wrong or bizarre or not. I just add Kane to AO3 savior and call it a day if I don't want to see it.
