I used to hate them a lot but then Iāve grown to realize that it really doesnāt hurt anyone? You know, like most fan fiction. Itās not real and itās in no way going to change your life unless you let it. After listening to how a lot of youtubers feel about it, it both seems pretty easy to ignore and even tho they might not read it they enjoy the simple idea that people have enough passion to do things like this. Not everyone can draw Cute pictures of people and as a writer thereās not much to write about thatās silly or fun like fan fic.
From what I can tell most of this stuff is made for laughs anyways, there was a fan fic about a YouTubed and their passionate love with a lamp.... like a desk lamp. Yes. Itās just one of those things where getting upset about it feels like a waste of your daily energy output. Let people be weird and enjoy themselves.
I only feel a bit of cring when people start to make serious money off of it but- eh free markets, and MOST of the time they usually start changing names and places.
Maybe Iām very neutral about the entire thing since Fifty shades was published and had movie deals, but I just honestly donāt see a reason to be disgusted over it. Of course hate it because itās bad and poorly writer and is a shitty story with no direction, but to act like itās going to severely effect people in a negative way is a bit silly. Fan fic shouldnāt be effecting your life on a level where your questioning your identity because your in love with your friend/a lamp.
Again fan fic is just a passionate fan and having passionate fans is a good thing, means your doing something right.
