I used to be part of a fandom that involved real people and there was a fairly popular ship in it. I think some people may have wrote fanfics about it but there was an actual doujinshi made for the ship, one that I actually bought. There were a few small comics (with bad art) in it and some fanfics. All in Japanese that I never had the patience to try to read.
There was much debate over shipping them much like this. This was over ten years ago and I didn't think nor care much about it then.
But nowadays, I'm not a fan of it. When people started to become more vocally disapproving of it, I thought about it a bit more and quickly lost interest in it. It's fun to think about and joke about, but going to the length of writing fanfic or drawing fanart can go too far too quickly. There's a fine line between admiration and harassment.
Going off what @gempompadour said, that outright sounds like sexual harassment. Not only could they be expelled, but even arrested for doing something like that.
