I'm not sure that my views on RPF/RPS are unpopular because I know a lot of people who share them. I consider RPF to be my main fandom, if it could be considered a fandom in its own right, and in that I am as pedantic about detail as I would be about things related to a fictional fandom that has published "canon". There seems to be lots of imaginary lines and squick triggers for many people in RPF - the fact that it happens at all; the mention of real-life partners; the use of real-life events as context. But all this is meat and drink to me. Anyone who writes RPF that doesn't reference anything to do with that person's life is essentially writing an original story with characters that have familiar names. I don't think I have a squick for anything in RPF at all except stuff that I consider to be out of character.
