hackthis_archiveThoughts on RPS
Argument: It’s illegal!
Response: So is jaywalking
Argument: It’s immoral!
Response: So is lying on your taxes
Argument: It’s blasphemous!
Response: Only if you’re writing porn involving Jesus. (And okay, so not my thing)
Argument: It’s wrong!
Response: Apparently, so is eating red meat, smoking and drinking anything stronger than milk. It all depends on your POV. Did someone die and make you Lady Justice?
Argument: You wouldn’t like it done to you, would you?
Response: I like a lot of things done to me. You should ask before you assume.
Argument: It’s a violation of personal privacy.
Response: I’m not looking through someone’s rubbish. I’m not hacking anyone’s personal files. I’m not making anyone out to be a bloody murderer, thank you very much.
Argument: I bet (insert subject here) would be disgusted!
Response: Well then I guess it’s a good thing I’m not making him read it.
Argument: You’re going to hell!
Response: Well yes, but that was decided long before I got into this.
*If RPS is not your thing, that is fine. I can understand and respect that. It's your preogative and more power to you. I don't foist my opinions on people who don't actively solicit them. However, do not insinuate that I'm a bad person simply because my tastes are different from yours.

Date: 2003-03-30 01:00 pm (UTC)Actually, your first argument is wrong. RPS isn't illegal. [It's far more legal than regular fic, that's for sure.] Reason: The people being written about are public figures. More importantly, they're public figures who put themselves in the limelight. Due to the clearly fictional nature of the pieces written, they can't even claim libel/slander and win a case since no reasonable person would believe the actions taken were real.
