Really not trying to be difficult but can someone please explain to me the difference between the cat person article and what law and order/criminal minds/house/grey’s do? All of those shows base episodes on irl ppl and slightly modify them for tv with no ‘based on’ contribution.
I’m not trying to argue the ethics behind it, but this form of media has been around for awhile, no? For those shows if you are familiar with the person/case/med study you can figure out who it was based on too…
Also is ‘auto fiction’ stuff like the movie Good on Paper? I’m unfamiliar with the terminology…
Just because it’s an existing media form doesn’t make it right. I’m just confused as to why ppl are acting like this has never been done before?
