You must be new to the world of fandoms if you don't understand the slippery slope that you're pushing the fans down (ALL fans, including all of the babydykes who write bad y/n fic). VERY slippery slope.
"Her team" and her family members know very well that this explicit shit is out there. There's nothing she can do about it because fandom has creative freedom, even if it's for (and I hate this shit) RPF. The written fictional word is still sacred, despite whatever nouveau Puritanism the TikTok generation's been trying to insist upon fiction writers.
If you disallow one shitty writer who writes heterosexual RPF about her, you're going to also net the shitty writers who write HOMOsexual RPF about her, and that includes alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll of the god fucking awful RPF and y/n cuntery that I keep seeing in this Cult of Jenna. Y'all who write and consume this shit to begin with are lazy/unimaginative and can't be bothered to read a smut story about two people and project onto that, it has to be a goddamn self-insert (which back in the day was called a Mary Sue and was frowned upon/laughed at).
THEY know this, but apparently you don't. They're not going to go after any RPF fan fic writers or websites because it isn't worth the trouble. Be outraged that it exists, but if it's a story about two consenting real people adults, no matter how poorly it's written, it's not actionable. I saw what you said here:
You're all writing lesbo fic that can be construed as offensive by certain people, and if you're an Australian writing/depicting anything underage/under 18, you too could be thrown in a prison for your smut, just like Tori Woods was. Australia has tough porn laws that have also netted stupid things like anime, and they don't have anything like the American First Amendment (which is what AO3 abides by). What, we're not talking about Australia? Well Texas is trying to do the same shit, which will end up netting similar issues with anime/manga.
Regardless, in the U.S. we have obscenity tests that we operate under and most ALL of the fanshit I see RPFers write would fail point 3 of the Miller test ("Whether the work, taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value."). There's zero lit/art/poli/sci value in a y/n story about fucking "Jenna Ortega, your classmate and soccer buddy", no matter how you slice it up with the jokes that it is. Your weird fantasies about her are merely alternate versions of theirs, dressed up in better English with an extra pair of tits/no bio-dick.
You can't even see how what you're writing, even if it's 'respectful' and probably boring as fuck, is still shitty and disrespectful towards a REAL person whose sexuality YOU DO NOT KNOW. I know I'd be pretty fucking grossed out by millions of little gooners writing any kind fantasies based on their perception of who I, as a real person and not one of my characters, was.
Fact is, you don't know her, and whatever thing you think you're going to be doing I will cut you off at the pass right now. Stop it. If YOU want to keep writing your own RPF, you have to let the shittier writers write it too.
I can't even fucking believe I have to lecture ANYONE on the basic creative freedom rights that we all enjoy here in the U.S. (for now).
