Since this may come up in the future on #TwitterOfTime, I thought I'd throw together three important things to keep in mind re: direct interaction with the cast of #WheelOfTime online. So, here we go:
How To Not Sexually Harass An Actor On Social Media
How To Not Sexually Harass An Actor On Social Media
Don't bring up the sex lives of their characters, even as a joke--Actors are not your friends. You are not a talk show host. You wouldn't walk up to a stranger and make comments about their sex life, so don't conflate the character they are playing with the real person.
Be mindful of your compliments on selfies/other pictures--I'm not saying don't be thirsty, but there's miles of difference between "Looking good!" and "Come sit on my lap". If it sounds like something a street harasser would say, don't do it.
Don't tag/snitch tag them in NSFW art or other content--Seriously. Do not fucking do this. Most artists/creators are very careful about where they post content and, regardless of your opinions on its right to exist, throwing it in their faces is gross.
This isn't an exhaustive list, but I'd hope it's common sense. Read the room. Be respectful and use good judgement. "Cringe" or other such comments might be annoying, but they're harmless. Sexual harassment is not.
Remember that they are PEOPLE, not their characters.
