Is there a "toxicity" in this fandom?

Apologies if this is a stupid question but what does RPF stand for?

Bottomline is Kingpin is a liberal control freak who everybody has to agree with. It's his way or the highway. It's not about being an 'asshole', it's about having an opinion that he doesn't hate. Best thing to do from my experience is to back down when he tells you what he thinks is right in a discussion. As plastroncafe says at the end of the day you're a guest and standing up to a mod does you no favours. It's not right but them the rules.
