Is it ok to parody a current political figure inside an NSFW story in an NSFW capacity?

    Like, hypothetically, if I'm thinking of writing a sex scene involving a character based off of a sitting US Senator (without any actual referencing of her politics/policy), how much obfuscation would be necessary in order for it to be ok? Could I, say, change her name slightly and be fine that way? Would I have to avoid mentioning what state she might represent or party affiliation? Would I have to introduce character traits that the real person would never admit to having (i.e. pedophilic tendencies--"Oh, obviously this character isn't supposed to represent Senator XXXXXX, because no one thinks she's an actual pedophile")?

    Trying to figure out where the line is, here.

    this doesn't actually answer your question, but I advise against it, because I imagined the phrase "Krysten Sinema porn fic" and immediately took psychic damage

    Going to be honest, it's NOT against the rules to do so.

    The issue is that one of two things is going to happen.

    One you make the parody SO good that without you ACTUALLY saying who it is parodying or that it's a parody, it's not obvious. In which case, you shouldn't need to say it's a parody.

    The other is that you end up on a soapbox going "Take That!" and run afoul of rule 8 when people start to comment and reply to said parody.

    So, COULD you do it? Yes.
    SHOULD you do it? Do you think you has the chops to do it well enough that people can't tell it's a parody and stuff? That's more you.

    yeah that's pretty close to like, a verbatim quote that guy maybe said one time

    I mean honestly my advice would be, if you want to write US Senator Porn for your own deranged reasons, it would probably be best to make it a parody of the institution as a whole that is expressly not parodying an existing senator or party. Don't just give a rhyming name like Lyrstin Linema, create a whole entire fake person that's like the Whig Senator from an entirely fictional state.

    It just seems easier for you, and Biigoh's blood pressure, to make it super-duper fictional, perpendicular to the real world, so IRL politics don't even enter into it, so you can focus on the part that's truly important, relatively: deranged Senator Porn
