i know a lot of you don’t wanna hear this, but theyre 100% right. we should stan fictional characters without worshiping the actors who play them. stan the music, not worship the artists who make it. praise an artist’s work without holding them on such a high pedestal. https://twitter.com/amalchemy/status/1267088390014500864">https://twitter.com/amalchemy...

the concept of celebrities is so engrained into our culture that we dont think to question it, but we should. idc how nice and unproblematic ur fav actor is, worshiping the ground they walk on is harmful. why are we putting random ass people on a pedestal? theyre just people

and no its not about talent, bc there’s plenty of celebs that aren’t talented what so ever https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face"> normal everyday people are more hardworking and talented than some of yalls favs i hate to say it. why do they deserve that level of praise?

theres a difference between popularity and appreciation, and just plain worship. so many of yall will see a celeb u stan irl and you hyperventilate or cry or scream, and for some reason thats NORMAL?? and i’m definitely guilty of this shit https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">

the power dynamic that builds between 2 human beings that literally have no tangible differences between each other is SO harmful. what the fuck are we doing??

sorry ab this rant on main, but i feel like we, as stans, need to have this conversation.
