It’s sweet that Liam wants to interact with fans on X, but some fans’ desperate attempts to get him to reply are starting to make me nervous.
They might say they’re just interacting with Liam, who enjoys a bit of banter, and some fans do have relatively healthy exchanges. If it stays at sending warm compliments without crossing into stalker-like behavior, it’s fine and even cute.
But lately, some seem to think that posting negative comments will get a reaction (and in a way, they’re right), so they’ve started deliberately replying just to mock him.
At that point, they’re no different from paparazzi who shove cameras in his face or those fans who throw things at him on stage just to provoke him. Because they and the people replying to him on X basically want the same thing from him. It’s lame to keep teasing him while pretending he’s a wanker or stupid old fuck, all just to get that “trophy” of a reply from him.
Liam seems to be sticking around on X and he definitely enjoys the hype himself. Even so, I’m worried this might just keep escalating, or rather, it already feels like it’s starting to.
