Celebrity Defense Squad Incoming…
I know it sucks having a celebrity crush because I have one. I know it sucks to sit behind that screen and fall in love with someone you’ll never have the chance to have a real conversation with. I know how it feels to want to yell at them and scream at them and cry because they mean everything to you, but they don’t even know your name. But I never want to hear that someone told a celebrity that they don’t care about their fans. That’s not true. Itll never be true, in most cases.
I love my favorite celebrities just as much as the next person but I would never accuse them of not loving and supporting and appreciating the people who praised them to where they are today. They don’t have time to message back thousands of fans, like comments of millions of fans, or take a picture with every single fan. They don’t have the time or energy because, guess what? They are people. Look in the mirror, what do you see? Tired? Stressed? Confused?
Just because they’re perfection in your eyes doesn’t mean they’re perfection in their own.
Just because you have every second of the day to stalk them and think of them doesn’t mean they have that same time to do that to every single one of their loving and adoring fans.
Look back at how you discovered them, how you became infatuated with them, how you came to love them. Yeah, you see how great they did in that movie? Or how absolutely undeniably flawless they look in that ad-campaign? Well guess what, honey, thats their job. They get up everyday and that’s their reality, not just some two hour long movie you watched and then put on the shelf. That movie or picture or magazine is a building block in their career path; their future. But guess what else is a building block of their future? You.
Because who’s there to watch that movie they started in that their super proud of? You. Who’s there to like their picture on Instagram and overflow their comments sections with positivity to flush out the hate? You. Who’s dm will sit in their inbox until the day they have the chance to open it and be met with a beautifully (kinda creepy) paragraph about how much they changed someone’s life or how much someone adores them with even meeting them or how much they’ve inspired someone? Yours will. And that’s fine. You send that message. You leave that comment. You spread the word that that movie is the best movie you’ve ever watched. You tell ever person ever that that actor/actress did absolutely amazing with their performance. You do that, because you love them. You love them and they love you. You support them and they support you. You appreciate them and they appreciate you. Why? Because you have an impact on their life just like they do to you. Even if you cant see it, they’re greeted with that beautiful impact everyday when they open their eyes and see how much they have to be grateful for.
So dont ever say they dont love their fans. Dont be that person who gives opening dms a sour aura because who knows? That might just stop them from opening the rest and seeing all the bits of positivity their fans have left.
They’re people not Hollywood’s puppets, no matter how much it might seem.
