I will always fight this “think about the poor airports!” bullshit. There are hundreds and thousands of famous people that fly without causing the apocalypse. You should be asking yourself why are people being manipulated and their emotions extorted that they have to swoon over Swift. This shit doesn’t come out of a bubble, it’s a planned hype-up to produce sales. Any sane person seeing people actually lose their shit over their presence should be concerned for the impact they’re causing. None of this is sane or normal human behavior, idol worship is dangerous and causes extremism (link). It’s funny that celebrities are “so connected” with their fans through social media but instead you get a fancy poster that’s talking directly to you! Not a real human being who can be a piece of shit at times like the rest of us, not allowed to see the actual person behind the veil.
At what point does someone stop being a victim of their “social status” and become responsible for their actions? Billions in profit? Polluting thousands of times over a normal citizen? “She’s doing us a public service”, is this celebrity boot licking?

I’m not sure what it was about my post that led you to believe I condone that behaviour. I’m not saying it’s a good thing, but it is a thing.

You’re suggesting it’s Swift’s fault that grown-ass adults are incapable of not going feral in her presence?
