  Imo it is fucking stupid to care about this stuff though. Celebrity worship is a cancer. Obsessing about the love lives of total strangers because they’re famous is not only pointless but also destructive.

    i don’t care about it but i also find the air of superiority from people who boast about not caring about this to be worse than actually caring about it. everyone cares about stupid shit. people just talk about this because it’s more demographically aligned with women. there’s disproportionate hate towards things women tend to like because we’re taught from childhood that it’s uncool.

    guarantee most of the people shitting on it here either mald about some ladder they’re unhealthily trying to climb, or have a pokemon card collection, or treat that one movie they found to be super cool as their bible or some shit.

    let people enjoy what they like. don’t act you only care about the environment and world hunger.

      because society pushes women to like these things under social pressure. it’s kind of gross. there’s nothing wrong with things women like, but this is manufactured. But hey, better than MAGA’s worshipping drump.

  As many as one-third of the general public may experience celebrity worship on a borderline pathological level. source
