Your #1 FAN!!!!!1!!11!one!

Twitter, Celebrities & Fandom.

Let's just jump straight into the deep end with this: I love Taylor Swift.

She is talented, beautiful & she has an amazing voice. I don't have an opinion about her personality because unfortunately for me, I don't know her. Now I understand if her music ain't your thing. It is definitely my thing, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion & I respect that. 

But this blog is not about how much I like Taylor Swift. It's about the crazy fans...ok and a little bit about Taylor Swift. 

It's never been acceptable to bully and abuse people at school, work or... well...its safe to say its never acceptable to abuse or harass anyone, ever.

So what is different about celebrities? Their wealth? Their fame? I've been told it just comes with being famous. To me that's like saying to be treated like shit just comes with being gay. We are better than that.

Do not threaten & harass celebrities about their personal life and that includes emotionally blackmailing them with threats of self harm to try & get a response.

 

What kind of fandom is that? What response were you expecting... something like..

"Oh no, please don't. Infact, you can move in with us, live in the pool house, fall in love with the next door neighbor, get into UCLA & live happily ever after"  

(because that's how i like to pretend the story ends...)

 & i know some of the comments being made are just internet trolls, competing over who can be the most offensive but I am talking about the actual crazy fans. 

I am aware that during the emotional roller coaster of adolescence, we say things we regret, but it seems likes fans are behaving less like a "#1 fan" & are now bordering on "Single White Female" or Chip from "The Cable Guy" & worst of all....

....you're not even getting the free Cable TV.

Whether you are 'tweeting with intent' or just venting through an empty worded emotional outburst, there's still no reason to send it to the actual celebrity. Why would they care what you think about their personal life?

If you bully someone for having an opinion, or singing it, or bully someone because you are a jealous fan of another celebrity, at the end of the day all you get out of it is......nothing, actually. Most celebrities just ignore you, because it's not worth acknowledging. 

I'm sure some celebrities read the abuse & have a few chuckles over it, whilst they chill out in the pool of their Million dollar mansions.

I think it's ironic that people who are harassing and bullying celebrities about their personal lives are saying "I would never be with Taylor Swift, she might write a song about me"

There is already a song about you...

it currently has 53 million 700 thousand views on youtube.

...and best of all, it's Taylor Swift.

I'd just like to add, that this post took me a lot longer to write than i thought.... I kept stopping to listen to Taylor Swift.

Gillard & her Australian Values

Australians all let us rejoice, for we are young and free..ish....sorta.

Did you know that in the process to becoming an Australian Citizen you must adhere to these Terms and conditions?

That's cool because we are a multicultural country where every race, religion & ethnic background is embraced and respected. We offer freedom, compassion & equality for those around us...unless...apparently.....

You're LGBT

It doesn't matter that you are born this way (unintentional GaGa reference), Gillard believes that either you're born straight, or you have less rights than those that were. Her (Third time?) shutting it down & She's PROUD of it.

Very recently, in a move backed by the Green Party, an Australian MP proposed that the issue of equal marriage be put to the public for a vote. Now i believed that Julia Gillard would take this opportunity to tell us a little white lie ...a steaming PILE OF SHIT about her sudden change of heart, her newfound support for Marriage equality and how it's all completely unrelated to the upcoming elections. But I know Gillard would never promise something during an election campaign that she wouldn't deliver after winning.... uhh... right??

So anyway, then i saw this:

"Julia Gillard and Tony Abbott reject calls for gay marriage vote before election"

Far out. That didn't take long. Julia Gillard (in an attempt to be like Thatcher?) has laid down the law with marriage equality and this is what she keeps telling us:

 We don't believe in Equality 

&
We will not allow the public opinion to be heard

I'm yet to be "educated" with valid reasons why marriage equality is bad.

 I heard that one of the reasons is that a kid should always have 1 father & 1 mother.I know people would only say this if it were based on facts right..?

So i'm guessing it has been medically proven that the physical & mental well-being of kids is in direct correlation to the household ratio of penis to vagina?
