      I try not to put too much hope on famous people of any stripe being good people, it will always just disappoint you.

      Better to start from the position of “This person probably sucks so best to not get any feelings wrapped up in them, just enjoy their art while you can.”

        That’s extremely cynical. While I’m not saying people are good simply because they are famous, most people are good and should be presumed so until proven otherwise. To assume that every famous person sucks on first impression sounds like you need to work through some unresolved hurt in your past.

              It’s such a weird take. “You must have been hurt because you don’t want to form parasocial relationships with people you don’t actually know personally.”

                  I am doin’ me, man. I’m not the one who came in as an armchair psychologist and prescribing what must be wrong with you.

                  Maybe the lesson you should take away about both celebrities and randoms on the internet is “don’t make assumptions about people you don’t know.”
