I stopped having any expectations for any cisman (famous or not, good looking or not, rich or poor, straight or not) to not hurt or resent girls/women a long time ago. I don't even know if there was a specific moment in time where I had an "Ah-ha" moment, but it is sad to know that we can't have much high expectations in terms of men's violence toward women.

Every femme fan will have to go through a moment of realization that putting guys on pedestals isn't something worth doing because you just keep setting yourself up for disappointment.

I've avoided talking to a friend about Dave Grohl because it was already a lot to see how upset so many creators on YouTube were disappointed and betrayed to hear about his infidelity. My friend had been a huge fan of The Foo Fighters and she really adored Dave Grohl when we were teenagers.

The Taeil situation is just really sad for the fans. I wasn't surprised, but to hear of the charges were not easy to digest. To know that his public persona was to be the sweet boy next door type is rather unsettling, because you know some fans really want to buy into this fake personality.

Even before the Taeil situation, I'd become wary of Kpop because the industry is just so rampant with controversies. The charges against Taeil coming out while also the media was making tee-hee gossip about Seungri's love life just really made me wish I could throw shit into a car and light it all on fire Angela Basset style.

I think my post is a rambling mess but I just want to say, the entertainment industry is a reflection of our real lives, so we can't simply throw our noses up in the air and say fame and fortune poison our souls. We do not care to protect girls and women and the men who know that take advantage of that knowledge in terrible ways.

I could never be as cynical as OP about people except for Kpop. Everything I hear about the industry is absurd and unnatural to the extreme. I hope OP can grow past assuming everyone of any gender is exactly like a Kpop idol irl.

The way I look at it, if you want to fantasize in peace about celebrities, don't press your nose into the aspects of their lives that they didn't invite their fans into. If you rifle through their dirty laundry, don't be shocked to find sh*t, what might be sh*t, or what lots of other people insist is shit even though coffee stains also happen. They are real humans, and they are not you, and as a result of those two things, their vices and failings and fuckups are not the ones you excuse about yourself.

I don't know what the guy in the picture allegedly did, but in general, I think it's not worth angsting over. Whatever feelings I develop for someone in conjunction with their being aesthetically appealing, charismatic, or a good actor are specifically about that: they're not a reward for exemplary behavior that can be "betrayed" and regretted at the drop of a hat after any old bit of printed gossip.

I'm not sure if I'm quite that cynical yet, but I'm certainly close and it's all down to personal experience. I don't venerate celebs (and I don't know who this guy is) of either sex, but particularly not men. Too many men who are rich and/or powerful have been revealed to be sexual predators, and even though people are eager to say #notallmen or say that women also abuse their power... yeah, and what do the stats on female sexual predators in power look like, eh?

Hint: men greatly outnumber them. That's not a coincidence.

I don't stan anyone just because I like their writing, music, acting, etc. That's ridiculous. But I definitely wouldn't stan any kind of famous man because I no longer trust men as a group. Are all of them bad? Of course not. But enough are that you'd be a fool not to be wary.
