How is not wanting to be a complete dick to celebrities a bad thing? This obviously has fucking impact if in So. Korea is gets so bad it drives actresses to suicide. I am so fucking sick of seeing this mentality that just because these people are in the public eye, anything and everything goes.

South Korean celebrities are so wounded by the public calling them ugly that they kill themselves, and you think the insult itself is the problem? Don't you think there's something fundamentally messed up about a culture that so prioritizes aesthetics that people think it's better to be dead than ugly? Don't you think putting a huge taboo on calling people ugly is playing into that?

For the record, I'm talking about western-style celebrity. South Korean message board people will hunt you down in person because they think you might have been a little mean to your dog once.

Except that with S. Korean idols it's the industry itself that treats them like objects and encourages the audience to do the same. They're not driven to suicide because someone called them ugly, they're driven to suicide because they failed to meet the standards of an impossibly shitty system, and by that point, you criticize the whole system, not just the subset that's only playing into what they've been told.
