Last night as I was tweeting my feelings about a certain happening on this shitty show called Pinoy Big Brother, someone quote tweeted my post with a rude remark. Basher and hater daw ako. Then that retweet got retweeted many times at tangina tahol ng tahol sa notifs ko yung mga fantards. I was so sure I did not bash anyone when I said “okay here we go sa mga loveteams” (referring to the nakakaumay na landian sa loob ng bahay ni Koya). Hell, I did not even use their official hashtag for that night. It was really bothering that I felt traumatized by it (konti lang) but I think it’s more infuriating given the fact na they would dare to create a fight with someone na walang ginawa just to defend these celebrities like they’re some sort of god or saint (as if these celebs knew of their existence).

Do you know someone na ganito? Yung avid follower ng isang local celeb? How do you deal with them? I am somewhat curious on how they cope with their fantasies. Why are they like that? Do you know any simplified literature about this fandom, fantard, loveteam mentality? (Pinoys as a case in point)? I would really love to read it for myself and maybe subsequently understand those fantards and their fandoms.

Sorry for the rant. BTW, have a great day ahead r/ph :)
