As I write this I'm on a plane coming home from my vacation in key west. This is going to be up a day later than when I'm writing because this plane lands at 10:30 at night.
Through the five days I was gone, playlist live was ending, so I watched a lot of vlogs. Also, one of my most favorite youtubers Zoe Sugg did a collag with Sawyer Hartman about fan girls. I thought it was an interesting topic that I wanted to address because there are a lot of different fan girls.
Obviously, the thing/person/group fangirl-Inge about ranges: from bands and singers to youtubers and voters to Dr Who and the walking dead. However we can all agree on a main cause, to support our group and defend them at all cost.
I'm a one direction fan girl no doubt, if you know me I talk about the, about 93% of the time! I'll tie them into any conversation. However, I have some core values that I apply to how I fangirl (if that makes any sense at all).
1) respect. Respect is my main value for my life and this applies with fangirling. The people you love are just that, people. They get tired, they want sleep and privacy just like us. So when people say "______ didn't seem happy while entering the studio" or something stupid, I sit back and think, well if I was working constantly and being photographed, I might not smile every minute. Respect the fact that your idol can have bad days.
2) privacy. I've addressed this before when people were bombarding Liam's house after he got home from the world tour. He just worked for however many days and took 1 million+ photos! give the man some time with his family. The boys have a life outside of the band, don't expect them to be around each other when ever they get a break, if they want to hang out with each other they will but they have other friends too. But again, give their families the privacy (and respect) they deserved because their families probably miss them more than any fan realizes.
3) not spamming. This needs to be a blog post/YouTube video all in itself. Nothing annoys me more than when a celebrity posts something whether it be on twitter and Instagram and all the comments are "follow me". I'm not them, but I can assume they don't want their newsfeed clogged with you spamming and asking for DMs and a follow. Maybe comment something like "have a great day" or "thanks for all the time you put into the music". Not just "follow me".
Well that pretty much sums it up for now. I will most likely be adding on to this as I think more about it.
(Looks gross I know)
