The Fourth Wal

[sinderella81]

I feel recently, like some fans in some fandoms (and I'm in a couple, so this isn't a jab at any one in particular) have just lost their manners when it comes to interacting with actors/actresses/directors/etc ... Yes, the fourth wall has practically been torn down with Twitter and Tumblr, but ... I feel like you should still respect whatever famous person you are tweeting to ...

Bagging on an actor who they feel didn't do all they should have to keep another actor on a show is uncool ... Tweeting to someone and telling them about how they're making it hard to not ship them with one of their costars is inappropriate.

I just ... when did fans lose their shit and get this feeling of entitlement?  Respect these people who just want to have a little bit of a private life.  I get that they're famous, so they are in the limelight a bit but ... wow.

*shakes my head*  I'm glad I'm not one of the crazy ones.

I can't add anymore to what everyone has said as its pretty much my opinion too. So I will just say I agree wholeheartedly and wish the idiots of the world would go back under their rock. :( Its just all so stupid to treat someone badly just because their "show" isn't doing what they want. Like whiney little 5 year olds for sure.

I just have to shake my head at some fans ... really.
