Thank you. That situation was much more personal (and keeps getting dragged up with a slew of misinformation throughout all of this thanks in part to our good-old ex-comicgate women-in-comics-stabbing YellowFlash), and it was never my intention to jump into anything even remotely similar to the Channel Awesome nonsense ever again. I mean, believe me, who really wants a repeat of that? But I guess when it all comes down to it, in both instances, it's experiences of a couple people doing bad things butting heads against everybody else who is having a hard time coming to grips with the fact that their favorite famous person is not such a great person after all. It's painful, and it sucks. To an extend, I get why everybody is flipping out. But then... Well, I guess I never latched onto the idea of celebrity that hard, so I can only understand so much.
Tangentially, I went to the Hollywood premiere of Pacific Rim 2 last year and was in the crowd as the stars of the film walked up to the red carpet. And the insanity of people throwing themselves at the celebrities from across the barricade to shove things to have them autograph in their faces was one of the most panic-inducing things I have ever participated in. The cult of celebrity is a real thing. And if anybody thinks I am ever doing anything "for fame" or "for attention", Jesus Christ, please no. People be crazy, yo.
