“His concerts feel like a constant contest between him and the audience in terms of who would most rather be somewhere else.”

As a Viral Resident Writer at BuzzFeed, I cover politics, trending news, and pop culture through a lifestyle lens.

—Leading_Industry_700"Harrison Ford. Holy shit, it's absolutely Harrison Ford."

—Restart_from_Zero"Harrison Ford. In interviews, he behaves like the carpenter he used to be, who never wanted fame. Then again, he might have decided to just assume that role for the media."—CaptainDudley

—whimsy_moth"He had to cancel one of the two days he was supposed to be at a Con I attended due to scheduling issues soon after he was on Stranger Things, and the reaction on socials was so unhinged that I wound up rabbit-holing the fandom for a couple of weeks. It was one of the most parasocial fandoms I'd ever seen. Some of the fans not only stalked him in public, but they also paid like $100 each for multiple photo-op photos at one Con, then did it all again at the next one."—harlequinn823

"I spoke to someone recently who had joined a party I was at late because they had been to a Morrissey gig first. When I asked how it was, they said, 'It was alright. It was good until he called us all rapist paedophiles if we consumed animal products.'"—RedPandaReturns"I think it was Andy Richter that told a story about being in a crowded room with Morrissey after a show, and someone went up to Morrissey to tell him how much his music meant to them, and Morrissey goes 'Mmmhmm…' and points to another person nearby, '…and now you.' And made everyone in the room say how much he meant to them."—ThrowingChicken

—Princescyther"I'm pretty sure everyone involved with Sherlock hates Sherlock fans, and I don't blame them. I loved that show but didn't interact with the fandom because most of them are fucking nuts."—BigFatChimichonka

—ChocolateOrange21"I would imagine most wrestlers hate the weirdo fans that wait around at airports and hotel lobbies when WWE or AEW are in town, trying to get selfies or get them to sign merch. A few have called out the behavior, yet it still persists. It was really bad at Wrestlemania this year."—Ncrawler65

—Edit0rz1"The one clip from the Wicked press tour where a guy says he met his spouse through her fandom and she immediately looks shocked and concerned never fails to make me laugh."—rosalinatoujours"I have suspicions that her new song, 'hate that I made you love me,' is hinting hard that it's about her fanbase, not a man."—HappyCrow11

"I don’t think she hates the entire fandom, just the parts who are weirdly obsessed with her exes and sexual preferences (they’re a minority)."—OfriS13

"Her songs telling her fans to calm the fuck down are so obvious LOL."—NoninflammatoryFun"As a fan of hers, I honestly do think it’s true."—Specialist-Cut-3913

"Think these days he’s a bit ok with them, but when he was a kid they were SCARY."—BirdmanTheThird"We collectively did that to him; he was a child, and the Internet just went ham on him. I'm 40+ and couldn't handle it. Let alone in my teens."—dkarlovi

"She was the first person I thought of. It seems like she can't be bothered to even show up half the time for her own concerts, and then get mad when fans are upset???"

"I think he also despises a lot of his current base. The problem is that he invited a lot of these people to sit under his umbrella with his recent material, so he doesn't really get to be upset when they start to complain that it looks like a rainbow."—Swigen17

"Beat me to it. Guarantee there will be a "Blonde" reissue with a different cover and absolutely no new music on it in a couple of months, and the vinyl will cost $300 on his website."—dtpistons04

—KzooRichie"He once blocked me on Twitter because I asked if he could play 'Rocket' at the show I was heading to. The best part is that he played it at the show in the next city."—justlikebuddyholly

"Came here to say 'Dylan' in case nobody else did. I was surprised at how far I had to scroll to find it. Ask Dylan about Woody Guthrie, and he'd probably talk for days, ask him about 'Blowin' in the Wind,' and he'll piss on you with his eyes."

—AChapelRat"His concerts feel like a constant contest between him and the audience in terms of who would most rather be somewhere else."—UpgradedUsername

"She seems like she had not really imagined what it is really like to be a pop star and what it comes with, and ended up not liking it. In a way, she’s the opposite of Sabrina Carpenter, who seems to really enjoy being a pop star."—mixi_e

"She seems to want the money and fame of celebrity without the fans or being interviewed or...being a celebrity."—bucketman1986

—Glum-Geologist8929"I paid once to meet Patrick Stewart at a con, but they had to cancel his appearance. They replaced him with Shatner. He barely acknowledged me after I paid him a compliment. He was downright rude to my husband when asked if he would write 'to Loranne' (which was written out for him) for the autograph. He turned to his assistant and said, 'For future reference, I don’t personalize things.' Every other Star Trek actor I’ve met has been beyond friendly and kind. They personalize autographs with a smile. I met Nichelle Nichols, and she basically radiated love and light. I saw Brent Spiner and Marina Sirtis once really greet fans with energy and gusto. Leonard Nimoy even Skyped into a con I was at in the worst and near-end of his cancer journey just so fans could get to meet him when he could not travel. It’s really not hard to be a hero to your fans."

"Phoebe Bridgers, somewhat famously and for totally valid reasons. Her Gen Z 'fans' think they’re entitled to everything of her, and it drove her out of music until her comeback pop-up tour the last few weeks, which has itself devolved into a shitshow with people stalking her."—redsoxfan2434

–Creepy-Activity-4373"Not extremely famous, but the show writer Gooseworx, who made the indie show The Amazing Digital Circus, absolutely despises her fandom because it is filled with the most insanely annoying fuckers on earth. Genuinely, imagine the people who call for cancellations on Twitter over benign shit, and dial it up by fifty. Those losers need to learn boundaries, or finish puberty without being on the internet, because I genuinely think that they had to have been iPad babies with iPads in their hands before they even left the womb."—CrazeMase

—LankyAd1061"He definitely hates them. But he LOVES their money."

"Had to scroll way too far for this answer. He wants to be loved and admired, but the people who look up to him disgust him."—Carriebou73"He loves the attention, but he definitely hates that it comes from a bunch of brainless inbred clowns. He has made it pretty clear on multiple occasions that he knows anyone who supports him is a total idiot."—Illustrious-Peace989"The guy over at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave."—Geoarbitrage
