Ep. 7 Don't Feed The Stans
or: the perils of modern fanbases (& harry styles)
Today’s episode is getting into modern standom, how artists have to walk a very delicate line because fans feel so entitled to them, the addictive nature of attention, and how it’s become shockingly easy to just completely erase the lines of traditional human boundaries when it comes to celebrities.
Come for the standom analysis, stay for my random tangents about MTV’s Teen Wolf! (Also plz know that when I talk about fanfic and the downsides I think that’s a tiny percentage of what’s happening but ignoring it is dangerous and part of why fandom can often feel like a runaway traaaaain!)
