Our scriptures and elders advices ask us time and again to be patient, sweet worded, and thoughtful before every word we say and everything we do. The 'fans' themselves are normal people like you and me, involved in normal activities and perfectly pleasing in their usual daily behaviour. However when it comes to their object of affection - an entity that actually is no beacon of selflessness - just another person who is selfish like you and me, has business priorities in acting in a manner so that the tight irrational mob control over the 'blinded' fans, the nature of fans become like a Mr.Hyde - Frankenstein unleashed. The love they try to exhibit publicly is again becoming a perversion of their actual appreciation that originally made them like their object of reverance. untold manhours are wasted in unnecessary adulation and comparing this with religion and spirituality or even politics is the ultimate degradation of the soul and mind - while true spirituality makes the behaviour better and mind clearer, a fan boy behaviour makes someone irascible, intolerant to the existence of others and other viewpoints. Though religious groups often show this kind of debased attachment to 'identities', the whole society and the majority in the religion themselves condemn the attitude and behaviour as 'fundamentalist'. However the blind fans have no controls that a religion or even a political group has. The object of fixation - the movie star derives all the financial benefits(like a grand opening inspite of a low quality content) of an adulatory mob while having none of the responsibilities to their fans' actions, words and thoughts.
