Why do fans on India Forum think that their life's sole purpose to promote their celebrity and bash all the others who share contrary opinion?

Why do they all do so much homework when their beloved does not give a rats ass to them at the end of the day?

Why the hell does every discussion on celebrity get personal over members with all sorts of accusing, bashing, personal remarks, MID's, hate PM's etc?

Why is the Bollywood forum in specific has an overdose of insanity as compared to the other sections? Even the rabid soap sections seem to stay in limits as far as personal remarks and comments are concerned?

Where has the rational spirit of bollywood forum gone?

What is the need to ask this question, Shak? You could easily just go on the homepage and make your own research like members do. haha

Honestly, I don't know. I come here to kill time.

^ And what do I do with the statistics? Use them to mock members?😆 I'd prefer killing time in the right way.

I just took a break from IF and feel like I can take another one.. Somethings around here will never change or should I say some members.

that's an excellent question, shak...
in my opinion... it's simple... people are who they are... this love for celeb or hatred for celeb are all excuses...
it's not bad to get into heated debates... that happens... but what is absolutely ridiculous is the name calling and people using excuses to start name calling others to settle their own agenda...
rational spirit left seeing all the pollutants in the air... i am going to take a break myself from this madhouse... good thing i'm leaving on my vacation soon... it'll be good...
even the rabid soap sections are better than this... being part of a few, i can definitely attest to that...
there is no hope left for this section..

And why do some people have the sole purpose in life to rile up fans? Spending time observing every move of the celebrity they hate to rile up fans. Atleast fans devote their energy to someone they like.

Because fans most of the time add fuel to fire? It's not bad to be a fan. We all have our favorites. But then you should learn to accept criticism against your beloved as well. I personally know hardcore Salman fans who have no issue with me writing against him. That's what I appreciate. What creeps out is when you start defending the celebrity without any evidence mocking the other and getting personal. This is when people begin to rile up fans.

i think its beyond stupidity, the BASHING word which ppl use often here they forget tht most of the times tht is used for fun. but the personal front comes on...how dares he TALK like this for my fav...let's teach him a lesson.

for instance posting just an article b/w salman and akshay the comments tht were posted in between were may OR May not be posted as a reason for mocking, but by then the thread was followed like VIDYA - an A CLASS Escort could show the frustration beyond 🤣 and it just went on and on and on...gladly except two or three people nobody posted in those topics...becoz it didn't have any sense. 😆

i did read those threads for laughter becoz i could sense wat was going on...what ppl needs to reAlize if someone says something bad ..u can't help it..u can defend but u can't go on...and what will happen...it will start again in other threads..if u can't ignore then give back such replies tht it doesn't show ur stupidity atleast and u can bring it to a logical conclusion

Why do they all do so much homework when their beloved does not give a rats ass to them at the end of the day?Because celebrities are worshiped by people,no matter where you go.They don't care if the celebrities even know their name and what they are doing but as a fan they try to promote the stars they like as much as possible.Its completely subjective.I might think its a waste of time but hey,its his life and his wish.

Why the hell does every discussion on celebrity get personal over members with all sorts of accusing, bashing, personal remarks, MID's, hate PM's etc?Its kind of same everywhere in the virtual world.MIDs and hate PM's show that the person behind them simply has no guts to speak directly with their original ID while others might do it just for entertainment.Bashing and accusations will exist because this is the advantage of the virtual world,you don't know the person whom you're bashing so don't care about them as well.

Why is the Bollywood forum in specific has an overdose of insanity as compared to the other sections? Even the rabid soap sections seem to stay in limits as far as personal remarks and comments are concerned?Too many celebs in Bollywood and hence too many fans as well.Add to that the constant fights among the celebrities either hyped by the media or happening in real which further forces the fans to bash the rival celebrity.Its like you bash my favourite,I will bash yours;kutta ne mujhko kaata,main kutte ko kaatoonga.Once that ends,insanity ends.But if insanity ends,BS ends.😆

Where has the rational spirit of bollywood forum gone?
Was there a rational spirit at all in the forum?I don't remember seeing members being rational while appreciating or criticizing Bollywood celebrities or even while interacting with members.Atleast not in the past one year.

My answers do not favour anybody,neither the critics nor the fans.If criticism is done within a certain limit and if fans stay as fans in a public forum and not become fanatics and turn irritating(there is a CFC for fanatics on IF,they might just go there),BS will be what it should be,a public forum.

it has nothing to do with riling up or not riling up... we have heated debates on this section earlier too... but since when is that a license for name calling...? is this how civilized disucsions take place...?
