Of course an actor's work and persona decide likes and dislikes. But abusive and vulgar behaviour of fans does affect.
Stuff written or experienced online does come to mind.
Especially if a star does something foolish or trashy then one thinks even more - no wonder he or she has fans like this.
Bit of rudeness is still bearable. But there is that extremely vulgar abuse that is like nail in coffin. That just seals the deal.
I do 100% agree that online bullying and trolling do affect the experience. It is annoying and abusive and dangerous if you get scary PMs from people you don't know. Rudeness is not ok.
BUT I still don't get why associate the star with the behavior of the fans in the first place. It is the forum that is annoying and abusive, not the star. This person will most likely be annoying even if they were in a car forum or a cooking forum. So if they like gulab jamun and vehemently argue for it, think people who don't like it are stupid and call people names, are folks going to stop liking gulab jamun because of that.
Now if the star's behavior is bad and people decide not to like them, I get it. But don't we all want to be judged on our actions ? Why should a star be judged on the actions of their fans ? People they don't even know. It is not even their family member misbehaving after all.
Even in this forum there are some people who take it a bit too far, but the majority are nice. But we do not want to paint the entire forum as bad based on the actions of a few, right ? So how is fair to judge a star on the actions of crazy fans and decide that they are somehow responsible for their actions ?
Apologies if I come across as rude, but I just don't get the reasoning behind disliking a star for actions of fans.
