People who can't handle ANY criticism of their idols
What's this about, anyway? I thought we were all supposed to grow out of this kind of behaviour once we left our teens and outgrew our childish crushes, but it's a big problem even with adult fans. It makes it really hard to even attempt to discuss an artist/celebrity on a rational level.
Anyone else noticed it getting worse and feeling hacked off with it? |

It's always "THAT'S JUST YOUR OPINION!!!" and I'm all like "Yeah, I know".

Some Adele fans are kind of scary...and One Direction fans
The big war they constantly have with The Wanted fans! It's ridiculous! Never the JLS'ters though, we're the best behaved

In my short time here I've noticed it quite a bit, including turning other threads off topic because someone criticises them and it turns into a slanging match.
People have different tastes-that's all there is to it.

LOL, try saying anything remotely non-positive about Jedward anywhere and you will get about 10 people magically appearing all waiting to have a go at you.

Utter a word against her and you are accussed of taking part in the "build them up, knock them down" mentality...which, to be fair does exist but it's usually pretty obvious when someone is bashing just to be a bitch compared to someone who is putting forth a fair criticism. |

There are a couple of individuals on here that spring to mind but I won't name names.
Put simply, nearly EVERY artist/popstar whatever that gets discussed on here have their more obsessed fans. I'm fine with criticism of my favourite stars. When it gets personal and/or turns into some sort of pathetic hate/trolling campaign, that's when I have a bit of a problem with it. |

I don't care what anyone thinks. I know I have excellent taste and that's all that matters.

Essentially, fingers-in-the-ears-lalala approach on either side is silly. |

Gaga fans are truly dreadful for this. They then go out of their way to hate on Madonna, Rihanna, Katy Perry and Adele in revenge.

One Direction, Lady GaGa, Bieber just to name the worst
Taylor Swift, Adele and JLS can be pretty scary too, the last ones especially when you're a AB-fan. then they're like JLS were the real winners!!! and i'm like no, have you seen a different show than me? Though some AB fans can be very defensive |

It pisses me off when you are trying to have an discussion and all you get back is the forum equivalent of someone sticking their fingers in their ears going 'la la la I'm not listening.' This is a forum and it should be open to everyone's opinions, not just the one's you agree with.
Stans scare me, I'm a big fan of a lot of bands/singers. So I know what it is like to feel that connection with a piece of music, but to be at a stage when you can't handle anything bad being said, or just pluck out made up facts from mid air is just ![]()

The Bliebers and One Direction fans are most definitely the worse. The 1D fans went off on one last night after they got best single. I told my husband to reply to them about how much the single sold compared to Adele. If he did reply, that would of shut them up! LOL! |

LOL! The Beliebers are the worst, but I think that's because most of them are so very young. I don't mind people criticising my favourite artist, we all have different opinions after all, and I respect their right to air theirs, as long as its about the music, and they do it with intelligence and class. When things start getting personal that when I get really peeved. Such as when the beliebers attacked Lily Allen when she just had a miscarriage, that was beyond sick and extremely vile.

LOL! i have been attacked on the x factor forum for being critical of their idols when i have a good right to.What annoys me is that they think these boys are perfect when they clearly are not.The best part is that they think the boys have talent.
