Celebrities

I don't know why this bothers me so much, but it does. I just recently saw a video of Benedict Cumberbatch signing things for fans and he looked miserable. This lead me to think about how people tend to freak out about famous people. Now, I am going to be a tad biased, because I rather disapprove of most of the celebrities in the US, since most of them got their fame by being dramatic and weird and not by possessing talent. ANYWAYS. Though I do think it would be wonderful to meet the famous people that I admire, it would certainly be better to go about it in a different way. Objectively, I can see how people would freak out about seeing (still using this example) Benedict Cumberbatch, I mean, he's a lovely person, he's gorgeous and far above all, EXTREMELY talented. But they should still respect everyone's wishes and personal space. It seems as though, because they are on TV or in magazines or what have you, people tend to objectify famous people and therefore disregard the fact that, despite having recognized talent, they are human, the same as the rest of us.

In addition, I've been noticing that this has been happening to famous YouTube people like charlieissocoollike. I've seen a video of him being...kind of surrounded by fangirls, and looking rather uncomfortable.

I don't know why this annoys me so much, but it does. (This is actually one of the reasons I left Tumblr.)

Mostly it's the invasion of privacy and alienation and hype surrounding these things...
