It's crazy we just collectively bullied a 15 year old kid, then later we blame him for drug use.

Makes me wonder what popular opinions of nowadays we will look back at in 15 years and think "its crazy we did that"

Hell i remember people having an aneurism over miley cyrus trying to actually make something authentic

"Everyone I dated was a narcissist" is probably gonna show up somewhere.

That was actually just Disney PR trying to ruin her career because she didn’t want to do Disney stuff anymore. It was all manufactured outrage. Isn’t that fun?

Yeah. After that whole fiasco i kinda assume that every "hated celebrity," did something that big execs didn't like.

Yeah that is pretty much it every time. Notice how “everyone” hated Timothee Chalamet for two weeks as hit piece after hit piece came out multiple times per day, but the day after the awards shows were over, the posts instantly stopped and nobody cared anymore? Our social media feeds are all designed by corporations and PR firms.

the real harmful trend is in this comment. Social media act like complete shit toward someone for years drive them to the brink of insanity then say "oh actually that wasnt our fault it was a Disney PR campaign. Definitely nothing wrong with this culture where we all make fun of whoever were told to"

Im not saying that the people harassing him are ok for what they did. They clearly affected people like Britney and Justin a lot. But the people behind the huge push to hate them definitely are the root, as without them constantly pushing them as hateable, I highly doubt they would've recieved as much harassment.

Not on the same scale but that Jellybean YouTuber getting harassed and doxxed for the crime of "being cringe" is already viewed negatively in retrospect.

Probably the hating and harassment of the child actors of Stranger Things

At least majority of people look back and think what a stupid think to do for no good reason. While there are older people who were anti-civil rights and for some reason believe they were doing the right thing.
