Unequivocally privacy needs to be respected…. And for the most part fans appear to acknowledge that in a private setting… there will always be outliers of excepted conduct… and perhaps it’s generational.. entitlement and ownership that allow for a lack of respect
Examining the generational differences between celebrity worship culture could be very interesting. Is there anything different in the way Chappel Roan is treated in 2024 vs. the way Marylin Monroe was treated in her time? There is also the intersectionality of gender and misogony at play, it seems to me that, historically, inappropriate behavior is most often conducted against female celebrities, but I don't know enough to say how much of a gap there really is.
I may have already sent this .. but I mean the age of the fan who feel it is ok to violate privacy standards ie. 16 to 26 will be different than 26 to 36 and 36 to 46.. and so on… as to gender I have thoughts but no real evidence one way or another
It’s the age group of the fan regardless of the era … fans from 16 to 26… react differently then those 30 to 40.. and so on up…. As for gender… I have thoughts but little or no evidence
Well written,thought provoking… but isn’t art a commodity?….to be appreciated and embraced or does art only exist for the creator?.. perhaps you confused “ownership” with the observer’s need to feel a part of the art and what it makes them feel….adoration can of course exceed boundaries.. but to reject that adoration… seem in many ways hypocritical…. Perhaps
Art is a commodity under our present systems, yes. In a vacuum, devoid of transaction and monetary value, art is purely expression. My point is to say that this commodification creates a distinct relationship between the art, the artist, and the audience that is categorized by ownership. Roan doesn't reject adoration, if she rejected adoration, she wouldn't want to be a pop star at all. She wouldn't perform and she most certainly wouldn't engage with an audience online. She is rejecting inappropriate conduct and invasions of her personal boundaries, and that kind of behavior, I believe, stems from certain audience members who feel a sense of ownership and entitlement because of their support of her music. And because art is a commodity, that support is intrinsically financial. You can support an artist and you can publicly show your adoration, but that doesn't mean you disrespect their privacy. There are plenty of fans who identify with the art and participate in adoration without asserting that they are owed anything else.
