How come celebrities who never thought once about us get more praise for "saving lives" by simply looking pretty and doing a few dances or singing than actual heroes such as firefighters, medical inventors, or activists who directly saved current and future lives? How come it's all "eat the rich" unless it's our favorite billionaire/hundred millionaire celebrity influencer? Any CEO or politician gets rightful hatred when they commit a crime, but celebrity who commit similar crimes often get defended or brushed aside by stans, thinking "they never could" or "the media is pushing a conspiracy against them," or "separate the art from the artist is more important." There's a lot of bragging rights whenever a beloved celebrity is not in the Epstein files, but nobody cares when some obscure CEO/politician isn't there either (if anything, we just expect them to be in the files even if they aren't).What is the human psychosociology to this?
>>18361052They are like heroes for those who grew up under their influence A kid in the 70/80s would probably see Stallone/Schwarzenneger like a medieval kid would about a famous knight
>>18361083the knight at least acted like a knight
>>18361083There's no equivalence here. Knights were military, celebs are entertainers. Entertainers being highly influential is a modern phenomenon brought about by the emergence of media(i.e the plural of medium)
>>18361102>>18361089For a kid, there is no differenceWhen he see rambo/rocky/terminator/conanIts like they are real in his eyes and when they grow up they still have this nostalgia
Celebs become like friends to people. Who's more valuable to you, your friend or something abstract like the inventor of some tech you use?
>>18361052People are fucking retarded and like worshipping famous people
>>18361052Influencers are even worse than regular celebrities imo. There's this czech influencer named sugerdenny. She's a fat stupid whore and most of here content is talking about what nigger she fucked, how drunk/high she got last week, whining about her adhd/depression/anxiety/daddy issues/bpd etc. and gossiping about other influencers. And she makes like 350k a year. She has some genuine fans who basically worship her. But a large part of her audience are "hatewatchers", people who find her stupidy amusing or like getting pissed about what a retarded whore she is. It's truly absurd that this person makes so much money
>>18361052Because celebrities are in the same place of religious worship. Science is too abstract for people to worship.
>>18361052>Talentless celebrityHer dad was rich you moron>TeslaHe was a gambling addict and made other incredibly poor financial decisions, especially later in life
Tesla was a fucking retard. He never attempted to truly profit from his discoveries until the very end, where he attempted to grift the US military multiple times promising them a death ray but that they’d have to pay him first before he showed it to them.
>>18361267This, also because there is a scary high amount of people that form parasocial relationship with celebrities
>>18361052worlds getting browner, we're all going to be low iq slumdogs one day
>>18362225Pls anon...i still want to believe that something like that wont happen
>>18362224It honestly is unsettling to me how many normalfags are unable to tell fiction and reality apart from each other when it comes to celebrities. Soap opera actors have been harassed IRL for things their characters did in shows for decades, and recently Nathan Jones received online hatemail because a character he plays is a creep towards young girl in one Furiosa scene.
>>18361052i want to rape her face
>>18362046>Her dad was rich you moronrich daddy is my favorite talent
>>18363043Tesla literally has a more feminine skull than that gorilla.
