After singer Portable’s latest menacing behaviour, you have to be more careful about the kind of people/artists/products you endorse

Those who supported singer Portable’s career up until now should not be acting surprised at the menacing nuisance he’s constituting in society today.

When you encourage a lunatic and cheer him to stardom, he will forget seeking seek help in the form of therapy or asylum. In fact, they gave Portable this influence and power that he now wields to catastrophic effect.

The same people that continue to mobilize and encourage thuggery and gang movements for their selfish lust for power?

So, it all falls on you to be more conscious. It’s okay to scrutinise your fandoms despite how much their work ignites that rush of dopamine that you feel.
