CELEBRITY HATE (or, Can Anyone Give Me An Actual Reason to Hate Zooey Deschanel?)

Or any other person, celebrity or no that isn’t racist, sexist, or other kind of hateful?

Because I’m pretty sure that just because you don’t like someone’s art or image doesn’t give you the right to spew vitriolic hate.

How is Kim Kardashian’s marriage or how Justin Beiber sings a legitimate reason for you to say awful things about them? Is your life so boring that you have to be hateful to strangers? They’re people with jobs and lives. They’re not even like politicians, where if they’re elected you’re directly affected by their decisions. If you don't like their work then, hmm...I don't know, DON’T LISTEN TO THEM/SEE THEIR MOVIES/READ THEIR BOOKS. DUH.

How is it okay to talk trash about people you have never and will never know when they’ve given you no substantial reason?

*spoiler*

It’s not.

Being hateful to someone that you don’t know, who hasn’t given you a good reason other than their existence annoying you (which isn’t even a good reason) is counterproductive to every social movement rooted in positivity, respect, and equality. It’s not oppression by any means, but it is prejudice based on literally nothing and mindless hate.

Am I making a bigger deal out of this than a situation warrants? Probably.

But I see it this way; All of the causes I care most about are based on uplifting people and giving everyone an equal opportunity to be happy and healthy JUST THE WAY THEY ARE, whether it’s how they’re born or how they choose to live. As long as it’s not hurting others, who gives a crap? I don’t think that stops at sexual orientation or weight or race or gender. If someone’s idea of beauty is facelifts and plastic boobs, then that’s how they feel beautiful. If someone has made a “quirky” image for themselves (whether it’s how they really are or not, which you don’t know them so who do you think you are to say either way…) that you don’t like, that sounds like a personal problem to me.

GOOD GOD, PEOPLE.
