Peter Davison is my Spirit Animal

Ok people this is getting ridiculous. It’s one thing to be a fan and admire someone for being awesome. It’s one thing to wait at a PUBLIC EVENT to get an autograph. It’s one thing to reblog pictures/look up info or interviews/fan girl or boy over your favorite celebs. It’s completely different when you get creepy. Creepy things include:

• ·         finding out where they’re staying or having a meeting or just going to be then going to said location and waiting for them to show up. Or once you spot them and you notice that they seem busy, following them around until they’re not busy.
• ·         Looking up/trying to find their place of residence.
• ·         Crowding around them with a group of friends (or strangers) as they’re trying to arrive at or leave an event (or get in their car) then posting the encounter on Youtube. (This just shows the world how much of an ass/creeper you are.)
• ·         Jumping on them at public events. (or when you see them in public)
• ·         Sending them nude photos of yourself or your used underwear via their fan mail. (Their fan mail is screened so they most likely won’t see it, but some unlucky mail boy/girl will.)
• ·         Pestering their twitter/facebook/any other form of social media with: marriage proposals, birthday shout outs, “please talk to me” messages, “UR hot. We should fck” messages, “I hate you” messages, or things like this in the hopes that they will talk to you.(They won’t.)

There are probably other things that can be put down on the list, but these are just the first things that have come to mind since some of them have been featured alongside one of my favorite celebs and acting idol Tom Hiddleston.

This message is being prompted because of the rumored actions of a fan jumping on him at Cannes while he was trying to sign autographs. While trying to find the validity to this statement VIA google, the drop down (shown above) gave me the option to search for his address. The fact that it shows up after a few key strokes isn’t ok. SO NOT OK. It wasn’t ok for someone to violate his personal space, and it’s not ok that people think it amusing or awesome to try to find out where he lives. The man (along with other public figures) is human no matter how awesome or perfect we think he is. Can we please treat him, and other celebrities like him with the dignity and respect they deserve? Those creepy actions listed above are the actions of a stalker. You may think “He’s a public figure. He should expect it,” or “He’s just so awesome I want him to love me,” or even “That’s not a stalker behavior. That’s what fans do.” All of it is wrong.  Here are a few dictionary definitions of a stalker:

• ·         a person who pursues game, prey, or a person stealthily.
• ·         a person who harasses another person, as a former lover, a famous person, etc., in an aggressive, often threatening and illegal manner: Hollywood stars often have security guards to keep dangerous stalkers at bay.
• ·         A person who harasses or persecutes someone with unwanted and obsessive attention
• ·         to pursue persistently and, sometimes, attack (a person with whom one is obsessed, often a celebrity) 

You may think that none of those actions on the creepy list are stalker type behavior because there was no violence involved, but the truth of the matter is most stalkers don’t start out as violent. They’re just really obsessive, then something triggers them into behaving violently. I’m not saying that those people who have done things from the creepy list are violent stalkers or that they will become true stalkers. I’m just saying that they exhibit behaviors that the truly scary stalkers do in their early stages.

You may also think that those behaviors don’t really count because he famous, but think about this, if you or anyone else you know did those types of things to someone not in the public eye, wouldn’t you label them as creepy or a stalker?   The fact that someone is famous doesn’t change the definition of a word. The fact that someone is famous doesn’t justify your actions. They’re still people too, and you should treat others like you want to be treated.

If you’ve done things from the creepy list, don’t think I hate you because I don’t. I just want you to realize that your actions have repercussions. For example, after the supposed incident with Tom, he stopped signing autographs for the rest of the fans. He could even, at future events, refuse to sign autographs or take photos with fans. He could even stop answering fan mail. Do I think he would? No, because he genuinely cares about his fans, but I can guarantee that he’ll think twice about it.  Just use your heads and treat him like a normal person. He never asked for this. None of them do. All they want is to do the things they love, and have other people enjoy it with them. 

Just food for thought.

I’m wondering if they just stuck some color association in making over half of the fire nation communist countries.  Hmmm…
