Fans have creative ways to show their love for their idols. Some organize themselves in a group and make their presence felt through social media and live shows of their idols. They scream and wave banners as cameras pan their location. Meanwhile, others use their talent to come up with a project featuring their idols. Fans with excellent artistic talents would show off their rendition of idols in various paintings. The more technically oriented will upload memes and videos in praise of their favored personalities.

For the more old-fashioned and hands-on fans, making scrapbooks has become a trend in the past years. A scrapbook could compile pictures or artworks that satisfy the artistic talent of the creator. Some fans have carried scrapbooking to new heights by devoting their talent to their idols. Thus, some only focus on collecting photos and articles of a particular actor or actress. Then, these photos and articles are placed artistically on the sheets in their scrapbook. Fans sometimes download from the web for photos or cut from actual magazines.

While most fans keep their scrapbooks for their pleasure, others give them as gifts to their idols. Yet, the most important function of having scrapbooks is for documenting the growth of their idols. One time, Lucky Actress (LA) saw that someone (SO) was eagerly compiling articles and photos for Cute Talent (CT). Being close to CT, SO presented his collection to LA, who appreciated looking at the articles and photos on CT. LA encouraged SO to continue the work. After all, very few persons have the patience to search magazines and to compile these articles.

As weeks passed, LA saw that SO was diligently doing his hobby. However, LA frowned because as she was going through the compilation, she realized that much of the later articles in the compilation expressed unfavorable views on CT. She then instructed SO to stop collecting articles that show CT in bad light. Apparently, LA felt hurt whenever CT was nitpicked or when complaints were thrown at his behavior. It seems that LA disapproved the way CT was being publicized, and thus, she refused to come across such articles.

Being a veteran of showbiz, LA should already know that people would always find fault in a celebrity, and with social media, anyone could just write on their bad experience with a certain personality. Wearing rose-colored glasses will not work all the time.

‘The clear problem of the outlawing of insult is that too many things can be interpreted as such. Criticism, ridicule, sarcasm, merely stating an alternative point of view to the orthodoxy, can be interpreted as insult.’ - Rowan Atkinson
