How to deal with delusional Justin Bieber fans?

[Aloelle]

I have an Ariana Grande fan twitter account with quite a lot of followers (5 thousand). Earlier on today I was having a rant about Justin Bieber and his behaviour and how he's a danger to society, a brat, needs help, etc. I did it because I'm a person who has been affected by drink driving before and I feel extremely strongly about the subject. Before I knew it there were HUNDREDS of JB fans in my mentions, telling me to die, calling Ariana a wh*re, and calling ME one. Worst of all they were calling me ugly. My link on my profile on twitter is to my tumblr where there are pictures of me, and some of them were even tweeting the pictures and mocking me. I've always been really insecure about my looks and even though they're just pathetic kids on the internet it still really got to me. I deleted my account because of the hate half an hour ago.

I just can't believe that people would say such vile things online. If you can't handle somebody's opinion about a singer who you don't even know, how will you survive in the real word?

What should I do about it? I feel so scared and upset

P.S. I find it so hypocritical how beliebers always tweet about how "the media bully Justin" yet they do the same to anyone who isn't obsessed with him.

The best thing that you can do is to ignore them. They are whiny little children who don't know good music when they here it and are just blind sheep that would jump off of a bridge if bieber told them to. They are only trying to seek a reaction out of you because they are just butt hurt, and they are a mass of sub-human parasites. If it is a large problem like you are suggesting then I recommend that you either block them, report them, or contact twitter and tumblr for help. I have both a twitter and a tumblr account myself, but I don't use them too much so I can't tell how well that will work.

The only other thing you can do is strike back, and show that you will not be pushed around and bullied around by them. If it makes you feel better and if the picture is really you, you are a beautiful girl, so don't be self-conscious and don't listen to them. Even if that is not a photo of you, you are still beautiful anyway.

There is nothing you can do about the twisted opinions of people who are delusional about a celebrity. I am a substitute teacher and I had middle and high school girls getting up in my grill after I made the comment that Beiber is a Hannah Montana wannabe (before Miley got all slutty and controversial and all). The fact is that people who are obsessed with celebrities will always be the "fanatic" and may never see the practical side of an argument against the object of their obsession. Beiber is a danger to himself, to the people on the street, and to the teens who are so easily beguiled into thinking he is all that and a bag of chips. Honestly, there is nothing you can do short of retracting your statement and apologizing for your statement, which I am sure is contrary to your actual position, that will do anything to appease their hateful comments. I say to you to let their comments roll like water off a duck's back and live to blog another day.

1) He is not really a "danger" to society... There are neighborhoods in my city where there are break ins and robberies daily... I'm sorry but "mischief" (throwing eggs at houses) is not a danger to society... I know he had that D.U.I, and yeah that can constitute for one experience since drunk driving is responsible for a lot of deaths and injuries... however I wouldn't call him a danger to society for that reason alone.

2) Don't take there opinions seriously. It's common for people to ATTACK the PERSON as opposed to the persons opinion... and these "attacks" are out of shear hate and really not even what they think. For example, if you were on normal or good terms with one of these girls, they might say "you're pretty". But if you're arguing with them, they would say "you're ugly". Just how it works with a lot of people...

3) I don't know why you wouldn't "believe" they would say these things online... I mean, on the internet the most of us are anonymous in some way or another. I mean you had your picture up, maybe they did, maybe they didn't... but chances are, y'all ain't know and cannot find where each other live. Point is, people are more likely to talk in general, on the internet... whether it's there opinions or they're insulting someone. Take me for example, I am very introverted in real life... I am not as likely to express my opinions out loud... like I'm sitting in class and I got a lot I wanna say, but I won't raise my hand to speak.

4) Well the thing you need to do is figure out why you feel scared and upset... talk to yourself or find some outlet you can express your feelings, you know? You gotta find the reasons why you feel this way and then from there is when you solve your problems. To me it seems like these problems are 100% mental, and just arose. So you're not scared because someone placed a hit on you, you're scared because of some psychological reason... now unless you a mental illness, it's prolly just a short temporary issue you can logic your way out of (ie: you're not really in any danger because some teenage girls threatened you online)
