It seems like Pippa's fanbase dislikes Merryweather and is using this as an opportunity to criticize him, even though the incident was minor. It's interesting to see how some people here are more worked up about this than on /vt/True.
But at the same time, critique should come from a place of superiority, or at least objectivism.
What I see here isn't critique or commentary. It's an emotional diatribe being poured out by people who are outraged that a random semi-drunk person said something weird and incoherent about the object of their parasocial fascinations, which they won't even drop or let go of after said oshi said it was fine, because 'SHE DOESN'T KNOW THE DEPTHS OF THIS BETRAYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL'.
For every one person content to just go 'this was dumb and I think this guy was dumb' and leave it at that, I see two or three with the above reaction. If this had resulted in something like a spontaneous graduation, I'd understand. But this is so unbelievably overblown it makes everyone involved come across as unhinged and obsessive.
