An “offensive” question posed by a netizen who did not understand fandom culture sparked a heated debate online.
This might offend many people, but since I was young, I never understood the point of stanning celebrities. We’re all human, so why do you have to stan another person? Can someone answer me?

The question caught the attention of many netizens, attracting hundreds of responses.
Once you feel like there’s no meaning in your life, stanning celebrities becomes that meaning. Honestly, I didn’t understand either, but when nothing else in your life makes you happy, and celebrities can make you happy, then stanning celebrities becomes the meaning of your existence. It might be meaningless, but then again, what is the meaning of life? I don’t know either.
– Netizen
However, the original poster did not appear to agree with this point of view and responded with a seemingly sarcastic comment.
There’s no meaning in life, so you do something even more meaningless? How fun.

This triggered other netizens to defend this view and criticize the original poster.
