1. Offing yourself. NOT. Ok.<\/h1>\n

<\/p>\n
The boy band One Direction is an English pop boy band that’s gained enough popularity since its foundation in 2010 to warrant a horde of teens clinging on their every word or deed. Which is why, when one of the members Zayn Malik left the band earlier this year fans took to social media in droves and threatened to commit suicide. Talk about having your priorities straight.<\/p>\n
2. Offing someone else. Also. NOT.\u00a0Ok.<\/h1>\n

<\/p>\n
When Lady Gaga had her feud with Kelly Osbourne, her fans jumped at the occasion of a good old fashioned mediAeval vendetta, including death threats. Yup, death threats.<\/p>\n
The grievous offence that started all of this was something for which you’d totally expect such a reaction, right? I mean how could anyone tolerate their favorite star being called a “butterface”?! “That’s it, madame! I will have satisfaction! Meet me on the morrow out of town for an honourable duel to the death!!!”<\/p>\n
It’s ok that you don’t know when the “offence” took place. Exactly. Not important. But if you must know, it was in 2013.<\/p>\n
3. Ancient-style curses<\/h1>\n

<\/p>\n
You might not know this, but in ancient times, they used to curse people a lot. And in many states (like ancient Rome), this as legal and there were officials sanctioned to take care of this. Curses could have many shapes and functions and\u00a0misfortune on your enemies and their progeny up to the umpteenth generation was just one of them.<\/p>\n
Turns out in our days you don’t need help if you happen to be a celebrity with dedicated fans. Because when American DJ Diplo made some comments about Swift, her legion of followers promptly started wishing him well on social media. Along the lines of wishing that his children would be born with Down-syndrome, among other kind words.<\/p>\n
4. Modern day weapons<\/h1>\n
![\"When](\"http:\/\/www.thisblogrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Justin-Bieber.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Possibly the most dangerous category of fans is that of fans who also happen to (apparently) skillful enough to perform some operations beyond the average person’s means. This cannot be overstated, because you have a pretty paradoxical combination of an individual who does display skills which require reason and yet, behaves in a clearly irrational manner. Spooky.<\/p>\n
The case in question is that of Justin Bieber’s fans who took to hacking Esperanza Spalding’s Wikipedia page after she… won the Grammy for Best New Artist instead of Bieber. As if she was the one to “blame”. Not the people who voted her more than they did Bieber.<\/p>\n
Anyway, blame\u00a0doesn’t even apply to this context so let’s just move on to pointing out that what they did was a crime, as in they broke laws for a completely irrational reason.<\/p>\n
