I think you are right that when it comes to idols or famous people, There will be extra scrutiny, and people will try to read deeper into a possible motive whenever they do something. And yes, sometimes there isn’t a motive.
Did Coco even make a political statement.She just read some statistics.
It was turned into a political statement when Cover agreed that it was a problem and suspended her.
That to me, was the real issue.
This has less to do with fan being zealots towards and idol, and more about some people being zealots towards a doctrine .
You are right that AquaÂ’s interactions from now on will be hyper analyzed by both sides, though. But that isnÂ’t a toxic idol thing, i think. It’s ’s a toxic culture wars thing

Second, the law has to be predictable. There has to be a reasonable expectation that the rules tomorrow are going to be roughly the same as the rules today. And third, the authority has to be fair. It can’t treat one group differently from another.” Malcolm Gladwell
