Being a poser or a fake fan is really not that bad

It depends though. If you join a cause but know nothing about it or know how to actually supper the people affected then you can do more harm than good. Ie my friend defending trans rights so violently that she was insensitive to our friend who transitioned but then found out they had mental illnesses and that’s why they never felt right, then they wanted to detransition. Or supporting wars without doing research to know that you’re supporting people who are torturing civilians

^this is about posers for a cause, this isn’t about more lighthearted stuff. Though supporting a cause bc a celebrity supports it without understanding it is not good

I agree that being a poser politically can be dangerous, I was just thinking about non-political interests when I posted this
