Evading Negative Responses

Generosity often comes from the heart and fans are the number one examples of this virtue. Sometime ago, fans would only spend money for their own expenses when they follow their idols. At certain times, they spend on gifts, but these are on the minimal. By contrast, today’s fans spend more money to show their admiration and support for their target celebrities. For instance, when fans find out a celebrity would be going to their area, expect tons of gifts to fill the room of their idol. Gifts range from letters and cards to food and other expensive stuff.

Unfortunately, generosity of fans can be taken advantage of without them being conscious about such acts. For instance, even the closest people in the lives of their idols benefit from the gift giving of fans. When fans give their gifts to Talented Actress (TA), they also consider giving a gift for her Close Kin (CK). After all, CK often meets up with the fans and she takes time to talk to them. Sometimes the fans perceive her as a fan herself and behave more like a fan of TA than a relative behaves.

TA has a Screen Partner (SP), who has also a Close Relative (CR) who is seemingly learning from CK. The generosity of fans is sometimes labeled as ‘sponsorship,’ and thus, the phrase ‘pa-sponsor naman’ means these close relatives do not want to spend their money if fans are willing to shoulder their expenses for activities. Whenever TA and SP go out of town for a show, expect fans to sponsor the presence of CK and CR.

As CK is very friendly with the fans, she sometimes spills the beans on the real score between TA and SP. She admitted that even before, something special was already happening between TA and SP. However, their camp could not really confirm anything as they might be criticized for allowing such behavior of TA. Besides, admission could tarnish the image of TA and SP, as fans might not like the truth once revealed and endorsements might ask if TA and SP are behaving within a set of norms.

‘It's about taking advantage of the opportunities you have right now, and right now we're in a position where you call somebody and they're willing to pick up and take the call because they're a fan, you have to take advantage of that and have a chance to capitalize on your ideas.’ - Dwyane Wade
