Celebrities sometimes have difficult experiences dealing with people. Not just fans, but oblivious people, too, especially if those people are using social media.
Online, it’s easy to forget to check who you’re talking to, and it’s not hard to accidentally say the wrong thing to someone who happens to be the designer of a popular video game or the voice actor from your favorite TV show.
