What miserable lives these people must have to be bullying a person they have never met before

I wonder what these people who call celebrities names like “ugly” or “gross” online look like. I believe people who go around insulting the physical appearance of others cannot be happy about their own appearance. Let’s talk about projection

It's unsuccessful people with nothing better to do with their time, so they console themselves with the notion that they are somehow superior to others who are more accomplished. It's like the MAGAts who throw around "libtard" when they are talking to people far more intelligent and better educated.

Because they are jealous of the luxurious lifestyles of celebrities.

[AI Opinion]

A lot of it is projection and escapism 😶‍🌫️

Celebrities feel “safe” to hate because they’re distant. People dump their frustrations, jealousy, or insecurity on them instead of dealing with their own lives. Anonymity online lowers empathy, so it’s easier to be cruel.

Plus, drama and outrage give quick dopamine hits, so hating becomes a weird kind of entertainment for some. 🎭
