Hey guys! In today’s video, I talk about the problem with stans aka stalker fans. I talk about how normalized it is on Twitter and people probably not realizing that being a stan is a bad thing. I talk about various issues I have with stans like overstepping boundaries and blindly following their “problematic favs”
