The saying goes, "Whatever you like is right," and what pleases your heart is considered right
even if it's wrong. Conversely, the saying goes, "Whatever you dislike is wrong," and what troubles your heart is considered wrong. If a person or thing is to your liking, even if it's wrong, you can forcefully argue it's right, even if it's illogical; conversely, even if it's flawless, you can meticulously nitpick.
Most despicable is that those who agree with you are worshipped like gods, and no one can criticize them in the slightest—this applies to people and things alike; conversely, those who disagree with you are maliciously denigrated, subjected to the most offensive language, and even a mundane action can be twisted into a terrible accusation.
Following celebrities is common nowadays; everyone has their own idol, male or female. Among them are those who "worship them like gods" and those who "maliciously denigrate them." Whatever your favorite celebrity does is right, and you can find fault with everything others do. For example, raising your pinky finger: the former is cute, the latter is "effeminate." Two completely unrelated things can be used to create controversy.
Thus we can see that: the same event can have two outcomes, one of worry and anxiety, and the other of ridicule and mockery; the same thing can have two attitudes, one of reverence as a god, impeccable, and the other of wanton denigration, utterly absurd; the same celebrity can have two stances, one of those who please themselves and the other of those who worry about themselves.
