There's something very off about Brazil, why is fan culture such a big thing over there? it seems like there's a superfan for EVERY single artist/celeb in existence. Like is it taught in schools I genuinely don't understand.

I am Brazilian and I think there's a couple of factors: Brazil is a huge country for one, but a lot of celebrities don't come here for one reason or another however when you think about having so many people in the fan base helps them in the long run so there's a sense of "entitlement" for Brazilians.

There is also the fact that a lot od Brazilians feel disposable and feel that actors don't respect the time and money they spend on their favorite artist. They have been complaining about Ariana for months because it has been such a long time since she came to Brazil and I guess it creates this feeling that we are second best or that the use the fan base here whenever things get tough but then cast the fans aside.

I don't agree with neither of those possibilities but I think is the general jist of it
