      People suck at reporting on their experiences. Like, good luck knowing what garlic bread is like without eating some. “Oh just ask someone who’s eaten garlic bread. White men never LiStEn”

      I actually agree with you, but I also don’t think it’s realistic to expect people to be “real” around a celebrity.
