Putting them ABOVE other humans. 
Would you do this to anyone else? No, cuz it's creepy/would scare them. Why are you putting another existence above your own  Even if you're just obsessing over them.. it's just, really? |
The psychology is actually not that hard to comprehend. People want to be part of that person's essence.
I think humans are just wired to "worship", if you will. Ever since the first man wrote obsessive poems, songs, stories, books, about a woman who vigorously rejected him.
It just takes different forms, some are driven by money, prestige, love, deficiency, etc.
The only thing you can really criticize, I think, is the productivity (or lack thereof) that results from that worship. Which is different for everyone.
If the next person to cure a major disease is hugely motivated by "Flawless" and they bought all the merchandise with the song lyrics, etc. who's to say their stanning was in vain?
mhm!'d drag, it's just.. truthfull)
