1. [+152k] No one really cares that this educator committed a mistake; they’re all shading a certain celeb... this is the tragedy. The failure of our education system did not evoke discussions, but rather talks on fandoms. It’s too tragic. We’re about to die from entertainment. I hope that the media can guide the public’s attention towards the issues surrounding our education system, and towards the correct direction for discussions. Education is vital. 

2. [+108k] As an educator, you ought to lead by example. As an adult, you ought to be responsible for your own actions. As an employee, you ought to follow the rules of your industry, and abide its bottom line. 

3. [+90k] This fandom isn’t alone. Do not translate societal issues into fandom issues. In a different timeframe, a different school, and relating to a different celeb... the cases will still exist. It’s not the first time an educator brought showbiz elements and entertainment culture into their teachings, and the classes are fulfilling. This is but a manner of holding the attention of students. If you wish to manage the situation, manage it in relative terms. This way, while the interests of students are allowed to be piqued by entertainment culture, their attention will still remain engaged. 

4. [+70k] The idol here already told his fans to be be positive, and lead their own lives well. Why does this educator not listen? She pays no heed to the advice of her idol, and ignores the moral guidelines of the education industry. I hope she learns from her mistake, and bear responsibility.  

5. [+64k] What the hell does this have to do with fandoms? She’s a classic example, someone who rang all bells with her mistake. Please uphold the morals of an educator. Avoiding the involvement of personal motives, not hankering after dubious gains, and not generating warped thoughts, are things anyone in the education sector should take caution to follow. An educator ought to be a respected profession; do not stain it. 

6. [+52k] Let’s be real here, what does this have to do with celebs? What’s up with the comments? Isn’t the issue here the teacher? She doesn’t even understand her own responsibilities and obligations? 

7. [+46k] Be responsible for your own actions. We reject a one-for-all attitude. Her identity as human is greater than her identity as a fan. Be responsible for your own actions!
