If you’ve ever seen a Twitter hate mob of Directioners, Beliebers or Little Monsters in action, it’s not a pretty sight: the fanaticism of some fans of One Direction, Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga respectively is genuinely unsettling in its ferocity when riled.

We know what we stand for, and what we stand for is bravery. I know this because what I see on the internet is not what I see at my shows.”
